It’s also helped me when it comes to my corporate life, networking, and how to be more of a man. One of the biggest things we say is to be strong. It’s a reminder to push through and see things through. This standard really resonates with Alpha Nu to be the best you can be in everything you do.”

“One of my proudest moments as a member has been this past year,” Greer said. “We won chapter of the year which is a pretty big accomplishment, of course, and even in a pandemic. We were still able to accomplish the goals set forth for ourselves, community and classroom. We were recognized by our fraternity for our achievements. The second proudest moment for me was participating in the step show because it was something I never thought I would do. It really made me step outside of my comfort zone.”

Black History Month is a month to reflect on the trials and tribulations of African-Americans, but it is also a time for people to rejoice about the persistence of the race.
