S1.E7 - 9 Powerful People - What are Black Greek organizations? Why are they important?

Black History month is right around the corner. On this episode I am sharing a part of Black history and Black present that is often not discussed in mainstream lessons. I’m talking about historically Black Greek Sororities and Fraternities. Most of these organizations have been making a positive impact in the Black community and beyond for over 100 years. Share the beauty of Black culture with your students through the lens of Black excellence. Share Black Greek Sororities & Fraternities. In the show I mention each organization. Here are links to their national websites: Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity (1906) Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority (1908) Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity (1911) Omega Psi Phi Fraternity (1911) Delta Sigma Theta Sorority (1913) Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity (1914) Zeta Phi Beta Sorority (1920) Sigma Gamma Rho (1922) Iota Phi Theta Fraternity (1963) All of these organizations are united under the National Pan-Hellenic Council.
