Brothers and Sisters in Greekdom,

The clock is ticking! The election cycle is quickly approaching! With major elections coming, our newsletter is featuring political candidates that are our Brothers and Sisters in Greekdom. By including political candidates in this newsletter does not mean that they are endorsed by the Broward County Council of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc. The Divine 9 is a strong political force so it’s crucial that we continue to be the voice of the voiceless. Let’s work together to ensure that 2016 voter participation rates exceed 2008 and 2012 voter percentages in Broward County. We’ve got work to do, for such a time as this!!!

Yours in Greekdom!

President’s Message:2016 Executive Board
