GAMMA XI CHAPTERS’ MENTORSHIP PROGRAM, “THE GOLDEN FOLD” ENDS ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR WITH ITS ANNUAL CROSSING THE BAR CEREMONY – JUNE 4, 2019

The Crossing the Bar Ceremony is the capstone event of the Gold Fold Movement as we send off our senior members into adulthood; off to college or wherever their journey may take them. We also incorporate the Gamma Xi Chapter’s James Dixon & Calvin Sears Memorial Scholarship to college bound senior awardees. This year’s theme was “A Stronger Village”.

On this night we celebrated Adulthood, Scholarship, Endurance, and Uplift, which are the calling cards of the young men we will revered during the event. Gamma Xi Chapter awarded a $1,000.00 scholarship to five well deserving college bound students. Family and friends were in attendance and witnessed a riveting speech from the guest speaker Bro. Dr. Corey McCray.

​The Golden Fold's Crossing the Bar ceremony is a conglomerate three influences. This ceremony incorporates Old English literature which points to the roots of the American Dream and value of Freedom. This ceremony includes a West African approach to the African tradition of parents offering their child to the Almighty Creator while blessing the tools of the creator which reside in the youth. The parents of each awardee participated in the ceremony along with their graduating senior.
