Power, Pride, and Possibility: The HBCU Greek & Business Mixer Returns
During DAFITC week, the HBCU Greek & Business Mixer brought together a room that felt different.
Not just energy.
Not just culture.
Alignment.
This is where:
- HBCU excellence showed up strong
- Greek legacy was on full display
- Builders, founders, government leaders and professionals connected with intention
Why It Hit Different
Because it happened during DAFITC, when top tech and decision-makers are already in the city.
And instead of watching from the outside…we built our own room.
What Happened Inside
Real conversations.
Real connections.
Real opportunities.
Not surface-level networking…movement.
Now Build With Us
Rooms like this don’t happen by accident.
They’re built.
The Level Up Campaign
The Alabama Collective extends a special thank you to the NUPES, who are the winners of our inaugural Divine 9 Fundraising Competition raising just over $3000 in support of the work we are doing for our students in Alabama!
After the event, we received tons of requests to keep the ball rolling! If this experience meant something to you or if you want to recruit others to donate on behalf of your organization, below are the QR codes for each organization!
