There are nine historically Black Greek letter organizations (BGLOs) that make up the National Pan-Hellenic Council. Collectively, these organizations are referred to as "The Divine Nine." Each of these fraternities and sororities is rich in history - ties to one or more of these organizations may be found in many college-educated Black families in the United States. Several members of these organizations participated in the Phillips High School Black History Month Celebrations. Junior and Senior level students were treated to a 'greek stroll' and information session about each fraternity and sorority.
