Until We Link Up

About The Reunion

The Vibe: Grown & Thriving.

Ten years ago, we crossed the stage as the Class of 2016. Since then, life has taken each of us in different directions—building careers, pursuing graduate degrees, starting businesses, serving our communities, raising families, and discovering who we've become.

This reunion is an opportunity to return to the place where so many of those journeys began. It's a chance to reconnect with classmates, revisit the campus that shaped us, and celebrate the experiences that continue to unite us.

Whether you've stayed close or haven't been back in years, we hope you'll join us as we come home to Winston-Salem State for a weekend of fellowship, celebration, and Ram Pride.

Welcome home, Ramily.

Why It Matters

Not everyone gets a chance to finish what they started. Let's make it a few dollars easier.

Even after financial aid, HBCU students face an unmet gap of $4,000–$8,000 per year — not because they aren't capable, but because the money runs out before the degree does. For many students, financial barriers — not academics — stand in the way of earning their diplomas.

At WSSU right now, approximately 85% of students receive some form of financial aid and 75% rely on a federal Pell Grant to get through the door. But grants and loans don't always cover everything. And when they don't, students make impossible choices.

54% of HBCU students report unmet financial needs — compared to 41% nationally. That gap is the difference between a diploma and a dropout.

HBCUs make up just 3% of all colleges and universities, yet produce 27% of African American students with bachelor's degrees in STEM fields. The work we do here matters beyond Winston-Salem.

Your $100 goes to a Ram who is one semester away from graduating and one bill away from stopping. It goes to the student whose aid package fell short, whose family hit a hard year, whose account balance is standing between them and registration. It goes to the next class of Rams who deserve to walk across that stage the same way we did.

In Memoriam

Gone But Never Forgotten

In honor of the places and experiences that contributed to an iconic era.

Every era has its sacred spots. The places where the memories were made, the bonds were built, and the stories happened that we still tell at family dinners. Some of them are gone now — torn down, closed up, or changed forever. But if you were there, you know. And we will never forget.

🪦 Tier 1 — Gone But Never Forgotten

Rest easy to our fallen legends.

🍔

The Ram Shack

200 people. 200 square feet. Zero personal space. Zero regrets.

Late night hunger had one answer and one answer only. The line wrapped around the building, the smell hit you from the breezeway, and somehow it was always worth the wait. The Ram Shack wasn't just food — it was fellowship all day, every day. No DoorDash. No Uber Eats. If you didn't want Wingzone or pizza, the Ram Shack always had your back.

🐰

Brown Bunnies

They didn't live there. But every RA knew their name.

No room and board. No business frequenting. Just somewhere between the homie and the sneaky link. Before it went co-ed, Brown was its own world with its own man-made rules. Students today have no idea. 😂

🎉

The Barn

Wake Forest hated to see us coming. We loved every second of it.

Our partner in party. The Barn held us down for some of the most legendary nights of our college careers. If those walls could talk, we'd all need lawyers. RIP to the greatest venue we never owned but always claimed.

👠

Mozik

The original WSSU modeling troupe. They walked so Epiphany could stride.

Mozik set the standard for excellence, artistry, and representation on our campus. We honor the legacy they built and the doors they opened. No shade. No tea. Just facts.

🏚️

Dillard Hall

Freshman year. First home to many. Forever remembered.

They tore down the bricks but they couldn't touch the memories buried beneath them. Dillard Hall was where it all started for so many women — first friendships, first roommates, first taste of freedom. For many of us, it's where it all began. Rest well, Dillard.

🏥 Tier 2 — In A Coma

Not dead. Just resting. We're praying for a full recovery.

🎭

Club KR

(KR Williams Auditorium)

If it wasn't on the yard or at the Pit — it happened in KR. Club KR was the heartbeat of campus culture. The energy in that room on a packed night was unmatched. Undefeated. Unreplaceable.

We hear it's been in a coma for a while. But don't count it out — Club KR will be live on. 🤞🏾

🙌🏾 Tier 3 — Resurrected

A New, Highly Anticipated Era

🔺

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Back like they never left

The D9 is whole again after a historic return to the yard this past Spring.

We want to congratulate the women of our era who, despite the draught, earned their membership through graduate chapters across the country and will celebrate this full circle homecoming in crimson and cream!

Welcome back, DST!

The yard we knew and the yard they know are two different places. Both are beautiful.
