I went to a HBCU and loved it. I received a scholarship from the local alumni chapter for the whole time i was there. I have just started going back recently because they were very generous to me and we must start giving back to our schools if we want them to survive. I am also a paying life member (wanna be finished by this year) I email at least 10 ppl that live here and are alumni to come to our meetings but no one ever does. I don't get it. Local dues are $ 25 for the year!
If we don't support our HBCU's then how can we expect others to do so? Every little bit helps so to those out there who support with your time, $ or talents Thanks! To those on the fence, c'mon it can be fun! We need you! And to those who say I don't have the $, give your time if there is a local chapter that has programs. We like warm bodies just as well. My local chapter is made up of a lot of older folks (c/o of 50-64's) so they need the young blood. I have already been told that I will be the new secretary by the old secretary (always get that position in every thing i belong to past and present). But go and help, i am sure they won't turn you down (for local alumni chapters).
