still wearing thy colors the blue and the white.
As prrof that our fond hearts will cherish
a love which for thee ever shines true and bright
a loyalty that ne'er can perish.....

~ Founded in 1868

~"My home by the sea"; "the commotion by the ocean"

~Home of the NCAA playing, MEAC championship displaying HU PIRATES!!! Rock the BLUE AND THE WHITE!!!

~Home of budding scholars and leaders

~Home of class, dignity, and distinction

~~~~We are Hampton University~~~~

(Now enters the HU band--The FORCE in formation)

Okay, I just went back a moment in time http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif...if you went to an HBCU or attended an HBCU featured game before, then you'll understand http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif!!!!
