History

In the early 1900s, African American men and women began entering colleges and universities in large numbers. It was in this environment that led to the establishment of Greek letter societies for African American college students. Historically, Black sororities and fraternities not only represent a social institution among African American students but also pride themselves on achievement in academics, leadership, and service to their communities.
