Since the early 1900′s, HBGLO’s has contributed to the cultural advancement and political progress in the country. Our section “Black Greek: 101″ has been created to re-introduce the history, legacy, and traditions that the “Divine 9″ has incorporated into their organizations and also to discuss ideas and strategies that can be implemented to better our respective communities.

By doing this, we hope to motivate, educate, and inspire our youth to look forward to higher education and to contend with the negative storylines and stereotypes that has plagued the reputation of the nation’s oldest black corporations.
