Talent Hunt

Brother Ronald Bell Jr. Chairman

The Richmond Area Chapters of Upsilon Nu, Phi Phi, Zeta and Phi Delta conduct the yearly Talent Hunt Program at 31st Street Baptist Church.
The event encourages high school youth to display talents in music and art to compete for monetary prizes.
Winners are eligible to compete at the Third District and International levels at the Conclave.
In 2023, the event was renamed in memory of Brother William Prentiss Jr., an initiate of Norfolk State University's Pi Gamma Chapter.
Brother Prentiss was a music teacher in Chesterfield County Schools and was instrumental in managing
the Talent Hunt efforts locally and at the Third District level.
Brother Bell co-chairs this annual event with Brother Kenny Williams, a Phi Phi Chapter member
