This website will introduce you to who we are as an International Organization, and who we are as a local chapter. This website will explain the meaning of GROOVE, the meaning of our PHI, and the meaning of GyeNyame (GineYahMay). In this website we will familiarize you with our mission and purpose.

 While all of us know that Groove Phi Groove Social Fellowship Inc. ® was founded at  Morgan State University, the "Mother Bear," few of us are aware of the details  surrounding that time period back in 1962. For instance, one could fairly conclude that  there are actually 17 founders and not the 14 we learn about during our pledge period.  The following chronological record which describes the birth of Groove Phi Groove Social  Fellowship Inc. ® was compiled by Founders Nathaniel Parham and Barry Hampton over  15 years ago. Learning more about our history will serve to strengthen our foundation as  we stride into the future.
