The National Pan-Hellenic Council, also referred to as the "Divine Nine" or D9 is composed of nine historically African-American fraternities and sororities. The purpose of the NPHC is to foster cooperative actions of its members in dealing with matters of mutual concern. 

Membership Intake

Additionally, any student that is interested in joining a fraternity or sorority within NPHC is encouraged to attend Meet the Greeks or Convocation held both Fall and Spring semester and various events throughout the year.
