NPHC 56 Portico 2009-2010 fellow HoKie, Virginia Tech is a community made great by its tradition and by the legacy left behind by its alumni. It has produced some of the finest leaders in today’s society, and those who have been fortunate enough to walk this campus have left with a lifetime of great memories. The very same thing can be said of Greek Life here at Virginia Tech. We have produced leaders, provided memories, and are deeply rooted in the traditions of both our organizations and the campus. The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) is the governing body of the nine historically black Greek-letter organizations, known as the “divine Nine.” Each of our proud organizations are built around scholarship, community service, personal development, and most importantly, forging lifelong bonds with those who enter into our Greek family. Our histories reach back as far as 100 years and are intertwined with the struggles, passions, and accomplishments of a people. We are open to all individuals of any race, creed, or color and take pride in the diversity of our membership both nationally and internationally. The Virginia Tech National Pan-Hellenic Council sponsors an opportunity for non-affiliated students to learn about and ask questions of the different fraternities and sororities are the beginning of each semester. Those aspiring to become members of one of the nine organizations are encouraged to research all of them. Requirements vary, so be sure to visit the organizations’ websites, both local and national, for specific information. Each fraternity and sorority will conduct an informational session each semester for those wanting a more in-depth look at the organizations. Information on how to obtain and complete a membership application is available at these sessions. Those seeking membership with a specific organization should only express their interest to a member of that organization. Each fraternity and sorority will require proof of achievement of the organization’s minimum standards for academics, community service, and leadership. Approval process varies from organization to organization, but all include graduate chapters and advisors in the review and evaluation process. Greekdom here at Virginia Tech is an excellent way to enhance your collegiate experience and we hope that you take a further look into the offerings of our organizations. We look forward to embracing, developing, and working with the next generation of Hokies. Best Regards, Nigel Wray President, National Pan-Hellenic Council of Virginia Tech

The mission and purpose of Alpha Kappa Alpha is to cultivate and encourage high scholastic and ethical standards, to promote unity and friendship among college women, to study and help alleviate problems concerning girls and women, to promote a progressive interest in college life, and to be of service to all mankind. Alpha Kappa Alpha seeks to uplift the community through programs and service focusing on five platforms: Non-traditional entrepreneurship Economic keys to success The economic growth of the black family Economic educational advancement through technology Health resource management and economics Since its charter on May 4, 1974, the Theta Phi chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha has empowered the community through exemplary service initiatives and progressive programs. Today, the chapter has an ongoing relationship with the Blacksburg Special Olympics, where they volunteer weekly. They also host programs on the Virginia Tech campus that encompass the five platforms and help to educate students on keys to being successful in their education and workplace, issues concerning the community, and health and safety issues. Membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha is a life-long commitment to the standards and principals of the organization. Members continue past the undergraduate experience to lead an “extraordinary service program” and to be of supreme service to all mankind.
