The largest Black fraternities and sororities, also known as the Divine Nine, are teaming up to mobilize, educate and register voters for the upcoming election this fall.

A push that comes amid heightened public awareness about the organizations as well as disparaging remarks about Divine Nine sororities, including a Fox News host saying what some viewers heard as “colored sorority.” Fox maintains that the host said “college sorority.”

Regardless, Divine Nine organizations are buzzing since Vice President Kamala Harris announced her bid for presidency in the upcoming election.

As a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., the first Divine Nine Black sorority, she has not only seen support from her sorors but also many other Black Greek Letter Organizations.

They are: Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.; Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.; Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.; Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.; Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.; Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.; and Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.

The National Pan-Hellenic Council of Presidents, the leadership body of Divine Nine organizations, sent a statement to its members encouraging them to spread the word about their voter campaign, using #D9StrongerTogether to rally all historically Black fraternities and sororities.

“We, the Council of Presidents of the National Pan-Hellenic Council® (Divine 9®), have met and agreed to meet this critical moment in history with an unprecedented voter registration, education and mobilization coordinated campaign,” reads the joint statement from the Presidents.

The voter mobilization campaign will not only reach Divine Nine organizations but also HBCUs, where many historically Black fraternities and sororities began and have deep roots. For example, Black institutions like Howard University, an HBCU in Washington, D.C., is both Harris’ alma mater and where the sorority to which she belongs was founded in 1908.

“This campaign will activate the thousands of chapters and members in our respective organizations to ensure strong voter turnout in the communities we serve. This nonpartisan coordinated voter mobilization effort builds on our shared legacies of social action and service to our communities,” the statement reads.

While the statement from the National Pan-Hellenic Council of Presidents noted that this voter campaign is a nonpartisan effort, Harris has always proudly claimed, supported and championed her sorority.

Earlier this month, Harris spoke at Alpha Kappa Alpha’s biannual Boulé event in Dallas and encouraged attendees to “continue that work” toward voter registration and mobilization.

“And so, in this moment, once again, our nation is counting on the leaders in this room to guide us forward; to energize, organize, and mobilize; to register folks to vote and to get them to the polls in November,” she stated at the event. “For 116 years, the members of our sorority have been on the front lines of the fight to realize the promise of America. This year, let us continue that work.”

Now endorsed by President Biden amid his dropping out of the race, Harris now has enough delegate support to become Democratic nominee and more than $100 million has been raised for her presidential campaign.
