As pillars of excellence, leadership, and service, Black sororities and fraternities have long stood as champions of empowerment, advocacy, and collective uplift within communities locally and globally. Rooted in a shared legacy of resilience and social responsibility, these organizations have consistently leveraged scholarship, service, and civic engagement to address critical needs, dismantle barriers, and create pathways for opportunity. Through decades of philanthropic initiatives—ranging from education and health advocacy to economic empowerment and social justice—the Divine Nine has demonstrated the transformative power of unity, purpose, and action. It is in this enduring spirit of service and brotherhood/sisterhood that we invite Black sororities and fraternities to harness their collective influence, resources, and leadership to extend their impact beyond borders. By engaging in meaningful partnerships and mission-driven efforts in Sub-Saharan Africa, these organizations can help address pressing challenges, strengthen communities, and ignite sustainable, purposeful change that honors their legacy while shaping a more hopeful future for generations to come.

Please make plans to attend and invite other “Divine IX” members to join in on the conversation. The goal of this discussion is to produce actionable outcomes: education, food, shelter for children; clean water, sanitation and hygiene projects; medicines and surgical supplies for clinics and health post; and other initiatives that bring hope and restored dignity to individuals and communities throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. Answer the call today and fulfill Jesus’ mandate to be in mission.
