Annual Pan-Hellenic Community Day
June 28, 2008

Pan Hellenic Committee Chairs: Soror Denyse Littles-Cullens (President of
local Pan Hellenic Council) and Soror Ogle Duff

The Pan Hellenic Council held it's Annual Pan Hellenic Community Day on Saturday, June 28th on Meadows Street and as always, the Brothers of Omega Psi Phi opened their Fraternity House to serve as the central location for all the fun festivities. Each Sorority and Fraternity provided health information and/or food and prizes for the attendees. The Ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. passed out information about proper dental care and dental supply samples. Alpha Alpha Omega Sorors also set up a station in which people could get their blood pressure taken. Italian ice and ice cream was served to keep everyone cool from the hot sun and the children enjoyed pony rides as everyone lined danced and party walked to the sounds of the DJ!


Brief History of Pan-Hellenic Council:
The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) is an umbrella organization for nine historically black, international Greek lettered fraternities and sororities. The nine NPHC organizations are collectively referred to as the"Divine Nine" as coined by Lawrence Ross. The founding members of the NPHC
were Omega Psi Phi, Kappa Alpha Psi, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, and Zeta Phi Beta. The council's membership expanded as Alpha Phi Alpha (1931), Phi Beta Sigma (1931), Sigma Gamma Rho (1937), and Iota Phi Theta (1996) joined this coalition of Black Greek letter organizations (BGLOs).
