The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), founded in 1930, is the umbrella organization to nine (9) historically African American Greek-letter fraternities and sororities, commonly known as the Divine Nine. 萝莉社's NPHC is the governing body to eight (8) of those fraternities and sororities.
NPHC Membership
Fraternities and Sororities in NPHC take on new members to their organization through a process called Member Intake. This is an individualized process that differs from chapter to chapter. Each group sets the semester and dates that they wish to bring in a new line of pledges (members).This process generally begins with an interest meeting followed by a period of membership education. The intake process typically ends with initiation or a formal crossing into membership and may include a new member presentation or reveal to show the new members to the campus community and their family and friends.
If you are interested in joining one of our NPHC organizations, we strongly encourage you to attend their events and designate interest by filling out the form below or by contacting nphc@wichita.edu.
