COMING BACK TO TRIPLE X

In 2006 Bro. Ara reconnected with Bro. John Gulugian, a Charter Member of the Orange County Triple X Chapter. It had been many years since Bro. Ara had been around Triple X and thanks to Bro. John he was reintroduced to the Fraternity.

As a young boy, Bro. Ara’s parents were active members of the Los Angeles and Orange County Chapters of the Triple X Fraternity. Bro. Ara still has memories of the hundreds of people who would gather for the picnics, the Brothers arguing over backgammon and Bro. Ara getting a chance to play with some of the children of the other Brothers.

In Bro. Ara’s teenage years he attended some of the Triple X parties hosted at Bro. Art Kazarian’s home in Anaheim but didn’t see much of the Fraternity in the years that followed.

In 2007 after attending several events and reconnecting with some of the families he missed, Bro. Ara applied to become a member of the Orange County Chapter of the Triple X Fraternity and was initiated in May of that year.

CHAPTER EXECUTIVE

In 2008 Bro. Ara held his first position on the Chapter Executive as Corresponding Secretary.

In 2011 Bro. Ara served as Recording Secretary.

In 2012 Bro. Ara was elected Master of the Orange County Chapter.

In 2023 Bro. Ara became a Charter Member of the San Gabriel Valley Chapter of the Triple X Fraternity. Having been an active member of several organizations in the San Gabriel Valley throughout his lifetime, Bro. Ara felt it important that he be there for the founding of the Triple X Fraternity’s newest Chapter.

In 2023 Bro. Ara also joined the Los Angeles Chapter of the Triple X Fraternity. After having attended Los Angeles Chapter Meetings for many years (just because he enjoyed so many of the Brothers), Bro. Ara finally formalized his membership.

GRAND CHAPTER

In 2019 Bro. Ara was selected as Grand Treasurer for the Fraternity. During his tenure Bro. Ara not only collected the Chapter Dues in record time, he also standardized much of the financial reporting for the Mid-Term and Annual Conventions.

Rather than focusing on just his term from 2019-2020, Bro. Ara went back to 2009 and created standardized reports for the years 2010-2018 so that the financials weren’t just available for his term, but were available for comparison over all the years for both financials and membership from 2010 through 2020.

To this day Bro. Ara continues to work with the Grand Treasurers to help maintain the standards created and to assist the Grand Treasurers and Grand Chapter in any way he can.
