Otis Collier, Executive Director of Black Greek Network, thanks the "Sprite Step Off" team for their commitment to the Black Greek Lettered Organizations.

Sprite announced that the nine organizations of the National Pan-Hellenic Council have partnered with {Sprite Step Off} to launch the most dynamic multicultural youth event of 2009.
