Black Greek groups honored for service and mentorship in Rochester
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Friday, U-Prep Charter School hosted a special luncheon honoring the presidents and immediate past presidents at Divine Nine and National Pen-Hellenic Council Organizations.
University Preparatory is a charter school for young men and the luncheon recognizes Black Greek leadership in fraternities and sororities, as well as their service and commitment.
'All of the organizations have components of mentorship, service and really just uplifting the community of Rochester and as you all know, we need that,' U-Prep Chief Operations & Chief Finance Officer Dr. Cam Lewis said. 'So, we're all doing the same work, it's not a competition, it's really about doing the work of your chapter and working together to do some bigger productions.'
We do a lot of work and often we do the work and you don't really think about what you're doing because you're just here to serve the community,' Kimberly Brown said. 'So, to know that people notice and that it's not just thankless work, it is very encouraging and motivating.'
Attendees were honored with a commemorative book, a chef-prepared brunch and special gifts to show appreciation.
