GROOVE SPOTLIGHT
**South Carolina State Alumni Chapter Takes Founders Week to the Airwaves**
As the South Carolina State Alumni Chapter (SC-STATE-AC) expands its Founders Day observance into a full Founders Week, the chapter is reflecting on what it truly means to honor our 14 Founders. Service remains at the heart of who we are, but Founders Week is also an opportunity to share our mission with the public, highlight our community impact, and live out the core values that have guided Groove Phi Groove Social Fellowship, Inc. since 1962.
Milestone anniversaries connect our internal work to the broader community. Public perception can sometimes reduce collegiate organizations to simple social clubs. Founders Week is a powerful reminder of our real purpose. SC-STATE-AC intentionally emphasized our charitable outreach, our civil rights legacy, and our high academic standards to show the community the true impact of this Fellowship.
Groove Phi Groove was established to take on real societal challenges. By broadcasting our founding principles, SC-STATE-AC holds itself accountable to the community it serves while demonstrating the value of our scholarship programs, local funding, and strategic partnerships.
**The Media Blitz**
To carry that message across the region, the chapter developed and executed a comprehensive television and radio campaign:
**Friday:** Featured on *On Point with Cynthia Hardy* on WACH FOX 57, a program focused on the key social, political, and economic issues facing South Carolina.
**Sunday:** Extended the message on Cynthia Hardy's live radio broadcast on The Big DM, WWDM 101.3 FM.
**Monday, Founders Day:** Featured in interviews on KISS 103.1 FM with host Johnny Green and on Gospel 105.1 FM.
By reaching diverse audiences and age groups across the region, this campaign ensured maximum community coverage for the chapter's Founders Day observances.
SC-STATE-AC has set a strong example for every chapter in the Fellowship. Honoring our Founders is not only about looking back. It is about telling our story with intention, standing visibly in our communities, and showing the world that Groove Phi Groove is built on purpose.
Congratulations, SC-STATE-AC, on a Founders Week that made the Fellowship proud. Keep Grooving!
