The purposes of our organization are as follows:

• To promote unity and togetherness among the members of black Greek organizations, and all African American students at Sam Houston State University.
• To mediate grievances between black Greek organizations and issue appropriate sanctions.
• To create and maintain high standards on the life of fraternities and sororities by addressing, coordinating, and developing strategic actions on matters of mutual concern.
• To promote student leadership.
• To promote a greater degree of culture, closer social fellowship, and a stronger fraternity/sorority spirit among members.
• To encourage black Greek organizations to concern themselves with programs designed to meet the needs of the community.

Attending the individual chapter’s functions is a great way to meet and get to know members of the organizations as well as our “Greek Assembly” program which all interested students are required to attend the semester the organization is having intake to be eligible to join a NPHC organization. If a student can not attend "Greek Assembly" they must inform SHSU Greek Life staff prior to the event with proof of the schedule conflict or at least within 3 business days after the event in case of an emergency.
