I know what you’re thinking, who is “The Rat Pack?” This Rat Pack is a group of young black males that pay homage to the Original Rat Pack by exhibiting a similar camaraderie that they once made famous. Consisting of 18 well-rounded North Carolina A&T State University graduates, the Rat Pack is a very distinct group. We continue to stay in contact in our post-grad careers despite our geographical differences (New York City, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami, D.C., Maryland & VA.) Through our constant communication we continue to carry on the things we did in college such as debate, discuss the lifestyles we live and are striving for, orient each other on personal interests, and support each others dreams. It’s the Rat Pack!
