Year One:
I arrived at St. Wilona's College (a prominent Jesuit college in a major urban area) in the Fall of 1997. Mr. Marcus held a special place in my heart because of their "reach-out-and-touch-everyone" approach to community service. Indeed, Mr. Marcus touched me in places I had never been touched before.
I participated in a Rites of Passage Program that one of the members sponsored, and it really prepared me for the challenges I would face as a black man at St. Wilona's.
Because of this camaraderie with my friend in charge of the program, as well as his line brothers and chapter brothers, I just KNEW I wanted to be down with Mr. Marcus!
Well..... my freshman year at St. Wilona's was eye opening. Although there was a city-wide chapter of Mr. Marcus, there were no members on campus. There was one member of Brian Pumper.... that's it. There were no members of Wesley Pipes, Mandingo, or Lexington Steele!
So I started my quest in a vacuum, with no basis for comparison.
So, I went full speed ahead in my quest for Mr. Marcus......
