What I Wish I Knew About My Black Fraternity: Lessons and Reflections from Over 30 Years of Membership

Fraternity life is more than step shows, parties, and letters on a shirt. It’s mentorship, growth, and lifelong brotherhood. In this powerful e-book, The Honorable Anthony Reeves—judge, attorney, content creator, and proud Alpha Phi Alpha brother—shares the stories and lessons he wishes he had known as a young man stepping into the bond.

Drawing from over three decades of experience in the Divine Nine, Reeves takes you on a journey through:

• His early days as a nervous undergraduate learning the meaning of brotherhood through small acts of sacrifice.
• Struggles with confidence as a new graduate brother—and the lessons about showing up even when you feel out of place.
• Leadership challenges as a Step Master, learning to guide strong personalities with courage and consistency.
• The life-changing generosity of fraternity brothers who opened doors and offered mentorship when he needed it most.
• Cross-Greek support from sorors and Divine Nine members who helped him grow as a lawyer, entrepreneur, and leader.
• The pivotal “make-or-break” moment that redefined what “membership has its privileges” truly meant.

This is more than a memoir—it’s a guide for anyone in a fraternity, sorority, or community organization who wants to understand how to make the most of their membership.
