FSU opens dedicated space for Black Greek life weeks after racial discrimination incident

Nov 22, 2024

The NPHC Park Plaza is dedicated to the historically Black “Divine 9” organizations.

A space for Black Greek life to thrive on the campus of Florida State University.

I’m Alberto Camargo, your College Town neighborhood reporter.

I’m learning what makes this park on campus special to the students and alumni who are represented by the letters you see here.

For almost 60 years, historically Black fraternities and sororities have been on FSU campus.

But Friday, their first dedicated space opened just steps away from the FSU Student Union.

The National Panhellenic Council Plaza was features the letters, colors, seal and history of all nine organizations, known as the “Divine 9”.
