Tighter Grip
In 2002, Tighter Grip was created to increase the recruitment and retention of African-American males at Georgia State University. The members work to form a brotherhood, in which each individual member is responsible for ensuring the success of all other members. In order to create a dynamic and lasting experience for the members, Tighter Grip works to develop its members both academically and socially. Since its inception, Tighter Grip has experienced exponential growth in membership, resources, and success stories.
