Los Angeles SoCalCats Chapter

Welcome to the Los Angeles Alumni Chapter Website!

The Los Angeles UA Alumni Chapter - also known as the SoCalCats - is proud to represent the University of Arizona graduates living in the Greater Los Angeles area. From the northern valleys of Simi and Santa Clarita, south to the Orange County line, and all the way east to Riverside and San Bernardino, we're the spot for Arizona Wildcats. Although Santa Barbara and Orange County have their own clubs, our borders are thin and depending on where you are, you may want to join in the fun with more than one group.

We always try to have something in the works for the local Wildcats, whether it's social, athletic, cultural, and even educational. Playing with and even battling against our counterparts in the Los Angeles ASU Alumni Club is often part of the fun. We even play a valuable role in student recruitment with the UA Office of Admissions and our own Chapter Scholarships.

Our chapter photographers are always roaming our events taking everything down for history. Check out all our event photos at http://www.socalcats.shutterfly.com. You can "right-click" and save photos to your PC or even order prints right there. (SoCal Cats has no connection with Shutterfly other than the free hosting of the share site.)

See yourself in a photo? Be sure to comment on a Shutterfly pic with your name and class year or "tag" yourself on pics on our Facebook page. We'll send them off to the Alumnus magazine so everyone can see our Wildcat spirit alive and well in Southern California.

Here are some photos of recent events. Visit the SoCalCats Shutterfly picture site for more event photos! Click any photo below to view a larger version:
