The Old Rhodians Gauteng Chapter brings all Old Rhodians – young and old - in this large geographical area to socialize, network, and to participate in sporting activities together.
In the past the Old Rhodian Golf Club served as the ‘networking centre’ for the ORs in Johannesburg and surrounds. They were instrumental in planning reunions with a difference and headed the launch of the very successful Purple Thursday Gatherings, with over 150 Rhodents of all ages attending these fun evenings.
The Old Rhodians Gauteng Chapter serves to expand the OR dominance in our own Gauteng and several networking Clubs and Societies are available for everyone to enjoy the Rhodes ethos.
WHY THE OLD RHODIANS GAUTENG CHAPTER
We aim to keep all our ORs interested in our university and the goings on of alumni in our area. We utilise the Old Rhodian network by providing a platform for Old Rhodian employers, businesses and job seekers alike to support one another. If we are anything, it is loyal to our crew and aim to make that easier for everyone. Rhodents are unique – we all have one wonderful thing in common and tend to be out of the same mould – let’s USE it and have some fun!
