BGLOs Showing up and Showing Out!

At the 1911 Initiative, we share a deep commitment to community—one that aligns powerfully with the legacy of Black Greek Letter Organizations (BGLOs). We salute each of you for your continued dedication to service, scholarship, and uplifting our people.
BGLOs have long been the backbone of HBCUs and campus life across the country. In times when Black students had few places to gather, grow, and lead, your organizations lit the path—and continue to lead the way today.
To honor that legacy, we’re offering a special opportunity at our 2nd Annual 1911 Initiative 5K Scholarship Run/Walk. This year, you can run (or walk!) in style by repping your organization’s colors on race day.
Here’s How It Works:
Register as usual for the 5K.
Select your team name that reflects your org and colors (i.e. Blue and White Team, Purple and Gold Team, etc).
Once your team hits 50 registered participants, you’ll receive our signature race shirt in your org’s colors.
If your team has fewer than 50, you’ll still receive our standard race shirt.
So round up your ships, Sorors, and Frat brothers—and let’s make this a celebration of unity, legacy, and purpose.
We’ll see you when you “Go Over” that finish line.
