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

Most commonly referred to as "Intake," NPHC membership opportunities are held at various points throughout the year and is hosted by each fraternity or sorority. Each organization determines when and the semester intake will happen. Many NPHC organizations require that you complete one or two years of enrollment at the host institution prior to participating in 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.
