The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) is the governing council and collaborative body of the 9 Historically African American sororities and fraternities. The primary purpose of NPHC is camaraderie, academic excellence, and service to the community. NPHC organizations host a variety of social, service and cultural programs throughout the year aimed at educating members of the community.

The NPHC includes nine organizations, often referred to as “The Divine Nine.”

From the NPHC President:

As a returning council president of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, my involvement in SFL has deeply shaped my leadership, personal growth, and sense of community. Serving in this role has pushed me to think creatively while staying grounded in my purpose—supporting and uplifting my community. Though our council is small, it is mighty, and what inspired me to serve two terms was my deep love for this community and the vision to build a lasting foundation for those who come after me. Since NPHC only recently gained official recognition, stepping into this position, especially as a liaison for city-wide members, has taught me the importance of resilience, strategic thinking, and intentional leadership. I've learned to make decisions not just for the present but with a future-focused mindset, hoping to leave behind a stronger, more connected council. What I love most about being council president is the opportunity to make a tangible impact, give back to a community that has given so much to me, and continue feeding the "why" that drives my commitment.

NPHC Alumni and Staff at UC San Diego

Porsia Curry, Director, Black Resource Center

Joining Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. as a student at UC San Diego., was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The organization was not only a lifeline to me in my experience as a Black woman on our campus, but also the avenue through which I developed friendships which have lasted to this day.

 

Ashley Cooper, Special Projects and Graduate Outreach Coordinator, CARE @ SARC

Being a member of the NPHC and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. has been invaluable to my growth. My involvement with Delta Sigma Theta began while I was in high school through Delta GEMS and this experience provided me with some of my first interactions with successful Black women and mentorship. I continue to benefit from the mentorship of my sorors and hope that my mentorship to younger women through our youth programs continues to empower and help cultivate the next generation of women leaders

I am grateful to become apart of the 125,000+ college-educated, dynamic, community service driven, diverse and professional women of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. This organization has brought me great professional development, personal development, and a supportive and genuine sisterhood of women who are active in their respective communities and hold dear the ideals of Service, Scholarship, Sisterhood and Finer Womanhood. I feel completely at home in this illustrious organization.

Visit the NPHC Plaza

Check out the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) Plaza located next to “the Hump” near UC San Diego’s original Student Center. The first of its kind in the University of California system, the NPHC Plaza is a student-conceived space that honors history and fosters unity, collaboration, and cultural appreciation of the contributions made by the NPHC – admirably known as the “Divine 9” historically Black fraternities and sororities.
