Johnson C. Smith University News October 2019 Omega Psi Phi Fraternity gives $10,000 to JCSU Pi Phi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., presented a $10,000 check to Clarence D. Armbrister, President of Johnson C. Smith University, on September 12, 2019. The contribution will support the President's Gap Scholarship Fund, which provides funds for students to close the gap between the financial aid they receive and the cost of tuition. Perry Caudle Jr., President of Pi Phi Chapter, said the donation was made because chapter members know the importance of HBCUs. "We have members from just about every HBCU in the country, but as Charlotte residents, we recognize our responsibility to the growth and development of our community," said Caudle. "Johnson C. Smith University has an important role in the lives of so many young adults who contribute to making Charlotte one of the best cities in the nation. Members of Pi Phi Chapter consider JCSU to be 'our HBCU' and challenge all members of Black Greek Letter Organizations as well as all Charlotteans to do the same." SANDRA M.
