"It all started almost 20 years ago when we were all randomly assigned as freshmen to Livingston College, House 11. It was here that we not only forged a friendship that would transcend decades, but we built a family affectionately known as the #QuadSquad. We literally met on the first day of freshman orientation and have been together ever since.

 Over the years, we have had many great memories, ranging from hanging out at midnight breakfast after all-nighters, studying for exams, hosting legendary parties at Rockoff Hall, and leading social justice events with the Black Student Union. Not only did we have a great time with one another, but we continuously pushed each other to do our best. With many of us being first-generation college students, we knew how important it was to not only start college together but to finish strong as well. 

Because of this, we all finished in four years while succeeding academically. This experience has since propelled us to excel in our respective fields, including Education, Social Work, Program Management, Real-Estate, Medical and Law. Outside of school, we have also been there for one another as we have engaged in various life events, from marriages, the birth of children, additional graduations and even the death of one of our own. Although in different parts of the country, we make it a point to travel to see each other every few months and a yearly pilgrimage back to the Banks for homecoming."
