More about the Divine Nine

The Divine Nine are taken more seriously at HBCU's( Historically Black Colleges Universities) than at any other higher learning institute. The main reason for this is due to the number of African American students that attend HBCU's. Black colleges and Universities have tradition they like to keep alive at there facilities. For an example Greek Life. Some students parents were Greeks so it's the student's job to keep the  tradition alive in their family. If a student's parents were Greek they are called "legacy." It is know that no matter what your situation if your parents are legacy's then you are automatically apart of the fraternity or sorority.
