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......

Not only a boy's story...but we get to hear more about an NPHC journey to membership which should be very educational (at least for me!). So, YEAH for more retro recruitment stories!

How do you all know this stuff?
I had to google to understand.
Did you know that "Lexington Steele" was a member of Omega Psi Phi? It says so on Wikipedia so it must be true.

Are you speaking specifically to the OP or to those of us who are laughing like loons over his choice of names?
For me, I'd heard of some of the names from a friend that runs his own adult store & I've been there a few times to visit. The rest I figured were in the same business so I looked up those names to be sure.

No I just meant everybody who "got it" at first glance. I should have considered them more closely, I realize now.

I heard there are a couple with various affiliations, but not heard any solid confirmation. *shrug* Wiki, although good, can be edited by anyone.

 definitely not your standard rush story i take it (though the reactions such a remark would get in an NPC thread would totally be worth seeing). this has brought much needed hilarity to my day. please give us more

Because I'd rather not have a traumatic google experience, I'll just ask. What are the names based on?
