The goal of DePaul's Black Student Union is to establish a unifying network within the black diaspora by exploring intersectionality of the black cultural experience. We aim to provide a space where students feel a sense of belonging through meaningful; programming, activities, and workshops. The Black Student Union fosters an atmosphere that promotes student's academic professional, social, and overall well-being.
The Sankofa Black Student Formation Program dives into the diverse aspects of Black identity, empowers Black students to lead and live well, and provides skills for the development of spiritual and holistic wellness.
Students who experience Sankofa not only get the opportunity to engage how they see themselves in the world around them more deeply; they gain a more profound sense of belonging here at DePaul. Sankofa provides a connection and sustained community for students of African descent. They thrive in that community and are determined to ensure that it is available to others. Their identities are celebrated, affirmed, and fed through the family they build with other Black students. Students build trust with each other, staff, and faculty. They engage resources and help-seeking habits that foster retention and allow for intervention in moments of crisis. Sankofa students that find the Black community through our program go on to become leaders at DePaul after discovering a sense of their commitment to other students.
The National Pan-Hellenic Council, also called NPHC, is a collaborative organization of nine historically Black/African American fraternities and sororities. NPHC organizations work toward unanimity of though and action as far as possible in the conduct of collegiate fraternities and sororities. The primary purpose of NPHC is camaraderie, academic excellence, and service to the community. Our NPHC consists of three sororities and one fraternity.
