The Historical Legacy of the Divine 9 Panel Discussion

February 6 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

The pioneer Black Greek-letter organizations have become known as the Divine Nine and are a pivotal part of African American history and culture since the early 20th century. Launched on the campuses of historically black colleges, these organizations have been a central resource for support and service in the educational advancement and strengthening of social bonds among black students, entrepreneurs and professionals, especially when the organizations expanded to majority white institutions of higher learning. Also, they were a way to combat racism, as many campus organization memberships were exclusionary to students and professionals of color.

Join Dayton Metro Library’s Department of Equity, Inclusion and Diversity for a dynamic and informative panel event where you’ll have the opportunity to meet and interact with members of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC). This event will provide a platform for dialogue, understanding, and engagement with the NPHC organizations in your local community and universities.
