Congratulations are in order to our very own brothers who began their next step of life on May 8th, 2026. Proud is an understatement in regards to the success that they have displayed and the constant action of holding high the name for not just themselves but Beta Upsilon as a whole. Their achievements is a testament to their hard work and for that the 63rd house is extremely proud 🤙🏾 .

Miss Collegiate 100 2024 - 2025
Miss Black and Gold 2025 - 2026
To Collegiate 100,
Thank you for giving me the space to serve and gain family. Within this organization, I have realized the power I hold.
To the 63rd House of Alpha,
Thank you for letting represent this mighty chapter and embracing me as family. Within this serve, I started to let my power show.
And to my escort, my JaydePooh,
Campus royalty is where it all started for us. We met when we were elected Mister and Miss Collegiate 100 in 2024. A year later, you were initiated as an Alpha man and I became Miss Black and Gold. Just two good friends, always together. I thank God for these titles, because staying connected through them is literally what led us to discover our love. My constant support, my forever escort. ❤️
We Graduate…
To the 63rd House…
Thank you for accepting me into the PHold. Setting the standard and showing me exactly what it means to be an ALPHA man. The lessons, the hardships, the unconditional love will forever remain with me no matter where life takes me. Thank you for trusting me with the blueprint and allowing me the space to grow into who I am today! Y’all trusted us to carry the torch and led us in the right direction always. There were ups and downs all across the board but WE still maintained and stood firm. i’m forever grateful fa y’all boys for guiding us to the LIGHT.
To 16F.A.S.H.O…
My brothers…I could go on for days about how much y’all mean to me. They say you want to go fast go by yourself, but if you want to go far, go together. I’m grateful we entered the PHold together as brothers. Y’all boys know i’m not the emotional type but I love each of you with every fiber in my body. Through EVERYTHING we’ve endured, we NEVER stopped moving, NEVER lost sight of who we were, and ALWAYS remained brothers to each other. I may talk s**t but yall know there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for y’all, no matter what it is. I’ve become a better man because of y’all boys. I will forever cherish our moments. Through the lessons, laughs, long nights, and the endless memories…I wouldn’t trade it all for nothing.
Jay Stew behind ya right or wrong! It’s a pleasure to call you boys my brothers…
To 12S.T.R.I.K.E.R.S…
My boys…Thank you for trusting me to guide you boys to the other side. Being able to witness to your transition firsthand was a pleasure. The grit that you all show daily and the way y’all demonstrate what it means to be real men is amazing to see. Y’all have the blueprint and I pray that I have left a lasting impact on each of you and that you boys continue to hold high the name. I hope I’ve been a source of inspiration to y’all because y’all have definitely been to me. You all reminded me of who I strive to be in this life. ADP loves each of you dearly and y’all know i’m always a phone call away. I can walk the stage comfortably knowing the OOP is in good hands…it’s your time now!
With Love Always,
Signing Out…

College days swiftly pass. ……………………………………………………………………………………………To the Beta Upsilon chapter: My father set me on this path when he crossed Beta Upsilon almost 30yrs ago. I’m forever grateful for the memories and people you have allowed me to experience. ………………………………………………………………………………To Spring 24, 11 SOARS: When I came into the chapter y’all welcomed me with open arms. Y’all guided me an my line brothers and I became a better and more diverse leader. ……………………………………………………………………………….To Spring 25, 16 FASHO: We have been together for a little of a year but I don’t know how I lived my life before meeting y’all. I am a better brother because of y’all. Each and everyone one of you have influenced me for the better. The test of a man is me knowing that in a few weeks time I won’t be able to see you all daily. I’m going to miss y’all so much from our petty arguments to our accomplishments. There is no one else I would want to call line brothers. LL 16 FASHO. …………………………………………………………………………………..To Spring 26, 12 STRIKERS: I pray that I was able to lay a solid foundation for y’all. I’m so proud of y’all. Welcome to Alpha land, but please find and keep a balance. You can party, and study but find a balance. You can be a leader and a server, but find a balance. I love you all remember to keep marching onward and upward toward the light. 📸 photo credit: @juspicturethis 🎬 creative director: @gallerydeburnew #bamastategrad26
