NPHC currently has seven active chapters at Middle Tennessee State University, and they are proud to say they have all four of the National Pan-Hellenic sororities as a part of their campus: Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Sigma Gamma Rho, and Zeta Phi Beta, all of whom were recently presented with plaques representing their organizations in the Student Union Commons. The National Pan-Hellenic Council, also known as The Divine Nine, is comprised of nine historically African American sororities and fraternities. These groups were created with the intention of building a better world around them for themselves and others. The University recently recognized this work, dedicating 10 special bronze plaques on the Student Union Commons for each of the “Divine 9” fraternities and sororities as well a plaque commemorating the NPHC’s 50-year relationship with the institution. With such an awesome legacy, we’d like to highlight the four NPHC sororities on campus whose missions are to uplift their communities and help cultivate a more equitable society for everyone. There are thousands of Greek organizations in existence just in the United States, but some spotlight should really be shed on the National Pan-Hellenic Council, which was founded in at the beginning of the 20 th century by students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). People have a lot of assumptions about Greek life, but few know about the history of education and philanthropy associated with these organizations.
