HISTORY

    

In 1971, on the campus of Fayetteville State University, The Harambee Chapter of Swing Phi Swing Social Fellowship, Inc. ® was established by nineteen young ladies.  In the fall of 1990, the Harambee Graduate Chapter was recognized. The Chapter was and still is determined to build partnerships and affect positive change within the community. We are dedicated to community service, academic excellence, and cultural consciousness.

​

Over the years our chapter has worked with and supported the following: Second Harvest Food Bank of Southeastern North Carolina, Child Advocacy Center, CARE Family Domestic Violence Center, American Heart Association, Cumberland County Public Schools, and Fayetteville State University. After piloting the Swing Phi Swing, Social Fellowship Inc. ® National Ebony Pearl Mentoring and Scholarship program in 2000, the Chapter has mentored middle and high school young ladies for more than eighteen years. We have awarded more than $16,000 in scholarships to graduating high school seniors that have been accepted and enrolled in a 2 or 4-year college or university.
