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.

Famous quotes containing the word men:

    “When men and women across the country reported how happy they felt, researchers found that jugglers were happier than others. By and large, the more roles, the greater the happiness. Parents were happier than nonparents, and workers were happier than nonworkers. Married people were much happier than unmarried people. Married people were generally at the top of the emotional totem pole.”
    —Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
