Anointed Students In Unity Fellowship Fraternity & Sorority, Inc (ASUF). was founded on August 13, 1999 at Albany State University and incorporated on May 30, 2000. ASUF was founded by fifteen students; Shannon Metts Thomas, Larry Thomas, Charles Walker, Nazarell Williams, Kimberly Savage Jones, Pamela Flowers, Shamika Sanders, Brandie Hollis Franlkin, Jade Selma, Troylene Johnson, Kimberly Roan, Benjamin Brown, Darius Johnson, Austin Elder, Kelvin Rachel, one administrative advisor, Hortense Jackson and spiritual advisor, Pastor Leon B. Gardner (New Birth Fellowship Church).

The vision for ASUF was given to Shannon Metts Thomas. While in class writing on a piece of paper, she wrote the letters ASU, which she thought stood for Albany State University. After taking a second glance, she realized that she actually wrote anointed students in unity. She kept the vision discreet for two years. As time passed, God began to revealed more information about the organization. She began to seek God even more about His plans. She discussed with Minister Larry Thomas and Hortense Jackson the name for a Christian fraternity & sorority. Unsure about God’s timing concerning this vision, she began praying and seeking God about the timing. God answered with an awesome sign! One day, as Shannon walked to class, she picked up the latest copy of "The Student's Voice", which is the official student newspaper of Albany State University. She began reading an article titled “How to Start A New Campus Organization”. She knew that this was the sign from God, but she was one semester from graduating.

She knew that her purpose for being at Albany State University was not fulfilled. Shannon decided to ask her pastor, Leon B. Gardner for advice. He gave his support along with $500 dollars to get started. Shannon asked Hortense Jackson to be the administrative advisor for this group and she agreed. The idea of a new Christian fraternity and sorority was announced to the bible study led by Min. Larry Thomas. Five students were very excited about the idea. The five students were Min. Larry Thomas, Shannon Metts, Min. Charles Walker, Kimberly Savage and Nazerall Williams. During the summer, Shannon and advisor Hortense Jackson worked to develop the vision, purpose, and goals of ASUF.

After a summer of hard word, an proposal was presented to the Office of Student Affairs and approved on August 13, 1999. The first interest meeting was held at the Criminal Justice Building Room 111 on September 16, 1999. The $500 was used to buy t-shirts and supplies for the first interest meeting. As a result of the interest meeting, fifteen students on fire for God became members. They were anointed as a member of Anointed Students In Unity Fellowship Fraternity and Sorority, Inc. on December 5, 1999. The first membership class was entitled "15 Keys to a Holy Ghost Explosion”. Their first appearance were at New Birth Fellowship Church. That was the beginning of" The Ultimate Fraternal Experience".
