started this journey in the fall of 1997 on the campus of about 25 years ago ā¦becoming a part of this noble fraternity has never once left my heart⦠As much as i wanted to stroll on campus in the late 90ās with my guys from alpha xi⦠God had other plans for my life at that time⦠maybe, what i wanted from the fraternity then, may have been selfish and rooted in insecurity and ego⦠nevertheless the foundations of the fraternity, which are built on christianity, brotherhood and achievement continued to pull on meā¦
for a while i struggled with the āwhyā i have always felt so pulled and drawn to ā¦the foundations are so heavy, necessary and still, and yet the intangibles are so loud⦠the swag, elegance, effortlessness and confidence⦠i built a brand based on love, aspiration and the idea of creating product that could help make you the best version of yourself⦠in order for me to remain honest to you, i had to close the loop on continuing to becoming the best version of who i am⦠cheers to the brothers who went on this journey with me and my chapter who will be on this life journey, from now til infinity⦠cheers to my brothers of 20 years plus from alpha xi who stood by me thru this process⦠today, i stand blessed to be in a position to give to the fraternity and am convicted of what i can add to the bond⦠but i remain even more humbled that gift can never compare to whatās been added to me⦠glad i have you ātil we see these golden shores⦠aka ā¦the number 3 has always had a deeper meaning for me fall ā24 ā¦ļøā¦ļøā¦ļø š·
