“The exciting thing about StompFest is that it is not just for college students, its not just for the fraternities and sororities its not just for the people who may follow the things that we’ve done in the community its really for everybody. You can come to StompFest and may have never even knew about a fraternities and sororities and you are going to fall in love with the magic the same way that I did when I was at FAMU,” StompFest chairperson, Bryan Freeman stated at a press conference.
