      Dedication

      To my family and friends who were there for me and supported me throughout this new journey, thank you. To my best friends and college experience that gave me inspiration to put my story on paper, I dedicate this to you. To the young men who are struggling with anything in their lives, this is for you. I dedicate this book to all the young black men who have dreams; the young black man who firmly believes that anything is possible, this is for you, my brothers.

      Thank you. Without your support and patience, I would have never achieved my dream.

      Oh Nu Nu Psi

      Through hills of torment and skies of dark

      Stands Love and passion close lands apart

      None high, none lows can bring us down

      Stands Nu Nu Psi

      The greatest sound

      We fight, we fight to strive for more

      Dear Nu Nu Psi

      Our fraternity we sore

      With brotherhood, citizenship and power we seek

      Flows Nu Nu Psi

      The Blood in me

      Introduction

      Parents want things from their children: getting good grades, graduating from High school and going to best college. Our parents motivate us to do our best in whatever we want to accomplish I life, that college is very necessary and that it is a step to fulfilling one goal prior to entering the work force. The expression of love motivates to go out and do things. Love introduces us to the truth that drive’s us to be better.

      We go to college with the perception that it’s going to be the experience of lifetime and it is but we also learn that college is hard work and dedication. We enter with the intentions of meeting lifetime friends and having fun. I went in with the same intentions and came out thinking differently. Jacob returns back to finish is freshman year thinking that it will be fun and excitement but if you went to a HBCU like I did, you know that with fun and excitement comes drama with controversy.

      Follow the story of Jacob Simmons as he goes through trials and tribulations in college life while joining a fraternity that accepts him for him while trying to maintain old friends and drama. I relate to the character of Jacob Simmons as he takes on similar events of college experience. When you read this book, take something away from it positive. If you can help someone who’s going through abuse, drugs addiction or sexual assault helps them. Always be the one to help out no matter what. I regret not helping when I could.

      Chapter 1: The Invitation

      It was about 8:58 pm when my bruh, Zaveon, and I were waiting for my roommate, Tyrone, to come pick us up from Monicon Hall. It was raining all day on campus and I had a lot of shit on my mind. My grades were slipping and I needed to get this gwap for the membership application for Nu Nu Psi. My nigga Tyrone said he was going to let me borrow the $250.00 for my application. I wasn’t worried about the membership money into Nu Nu Psi because I was getting a refund check next week. The Nu Nu Psi brothers sent an email out to all of the candidates who attended the Interest Meeting.

      I just got my email today and it couldn’t have come at a worst time. The bruhs of Nu
