When I started college at Central Michigan University in 1984, I knew nothing about Black Greek organizations. I was assigned a minority mentor Jeffrey Malloy, who was a member of Phi Beta Sigma. He did an excellent job of mentoring me as a young African-American male at a school with only 300 Blacks out of 16,000 students. At no time did he ask me to pledge; he led by example. The Sigmas where the most active in the community and the biggest BGLO. I would hang around him and was always impressed with his friends, who happen to be Sigmas. The chapter had brothers in the business, engineering, education, and math departments. The president of the Black Student Organization, Panhell, and Campus Choir were Sigmas. The star athletes on the football, basketball, and track teams were Sigmas. The campus leaders were Sigmas men. The “best??? steppers were Sigmas. When I would go to campus events the entire chapter, with their little sisters and Zetas, would enter these events together as a group in suits, which was impressive. There were 17 brothers on the yard, 30+ sweethearts and loves, and 10 Zetas, and Lambda Gamma chapter was only 5-years old. (See Lambda Gamma Chapter – 29 years and Counting)
