Groove Phi Groove Social Fellowship, Inc.
Join the Fellowship’s Editorial Network

Thank you for your interest in serving as a Chapter Correspondent for The Sword & Spear, the official publication of Groove Phi Groove Social Fellowship, Inc.

We are building a smaller, highly engaged network of Fellowmen who can be trusted to help us see what is happening across the Fellowship.

Chapter Correspondents serve as trusted local editorial connections between their chapters and The Sword & Spear. They help identify, document, develop, and submit stories that deserve to become part of the Fellowship’s editorial and historical record.

This is a selective working role. Professional journalism experience is not required, but initiative, reliability, communication, curiosity, professionalism, and willingness to learn are essential.

Selected Correspondents will also become part of a developmental editorial network designed to strengthen not only the publication, but the Fellowmen serving within it.

See the work. Develop the story. Preserve the record.
