UGA historically Black sororities, fraternities to receive markers on campus following decades of effort
For many, it isn t just a figure. It represents a piece of culture warped in a rocky past of desegregation at UGA that will now be cemented on campus. Author: LaPorsche Thomas Updated: 6:28 PM EST December 16, 2020
ATHENS, Ga. After many years of effort, the National Pan-Hellenic Council at The University of Georgia will be recognized with markers (more commonly known as plots) on campus.
The National Pan-Hellenic Council, better known as NPHC, is composed of nine historically Black fraternities and sororities.
According to a press release, the plots were recommended on behalf of the Presidential Task Force on Race, Ethnicity, and Community. For those familiar with the fight to establish a piece of the Divine 9 history on campus, the move is greatly appreciated and long overdue for both current students and alumni.
