Brief History
The Collegiate 100 is an auxiliary organization existing on college campuses nationwide directly related to, and in turn shares the ideas and views of, the 100 Black Men of America. The goal of this organization is to assist 100 Black Men with its education, empowerment, and enrichment mission.

The Collegiate 100 was created at Prairie View A&M University in Texas in 1993 by Frederick V. Roberts, then director of Student Activities. The original group included male and female students who provided leadership and mentoring for the students at the university. Roberts, being a charter member of the newly recognized Metropolitan Houston Chapter, Inc. (June 1994) of the 100 Black Men of America, Inc. presented the idea to seek affiliation with the national organization. The chapter, led by Attorney Benjamin Pigott, accepted the proposal and presented the request to the Board of Directors of the 100 at its December 1994 Leadership Board Meeting.

The proposal was unanimously adopted as part of the organization's Program Success and thus began the national launch of the Collegiate 100.

Some of the first members of the Collegiate 100 at PVAMU were Robert Brown, Horace Bussey, Kevin Bussey, Lelar Corbett, Loretta Davis, Jason Jefferson, Kristi Kendrick, Christina Johnson, Marcus Lane, Derrick Ross, Charles Sloan, Devyon Smith, Michael Smith and Donna Tomlinson.

The Collegiate 100 was reactivated at Prairie View A&M University on March 10, 2011 with the following members: Travis C. Reed (President), Dymonique J. Burton (Vice President), Ross Hampton (Vice President Programs), Christopher J. Shelton (Secretary), Patrick Gray (Treasurer), Dominique R.
