OGs live and work in all corners of the world, and many old Grammarians continue to have close friendships with each other wherever they may be. To strengthen connections among the far flung OGS community, we propose to establish OGS chapters in cities where there is a critical mass of Old Grammarians.

To establish an OGS Chapter the following steps are suggested:
- Someone in each of the above locations should volunteer to serve as the OGS Chapter President for the first year (2017). The format of the Executive Committee of each chapter shall be President, Vice President and three members. The combined average alumni age shall be 20-25 years. This is to insure that youngsters are also part of the teams.
Once a Chapter President is selected, s/he needs to:
- Create a list of OGs residing in their area
- Invite local OGs to one event within six months of forming the Chapter
- Keep OGS central informed about what the Chapter is doing
The aim of establishing OGS Chapters is for OGs to have a platform to connect with each other. This should not be a bureaucratic exercise; instead, we prefer that local chapters connect and do what makes most sense for their local members. We know from experience that when there is a person or small group with the energy and enthusiasm to bring OGs together, everyone appreciates it.
Aims and Objectives;
- Networking amongst alumni.
- Support to KGS.
- Student support via scholarships, internships and jobs.
- Fundraising for the OGS.
- They need to create a database for their region and share with the central office in Pakistan.
- Recruit KGS graduates to become members of the OGS network.
- Where possible, incorporate the Chapter, register it as a charitable institution and thereby get tax breaks on the donations.
