National Pan-Hellenic Council

 The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) is a collective of nine historically African-American fraternities and sororities. The nine organizations are sometimes collectively known as the "Divine Nine." The NPHC at Texas Tech consists of four of the nine organizations. The council promotes interaction through forums, meetings, cooperative programming, and initiatives throughout campus.

The primary purpose of the member organizations remains camaraderie, academic excellence, and service to the communities they serve. Each promotes community awareness action through educational, economic, and cultural service activities.

Meet the Greeks

Meet the Greeks is an event open to the entire Texas Tech community. This serves as an opportunity for individuals to learn the historic upbringing of these organizations and see the NPHC traditions of stepping and strolling.

Homecoming Step Show

In the Fall, our NPHC community puts on a show! To finish off homecoming, the Step Show displays more of the traditional stepping and strolling with themed performances. 2019s' theme was "Channel Surfing" featuring classic shows and movies such as "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and "Mean Girls." Our NPHC community continues to strive for excellent showmanship while educating the community about their diverse backgrounds.
