About Brother 2 Brother
Brother 2 Brother (B2B) at Georgia Highlands College is a chapter of SAAB, a national organization formerly known as Student African American Brotherhood. B2B provides mentorship and guidance to ensure students have the support needed to realize and actualize their fullest potential and to excel academically, socially, and professionally. The group is open to all students and does not discriminate or limit membership based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion.
Being part of this successful national organization has positively influenced minority students at GHC, and our chapter has grown quickly. B2B at Georgia Highlands College started with 7 students in 2008, and now we have 120 students on 5 campus sites. The B2B Chapter at Georgia Highlands College has won Chapter of the Year nationally 3 times.
Brother 2 Brother Affirmation
In order to empower ourselves and promote a positive peer community, we the members of Brother 2 Brother embrace the principles of accountability, proactive leadership, self-discipline, and intellectual development. Through our beliefs and convictions, we uphold this mission at all times.
Structure of Student Organization
B2B meets weekly at all five GHC campuses. Each campus chapter has its own set of officers and its own agendas. All five groups meet together periodically though the year. Faculty and staff advisors are there to guide them, to teach leadership skills, and serve as mentors—but the students run the B2B agendas.
