Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. (Currently Inactive)

Founded December 4, 1906, the objective of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. is to stimulate the ambition of its members; to prepare them for the greatest usefulness in the causes of humanity, freedom and dignity of the individual; to encourage the highest and noblest form of manhood; and to aid downtrodden humanity in its efforts to achieve higher social, economic and intellectual status.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

Founded January 15, 1908, the mission of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. is to cultivate and encourage high scholastic and ethical standards, promote unity and friendship among college women, maintain a progressive interest in college life, solve and alleviate problems as they pertain to women and girls, and to be of service to all mankind. Alpha Kappa Alpha is one of our NPHC organizations

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (Currently Inactive)

Founded January 13, 1913, the purpose of Delta Sigma Theta is to provide assistance and support through established programs in local communities throughout the world. The major programs of the sorority are based upon the organization’s five point thrust: economic development, educational development, international awareness and involvement, physical and mental health, and political awareness and involvement. Delta Sigma Theta is one of our NPHC organizations.

Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.

Founded January 9, 1914, the brothers of Phi Beta Sigma are the Fraternity’s most valuable resource and strength. They are the primary means by which the Phi Beta Sigma objectives will be achieved. In order to accomplish the Fraternity’s objectives, it is essential that systems are instituted that effectively embody “Culture For Service and Service For Humanity” and promote brotherhood, scholarship and service.
