About Us

A&W Greek Shop Where Legacy Meets Greek Pride.

A&W Greek Shop is more than a store—it’s family, legacy, and love for the Divine Nine.

Our story begins with David Hall, who in 1965 opened his Selma farm to the thousands who gathered at what became known as Campsite One on the historic Voting Rights March. His sacrifice taught our family what it means to stand for something bigger than yourself—and to serve with pride, no matter the cost.

That spirit lived on in his daughter, Susie Hall, a devoted member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. and the visionary behind A&W Greek Shop. For her, this business was more than retail—it was service. She created a place where sorors and frat brothers could find quality Greek apparel and gifts that honor our traditions, celebrate our bonds, and keep our organizations shining.

Today, Susie’s daughter Velda and granddaughter Tracie continue her mission. As Black women in business, we know the road isn’t always easy. But like so many in our sisterhoods and brotherhoods, we lean on faith, family, and the lessons of resilience that have carried us through. Every stitch, every design, every product we offer is rooted in that same spirit.

When you shop with A&W, you aren’t just buying paraphernalia—you’re keeping a legacy alive. You’re supporting a Black-owned, women-led, family business that has served the Divine Nine community for nearly 30 years. And most of all, you’re joining hands with us as we honor the past, celebrate the present, and build for the future.

Our Collaborating Artist

Carolyn McGlown grew up on the west-side of Detroit during a time when Detroit changed from a majority White city to a majority Black city. In her youth she unapologetically held her fist high, rocked the biggest afro and dressed colorfully in red, black and green.  Ironically she grew up to be quite the conservative artsy person. If you ask her what stands out about her childhood, she smiles and shares memories of her mom singing old Negro spirituals as she drew images on house walls. She credits her talents as a gift from "Yahweh, Jehovah-Jireh" (GOD).  Carolyn received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Center for Creative Studies, College of Art and Design (Detroit, MI).  Carolyn offers her talents to A&W Greek Shop through a series of historic, artistic renditions of the rich heritage of black sorority life.
