The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) at WSU wants students, faculty, staff and all of Shocker Nation to know that they understand the importance of voting in the upcoming election Nov. 5.
Four members of the Divine 9, the designation given to the nine NPHC fraternities and sororities, got together recently to deliver that message and demonstrate Greek unity. The four, representing the Delta Mu Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Delta Upsilon Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., the Epsilon Psi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. and the Gamma Nu Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., put their message in writing. A member representing each organization held up a sign declaring their intention to go to the polls.
- The Alpha Phi Alpha representative held up a sign that read: “WSU Greeks.”
- The Kappa Alpha Psi representative’s sign read: “Pledge to Vote.”
- The Omega Psi Phi representative’s sign read: “November.”
- The Phi Beta Sigma representative’s sign read: “Will you?”
The NPHC, not just at WSU but nationwide, is rallying alumni and collegiate chapters to participate in this important election. These chapters are actively engaging in voter registration drives, either independently or in collaboration with their respective schools, demonstrating the widespread impact of the NPHC’s efforts.
On Oct. 25, the National Pan-Hellenic Council at WSU launched a Stroll to the Polls event, transporting students and the community to the polls at the Wichita Courthouse downtown. Shocker Vote is currently helping students register on-campus to vote. The purpose of the voter registration is to provide a safe and brave space for campus community members to register to vote and learn more about the various pathways for voting in the upcoming election.
