"I came out to support my friends that are in the fraternities and the ones that want to cross over. We go every year to supportthem," said Shearer Williams, a junior industrial engineering major.
After Jordan performed, the step teams from Phi Beta Sigma started off with a Montel Jordan song, the Zeta Gammas of Alpha Kappa Alpha performed their version of Flavor of Love Charm School and singer Keedren Boston performed two songs, followed by Phi Beta Sigma's GOMAD step team.
Boston, a senior horticulture major, was happy to be able to perform on stage again.
"I am singing a couple songs that I wrote: 'I Wont Go For It' and the other is 'Holla at Cha,' which I performed last year at Alphapalooza. As far as my experience, I love music and I love doing stuff like this." Boston said.
"I am a student at A&M, so when I get my free time this is what I like to do. I am trying to finish school first before I pursue any music career. In the mean time, this is what gives me something to do for experience. I enjoy it and I enjoy entertainment. What I really want out of this is to just have fun."
Jakes was happy to be able to continue the tradition of Alphapalooza.
The proceeds will benefit the future of Go to High School, Go to College program. In December the alumni chapter of Delta Sigma Theta and Alpha Phi Alpha will provide Breakfast with Santa, where they will have breakfast, entertainment, fun and gifts for the underprivileged children in the Bryan-College Station area.
"Anything we do [the proceeds] go right back to fund our programs," Jakes said.
