Hi I’m Eddie Francis the divine nine has produced some of the most influential servant leaders in American history and I’m on a mission to make sure that the divine nine and other black brick letter organizations continue that Legacy of service the black Greek success program helps members of African-American fraternities and sororities become

Better campus and Community leaders by leveraging their unique identities and influence we do that through what I call the three charges of black Greek success make the most of college now learn how to make the gumbo and Lead others by Leading yourself bring me to your campus

For your nphc week your Greek week meet the Greeks or any event where you want your students to get that shot of motivation to lead the way we all know that they can’t you have to figure out and this is my challenge to you what you

Have to figure out is how to get all of these different flavors and all these different ingredients and to give them to all work together when it comes down to the person in the chapter who is spicy who who we thinking about Japanese been going off for 30 minutes

Now you take a look at this look at the agenda and you’ll notice that you are close to the end of the meeting and you’re sitting here going 40 minutes we’re gonna do 40 minutes this is going to be a record we are out of here and

Then all of a sudden excuse me siros I got an issue and I know that y’all know about this issue and I know that there are people in here talking about the issue nobody wants to talk about the issue we can’t engage about the issue oh no we’re gonna walk around

And the next thing you know it all Breaks Loose for like the next 20 to 30 minutes of the chat for me your 40-minute meeting is gone it’s gone an hour and hour five an hour ten an hour twenty all because sorrow Set It Off could not hold it what

If she had not said something y’all would have walked out of that meeting acting like y’all solved the problem that was never even talked about in other words this spicy member of your chapter is keeping the entire chapter honest there’s something bigger and that is the reason you’re all here and that’s College

I’m not about to stand up and act like I was this perfect college student who did everything right uh how many of y’all have heard this joke before there are three types of people who graduate from college there are those who graduate summa loudly they’re those who graduate back

To go louder and then those who graduate thank you I was a thank you Lottery graduate y’all my late mother and I were having a conversation right before my graduation you know because I graduated in my world years right so we were having this conversation

My mother looked at me and she said boy you were doing fine and then that dog are fraternity and I said ma no it was not the fraternity’s fault the fraternities expectations are very clear the fraternity did not tell me it would be a better idea to go out and

Party instead of working on a paper that I knew I had to do but fraternity didn’t tell me to go out drinking instead of doing some reading that I knew I had to do and the fraternity certainly did not tell me to skip class I made those decisions everything was on me because

You know what I got a bunch of Fried Brothers graduating the top of the class and they are working some real nice jobs right now while I’m still trying to get out of here so no it was not the fraternity’s fault what happened in my case is something that

Happens to a lot of college students y’all I did not have a sense of purpose I did have a sense of vision and I didn’t have a sense of personal accountability now in gumbo what do we love and gumbo we love to have our Meats right when it when it comes down

One two two the meat and the gumbo what kind of person in your chapter does that remind you of how about the people in your chapter who whenever there’s an event going on they’re the first to arrive and the last to leave they are unselfish they arrived for the chapter all day and

All night you need a ride they got you party going on nobody likes to work the door at the parties everybody hates the work that I hated working the doors of the party especially when you got a friend who decided that they wanted to road trip from Mississippi Baton Rouge
