Rho Nu Continues to Award Excellence

by Bro. Jerome Davis

Galveston, TX (PN) -The Rho Nu Chapter Thomas H. Warren Scholarship recognizes academic excellence, leadership and service to the community. These qualities are what Rho Nu feels a student should exhibit in accordance with our fraternity's cardinal principles of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, and Uplift. The scholarship is named in honor of Bro. Thomas H. Warren who was a founding member of the Rho Nu Chapter in Galveston, Texas. Bro. Warren was initiated at Fisk University in 1926.

The 2007 Thomas H. Warren Scholarship was presented to Mr. Michael Brown of Galveston Ball High School. Mr. Brown's academic achievements placed him at the top of his class where he was ranked 12 out of 533 graduating seniors. He is a member of the National Honor Society, President of the National Technical Honor Society at Galveston Ball High School, and was Vice-President of the 2007 Senior Class.. He will be attending Texas A&M University in the fall of 2007 where he will major in Engineering.
