"Generations of NPHC organizations have been required to have extra security for on-campus events, while predominantly white fraternities are able to carry on with rowdy parties that sometimes break laws and university policies."
"Typically, alcohol is not served at Divine Nine events, and more common is for partygoers to pregame prior to arrival, highlighting a stark contrast in event management."
"Rarely are NPHC members the instigators or culprits at their events; it is most often nonstudents who come from across town or out of town."
NPHC organizations, including the Divine Nine, experience heightened security and surveillance at university events, contrasting with predominantly white fraternities that often evade similar scrutiny. While NPHC events typically do not serve alcohol, attendees may pregame, and violence is usually instigated by nonstudents. This disparity highlights systemic issues in how universities manage social events and enforce policies, revealing a pattern of discrimination against Black Greek organizations compared to their white counterparts.
