Joining an NPHC Fraternity or Sorority<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The NPHC chapters on Vanderbilt\u2019s campus seek to continue the traditions of excellence and involvement with campus life since their joining campus over 50 years ago. Throughout the fall and spring semester, potential members will have the opportunity to learn about and engage with current and alumni members of NPHC organizations. Each affiliate organization will implement its respective internationally sanctioned membership intake process. NPHC chapters will advertise their membership intake process through fliers labeled \u201cInterest Meeting, Informational, Rush Tea or Meet N\u2019 Greet\u201d, which all students are welcome to attend to learn more about an organization or express interest. These fliers will always be posted outside of the Office of Greek Life or on social media (if allowed) no less than a week before said meeting. To learn more about NPHC organizations, interested students are encouraged to research their individual organization and chapter websites, follow organizations on social media, and attend various events hosted by NPHC organizations on campus. Please reach out to Tijuan Neal II<\/a> with any questions or concerns.<\/p>\n
