Discovering the Divine A look into Black Greek Life in America The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), often referred to as the divine nine greeks, is the collective group of historically black fraternities and sororities in the United States. It originated in May 1930 with five organizations and wasn’t at its full affiliate membership until 1997 when Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. joined. It is made up of five fraternities and four sororities. Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. | 1906 Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. (charter organization)| 1908 Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.

What makes these organizations important? Each organization in the NPHC was developed in a time period when African Americans were denied certain rights and privileges. They each have core values in higher education, camaraderie, and service. You will continue to find members of these organizations actively participating in social justice issues, serving in their communities, and displaying academic success. While these organizations were initially created to serve as safe spaces for African Americans, recent years have shown a change in the organizational structures showing an increase in diversity in regard to membership. Membership doesn’t end for members of the NPHC after graduation. In fact, membership doesn’t always start at a university level. The lifelong bond of joining these organizations will continue to serve invaluable as they represent the true meaning of brotherhood/sisterhood, scholarship, and service.
