When choosing which college to attend, many parents look at the majors the institution offers, financial aid available, on campus housing etc. but the students are looking more so at the campus life. Are there parties? What is there to do on campus? Are there clubs I can join? What about Greek life? At an HBCU Greek life is a prominent part of campus life. Some young adults come to college with an idea of what the NPHC is about and others do not.
So...What is the NPHC?
The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) is a collaborative organization of nine historically African American, international Greek lettered fraternities and sororities. The nine NPHC organizations are sometimes collectively referred to as the "Divine Nine.
The NPHC consists of :
