The Collegiate 100
was founded on the campus of Prairie View A&M University in 1993 by Frederick V. Roberts. Roberts, who served as the Student Activities Director and was a member of the 100 Black Men of Metropolitan Houston, sought for Collegiate 100 to gain affiliation with the 100 Black Men of America. After bringing the idea to the local chapter, The 100 Black Men of Metropolitan Houston accepted his proposal in November of 1994 and presented it to the national organization in December of the same year. It was unanimously approved, the proposal was adopted, and the national implementation of Collegiate 100 began. Originally, the group comprised of men and women who provided mentorship and leadership to students at PVAMU. Some of these original members include: Robert Brown, Horace Bussey, Kevin Bussey, Sherry Cardigan, Lelar Corbett, Loretta Davis, Cedric Goodman, Jason Jefferson, Christina Johnson, Marcus Lane, Andre’ Pitre, Derrick Ross, Devyon Smith, Michael Smith and Donna Tomlinson.

The Texas Tech Chapter
of The Collegiate 100 Black Men was chartered on April 25th, 2010. Our purpose was to further assist the 100 Black Men of West Texas' mission to mentor to the youth. This great organization was brought to Texas Tech University in order to combat the lack of African-American role models and leaders present on campus. The original members include: Dr. Ralph Ferguson (Advisor), Dr. Juan Munoz (Advisor), Dwayne Smith, Jessie Washington, Jarod Collins, John Joyner, Keith Close, and more. David Story served as the organization's first President.
The Collegiate 100 Black Women were chartered in April of 2011. The women operated as a separate organization from the men. Riane Gay served as the organization's first President.
In 2013, both Collegiate 100 bodies dropped the "Black" moniker to allow for more diversity within the organizations.
In 2014, under the presidency of Detou Onsin, The Collegiate 100 Men and The Collegiate 100 Women consolidated resulting in the one Collegiate 100 body we have today.
In 2017, under the presidency of Niyia Washington, The Collegiate 100 was named the 2017 Ted Phea Volunteers of the Year.
In 2019, under the presidency of Caleb Morris, the organization adopted the new pillars of Mentoring, Education, Health & Wellness, and Economic Development to reflect the pillars of the local and national 100 Black Men organizations. Additionally, the inaugural Mr. 100 Men's Scholarship Pageant was held. Kadima Muanankese served as the first Mr. 100.
