PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
This post is part of an ongoing pancocojams series about kente cloth graduation stoles.
Kente cloth is a traditional fabric of the Akan people of Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Togo West Africa. The custom in the United States of African Americans wearing kente cloth as stoles during graduation (particularly from universities, but sometimes also from high school and from middle school) is an adaptation of the ways that kente was traditionally worn. Since 2012, it has become customary for many African Americans who are graduating from universities (colleges) to wear a particular design of kente cloth stoles that has a green, gold, red, and black color combination. Because those are the colors for the Pan-African flag, I refer to this kente graduation stole as the "pan-African kente graduation stole".
Members of historically Black Greek letter fraternities or sororities (regardless of their race or ethnicity) may wear customized kente cloth stoles instead of or along with the green, gold, red, and black kente graduation stole. The customized stoles have the two colors that represent that Greek letter organization and also include that organization's name an Greek letters. Graduates who wear the pan-African kente graduation stole and/or their fraternity or sorority's customized kente stole may also wear other academic stoles that they have earned. Much less frequently, kente cloth stoles may be worn by Black graduates in the United States at other levels such as children graduating from elementary school or teenagers graduating from high school.

PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
This post is part of an ongoing pancocojams series about kente cloth graduation stoles.
Kente cloth is a traditional fabric of the Akan people of Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Togo West Africa. The custom in the United States of African Americans wearing kente cloth as stoles during graduation (particularly from universities, but sometimes also from high school and from middle school) is an adaptation of the ways that kente was traditionally worn. Since 2012, it has become customary for many African Americans who are graduating from universities (colleges) to wear a particular design of kente cloth stoles that has a green, gold, red, and black color combination. Because those are the colors for the Pan-African flag, I refer to this kente graduation stole as the "pan-African kente graduation stole".
Members of historically Black Greek letter fraternities or sororities (regardless of their race or ethnicity) may wear customized kente cloth stoles instead of or along with the green, gold, red, and black kente graduation stole. The customized stoles have the two colors that represent that Greek letter organization and also include that organization's name an Greek letters. Graduates who wear the pan-African kente graduation stole and/or their fraternity or sorority's customized kente stole may also wear other academic stoles that they have earned. Much less frequently, kente cloth stoles may be worn by Black graduates in the United States at other levels such as children graduating from elementary school or teenagers graduating from high school.
The green, gold, red, and black pan-African kente cloth graduatation stole seems to be the standard kente graduation stole for African Americans as a whole since at least 2012. It appears to be customary for some members of historically Black Greek letter organizations who are graduating from a university to also wear a customized stole for their fraternity or sorority as well as any academic stole that they have earned in addition to or in place of that pan-African kente graduation stole. The customized fraternity or sorority kente graduation stoles have that organization's two colors, the organization's name, and its three Greek letters (such as Alpha Phi Alpha ΑΦΑ).
I've been watching YouTube videos of historically Black Greek letter organizations searching for examples of kente cloth stoles that are worn by members of those fraternities/sororities. I haven't found any videos that show kente stoles being worn by members of those historically Black Greek letter organizations other than for their university graduation ceremony and their stepping, strolling, hopping, singing performances immediately afterwards.* Prior to around 2010 or 2011 members of historically Black Greek letter organizations wore customized graduation stoles made out of some shiny materials [?] or made out of cloth. Graduation stoles made out of kente cloth began to be seen in those videos from 2010 and 2011** on, although those customized graduation stoles made from other fabrics appear to still be worn by some members of those historically Black Greek organizations (BGLOs).
Starting in 2012, a number of YouTube videos can be found of members of historically Black fraternities/sororities wearing what I refer to as the pan-Affican kente cloth graduation stole starting in 2012.
*If you know of any examples of customized kente stoles being worn by members of historically Black Greek letter organizations other than as graduation stoles, please share that information in this post's comment section below. Thanks!
**The earliest YouTube video that I've found that shows a member of a historically Black fraternity/sorority wearing a customized kente graduation stole is Delta Sigma Theta Sorority (video published August 10, 2010; https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2022/03/some-members-of-delta-sigma-theta.html.
Two other early examples of kente cloth graduation stoles are Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity (video published in May 2011) https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2022/03/some-members-of-phi-beta-sigma.htmland Omega Psi Phi Fraternity (published in June 2011)
