Travenna State University

"Chapter 1: The Invitation".

"It was about 8:58 pm when my bruh, Zaveon, and I were waiting for my roommate, Tyrone, to come pick us up from Monicon Hall. It was raining all day on campus and I had a lot of shit on my mind. My grades were slipping and I needed to get this gwap for the membership application for Nu Nu Psi. My nigga Tyrone said he was going to let me borrow the $250.00 for my application. I wasn't worried about the membership money into Nu Nu Psi because I was getting a refund check next week. The Nu Nu Psi brothers sent an email out to all of the candidates who attended the Interest Meeting.

"I just got my email today and it couldn't have come at a worst time. The bruhs of Nu Nu Psi were the most secretive fraternity dudes on campus. They would have informational meetings whenever they want, functions for their favorites on campus and they would even scoot out who they wanted to take under their wings as big brothers. My father pledged Beta chapter when he attended Travenna State University located in Goose Creek, South Carolina. He would always take me to alumni functions with him when I was a little boy. The Blue and Yellow he would yell when he and his Nu Psi brothers got together. My bruh aka Best friend, Zaveon, and I always knew that we would be Nu Psi men. His father also was a member of Nu Nu Psi.

My father and Mr. Michaels, Zaveon's father, would always tell us that there is no greater bond than brotherhood.

""That's my duce!" My father always said while griping Mr. Michael. "Y'all will learn the grip and the call when y'all go off to college." He would tell Zaveon and I. I knew after high school I wanted to be a Red Bear at Travenna State University. I got accepted on a Friday afternoon. I stayed home waiting for the letter. I just knew I would have become a Red Bear.

The next day in class, I walked up to my bruh Zaveon, "Yoooooo yoooo I got in TSU." Zaveon replied, "Yo my nigga me too.".

"A Legacy member is the child, sibling or grandchild (or in some cases other relative) of an initiated fraternity or sorority member. Zaveon's older sister Ashley attended TSU so it was a big part of his family's legacy. Ashley was a sophomore at the time and she was on line for Alpha Psi Psi. I can remember going to TSU with Zaveon to send care packages to his sister. She would always say, "leave the package at the door, or if you bring it in don't give it directly to me." At the time we thought she was trippin' and acting weird, as shit, but now we know that it was a part of her pledge process. When girls are on line for Alpha Psi Psi, they are not allowed talk to guys, walk on grass nor eat, drink or wear anything Black or Pink. The girls who went against those rules usually got paid for it and I don't mean money. It was too bad that Nu Nu Psi was even worst and we paid the ultimate price.."
