Sp99 Divine 9 Fund

Spring ‘99 Spirit of Excellence” Scholarship is a merit-based award given by the Spring 1999 Lines of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. (Beta Sigma Chapter), Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. (Beta Psi Chapter), Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. (Alpha Sigma Chapter), Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. (Beta Sigma Chapter), and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. (Rho Chapter) at Southern University and A&M College. The Spring ‘99 Spirit of Excellence Scholarship Fund was established to memorialize and celebrate the camaraderie, leadership, service, and academic excellence that existed among and within the Spring 1999 Lines of the Greek-letter organizations at Southern University and A&M College.

The ‘99 bond is unmatched; and, it is evident at every homecoming; particularly during milestone homecomings when the majority from each line gathers to celebrate crossing anniversaries to be a leader in the classroom, on campus, and in the larger community. Scholarship recipients understand the collective responsibility of Divine 9 Organizations to the community and use that understanding to foster a positive and collaborative environment among those who exist on campus.

Thus, it was only fitting that during the 25th homecoming celebration, in October 2024, the collective decided to come together also in the spirit of giving back and recognizing excellence of their current chapter members. As such the scholarship was established. Scholarship recipients will be current chapter members of Alpha, AKA, Kappa, Omega, and Sigma at Southern University.
