About Cleveland NPHC
About Us
The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) is a collaborative organization representing the nine historically African American, international Greek-lettered fraternities and sororities. Collectively, these organizations are known as The Divine Nine.
While each organization independently advances community awareness and social activism through educational, economic, and cultural initiatives on both national and international levels, their members recognized that a united effort would have a greater impact. In response, the NPHC was established as a permanent organization on May 10, 1930, at Howard University and was later incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois in 1937.
To extend this mission at the local level, the NPHC of Greater Cleveland (NPHCGC) was organized in September 1972 under the leadership and guidance of Beatrice Wright Fox, a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. Today, the council is comprised of more than 2,000 members from the Divine Nine organizations, represented through 14 graduate chapters within Greater Cleveland.
The membership includes a wide range of professionals—business owners, government officials, educators, clergy, athletes, law enforcement, financial experts, and more. This diversity of talent and leadership is one of NPHCGC’s greatest strengths. Together, our collective efforts have positively impacted more than 5,000 individuals across the Greater Cleveland area.
The NPHC of Greater Cleveland remains a strong and vital force in the community, committed to fostering unity, service, and growth. We will continue to uplift one another and empower our communities to achieve greater heights.
