National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC)

The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) is a collective of nine historically African-American fraternities and sororities that are sometimes collectively known as the "Divine Nine." The NPHC at Texas Tech consists of four of the nine organizations but we are looking forward to having the other five organizations either return or come to Texas Tech in the future!

The council aims to foster the cooperative actions of its members in dealing with matters of mutual concern and to promote camaraderie, academic excellence, and service to the communities they serve and are involved with. Each chapter promotes community awareness action through educational, economic, and cultural service activities.

NPHC Featured Programs

Meet the Greeks

Meet the Greeks is an event open to the entire Texas Tech community, that occurs at the beginning of each semester. This event serves as an opportunity for individuals to learn about the historic upbringing of these organizations and see the NPHC traditions of stepping and strolling. 

This event allows you to see the whole council in one area. You get to meet them, and they will teach you things about their organizations. They play games, dance, and enjoy refreshments. We hope to see you there!

Come out next semester!

How to Join:

The National Pan-Hellenic Council receives new members via an intentional selection recruitment style, most commonly referred to as Membership Intake. Below are the steps that best prepare you for the Membership Intake Process.

• • Ensure that your GPA is a 2.5 or higher. (Some organizations will require at least a 2.75)
  • Get involved on campus. Being in leadership positions will prepare you for membership in an NPHC organization.
  • Attend events and get to know the members of the organization.
  • Keep your resume updated, and ensure that it details all relevant leadership and work experience.
  • Do community service. Some organizations do require service hours to become a member.
  • Be financially sound. Joining an NPHC organization is a financial commitment that you will need to prepare for in advance.
  • Keep a clean reputation on and off campus.

Each NPHC organization has its own expectations for those interested in membership. Chapters host events throughout the year that are open to the campus community. If you are interested in a specific organization, it is highly encouraged that you communicate only with current members of that organization directly to receive additional information.

All NPHC organizations have national membership guidelines that they must follow. These guidelines include a minimum GPA requirement specific to each chapter and proof of enrollment as an undergraduate student at Texas Tech.

In addition to the inter/national requirements, all potential members must attend an NPHC 101 session.

Spring 2024 Dates TBD

All NPHC 101 Sessions will be held in the TTU Student Union Building (SUB) & will be advertised on the FSL Instagram Page!
