Ebony Alpha Ebony; NCCU’s newest social fellowship ~ By Frieda M. Jordan A new service organization has been formed on campus- Ebony Alpha Ebony. Its purpose is to promote leadership and brotherhood and to serve and benefit the university com munity at home and abroad, according to George Jackson, president of the organization. There are no other chapters on other campuses, but the members have visited Shaw University, Winston Salem State, and North Carolina A&T. Males on these campuses have shown interest in joining. Though Eboriy Alpha Ebony is now an all male organization, composed only of freshman, it has no objections to females becoming a part of its group. The group plans to form a sister organization called Ebony Angels that will have the same pur pose and goals. Ebony Angels will not be a sweetheart group, but will serve as a helping hand in the functions of Ebony Alpha Ebony. “One night some close friends and I were discussing cam pus issues, and we decided that these issues were not being taken care of. The problems stemmed from a brotherly aspect, not a social one. We came together and came up with EAE, thus getting the organization started,” said George Jackson. “We wrote our constitution, took it to Dr. Bryant, (assistant dean of student affairs): it was signed on Dec. 10, 1980 and cleared through his office on January 24, 1981.” Jackson said their organization poses no threat to frater nities. “Frats have their place and service organizations have theirs.” A future project of the group is to help Robert Smith of food services and Dr. Bryant start a Durham chapter of Big Brothers. The group is currently connected with Hot Line and Durham volunteer services. They are also involved in beautification projects on campus. The organization is holding a relaxed induction. To qualify as a member one must acquire 12 hours, be in good standing with the university, and have a 2.2 grade point average. Members of EAE are: George Jackson, president: Greogory Johnson, vice president: Vernon Smith, secretary: Woodrow Scott, treasurer: Lerory Milam, sargent of arms: James Webb, chairman of civic affairs: Kermot Bailey: membership chairman: Michael Arnold, chaplain: John Bullock, and Vada Whitaker.
