National Pan-Hellenic Council
The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) is a collaborative organization of nine historically African-American fraternities and sororities, often referred to as The Divine Nine (D9).
While the University of Richmond has historically been home to an active undergraduate National Pan-Hellenic Council, the council has been inactive in recent years. Despite not having an active council structure, there are active NPHC organizations on-campus at Richmond.
NPHC Intercollegiate Fraternity MembershipThrough a partnership with Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), University of Richmond students may pursue membership in National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) fraternities chartered at VCU.
This intercollegiate collaboration allows Richmond students to join and fully engage with VCU chapters, expanding access to NPHC fraternities and fostering meaningful cultural and community connections across institutions.
