Welcome to A&W Greek Shop, where black excellence and the ingenuity of strong women is rooted in foundations of empowerment, unity, and tradition. Founded in 1996 by the visionary Susie Hall-Stover, a proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., our shop began with a profound mission: to provide affordable, high-quality Greek apparel for Black sororities and fraternities.

Susie's inspiration stemmed not just from her sorority's ideals but also from her deep family roots in civil rights history, being the daughter of David Hall, the esteemed owner of an 80-acre farm that he volunteered for use as Campsite One on the Historic 1965 Selma to Montgomery Voting Rights March.

Susie's legacy

Susie's legacy is a tapestry of family and dedication to her sorority Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. Starting A&W Greek Shop in 1996, Susie pulled her family together on a journey of hard work, great fun and generational inheritance.  From its inception, A&W Greek Shop was operated by a team of dynamic women.  It included Susie's sister Dorothy Hall-McAlpine (deceased), also a member of Zeta Phi Beta, her daughter Velda Stover Kennedy, a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., her grand-daughter Tracie Coleman, also a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., our collaborating artist Carolyn McGlown, our design consultant Jewell Todd-Terrell, a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc, and our retail store manager, Monica Eubanks. Together, these women have woven a network of support, commitment, and passion that permeates every aspect of our business.

Today, A&W Greek Shop is proudly co-owned and operated by Velda and Tracie, who continue to uphold the values instilled by Susie. They are supported by Jewell's wisdom and the diligent in-store management of Monica Eubanks. Most recently, the Hall legacy expanded to include Susie's great-grandsons Todd (8 years old) and Tyson (7 years old), who are Creative Directors for A&W's upcoming Future Collection. Our team is dedicated to continuing Susie's legacy by serving the community and fostering connections through the unique bond of Greek unity.These women collectively operate A&W Greek Shop from locations across the country, Birmingham, Alabama; Chicago, Illinois; and Detroit, Michigan.
