SWING PHI SWING Social Fellowship, Inc.®
A non-profit organization dedicated to community service, academic excellence and heightening community and cultural consciousness.
The organization's specific purpose is to Support Women In Need of Growth. Support which facilitates the attainment of goals that are necessary for personal and professional growth.
The programmatic thrust of this organization is scholarship assistance and collaboration with other organizations sharing a common interest.
In the year of 1969, at the peak of the Black Power Movement, African Americans were fighting for their rights, claiming their culture and displaying their afro centricity. On April 4, the somber first anniversary of the murder of civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., twelve dynamic women displayed their commitment to the cause. Recruited by the Fellowman of Groove Phi Groove Social Fellowship, Inc. to serve as their sister organization, our beloved Founding Sisters, proud, innovative and determined, stepped out on faith at Winston Salem State University to establish Swing Phi Swing, Social Fellowship Inc ®.
These bold, Afro-centric Sisters "dared to be different" challenged the standard normality of pledging a "Greek lettered sorority", went against the odds and established a unique Social Fellowship. They ignited a flame that would influence thousands of other women across the country to follow in their footsteps. Over the next three decades, their pioneering spirit continues to burn in the hearts of many sisters, transcending the boundaries of geography, social class, complexion and religious affiliation.
Today, SWING is a unique, non-profit organization with over 50 active graduate and undergraduate chapters throughout the USA and a commitment to affecting social change, consciously uplifting women of color and being on the front line in regards to community involvement. We realize that as conscious African American Women, we are an integral part of our communities. We accept our responsibility as Sisters With Interest Never Gone.

Ndada Amuka Kwa Pindua
Chapter History
Sisters Rising for Change
An alumni of Adelphi University, Sister Alexis "MISS POET" Lamont dreamed of bringing to life a SWING chapter on campus. After enduring two and a half years of hard work ,in Fall 2005 that dream was fulfilled.
Five sisters entered SwingLand; thus solidifying the Adelphi University campus with the Ndada Amuka Kwa Pindua Chapter of S.W.I.N.G P.H.I S.W.I.N.G Social Fellowship Incorporated. Since its inception, the Ndada chapter has continue to add to SWING's growing body of dynamic, brilliant, forceful Sisters.
Like most chapters, Ndada has had to fight its way through the over-arching Greek mentality that pervades our university campus. Many have tried so hard to bring us down, but they have only succeeded in pushing us further.
