CAPER National Headquarters Alumni

...from the University of Oklahoma

If you were in CAPERS at the University of Oklahoma, we are glad you found us on the internet.  This site is still being worked on, but we hope you enjoy it!  We hope you enjoy seeing our patch at the top of the page.  Until this picture was found on Photo Bucket, we doubted that one of these still existed.  Most were left on uniforms.  Because we never had a local company (and because we were the first National Headquarters), we get the Headquarters page.  (It's also because when I started this website, I never expected to find anyone but our alumni, but I have.  Linda)

If you were in CAPERS at one of our other headquarters locations (Kansas State University, Auburn University, Appalachian State University, Seton Hall University and St. Peters College), we are thrilled that you are here.  Hopefully, you will be able to help us build the organization history for your era.  If you go to the units page, you'll find the page for your school.  Be sure on leave us your contact information so we will be able to contact you.

Remember the map we had in the office with the location of all of our companies?  There is now a recreation of that map so we can see how what we worked on grew!  OK, so the map is different.
