What are guys saying about The Brotherhood (formerly Man Enough)?

QUOTES: In their own words…

• “The Man Enough Support Initiative has provided me with other gentlemen who find difficulties in college. It has made me realize what things I need to improve on to be an overall better person. I’ve been able to meet faculty members who are willing to build relationships with and care about me succeeding in college and after. It’s made me realize that many problems that I face like anxiety are not solely pertaining to me, but to other as well.”
• “My overall experience in MESI was really beneficial towards helping me better understand myself, and when/ who I wish to be as I continually grow as a man. The group fellowship session in which we share our experiences are extremely effective in creating an atmosphere of respect, understanding, and acceptance.
