Student Social Organizations at The College of Wooster - Men of Harambee

Men of Harambee

• Name change from what was originally VIII Section
• Though the group did not start out as a minority-based group, in 1969, with a dwindling membership, the group took ten African-American pledges, and over time became the Men of Harambee. It is unknown if the group still practices the traditions of the VIII section it was created from. There is no evidence that they do. They do hold a formal pledge period just as the other Greek groups do but are not subject to the same college policies.
• Housing: 2012-2013 Bryan House.
• Originally called itself a "fraternal order", but as of the 2012-2013 The Men of Harambee now identify themselves as a Fraternity, though the group is not part of Greek Life or the Inter-Greek Council. They do, however, fall under the Committee for Selective Organizations and do follow their policies for selective organizations.
