National Pan-Hellenic Council

The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) serves as the governing board for historically Black fraternities and sororities at Saint Louis University. NPHC is also referred to as “The Divine Nine,” or “D9”, which were founded with ties to the traditions and values of Black culture.

Members of SLU's NPHC community pose outdoors while wearing their organization's letters.

SLU’s National Pan-Hellenic Council chapters provide students the opportunity to participate in community service, host community-building events, and engage in the values of Black culture.

While their values celebrate and support the Black experience, our NPHC organizations are inclusive to members of all identities. Many of our NPHC organizations are citywide chapters, which means they are identified as collegiate chapters with two or more participating colleges and/or universities.
