Abstract
Presidents of Black Greek Letter fraternities at predominatly White institiutions are a rare breed who constantly live under multidimensional pressure to succeed. And their difficult dedication to fraternal, instituitonal, and personal expectations was only heightened when COVID-19 first closed and then reconfigured college campuses over the last year. Ther experiences prove congruent around several themes- fraternal unity, community service, prioritizing family, and self- investment that illuminate key areas for potential partnership and support of these students and the chapters they love. With simple effort understanding, caring and compassionate student affairs professionals can truly make a difference for this population.
