Member organizations of the Black Fraternal Council unanimously voted last night to join the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc., the umbrella organization for the nine historically black Greek letter fraternities and sororities.

"Because of the increased accountability that we have to go through with the NPHC, it will create more of a stable structure," BFC co-Chair Brandon Green said. "The hope is that it will bring us together socially, on a more personal level, as well as with the University. Hopefully it will make us more visible in the University community as well as the Charlottesville community."

David Bynes, assistant dean of Fraternity and Sorority Life, said joining the NPHC will increase support and resources for the BFC member organizations.   more >>
