Guide Right

 
 

The Southaven (MS) Alumni Chapter Guide Right Initiatives are designed to provide service to our fellow man. This area includes such committees as Community Service, NPHC Involvement, and Guide Right.

Guide Right is the cornerstone for many of the programs, but the service extends to so many areas in order to serve our community.
