When was the NPHC founded/organized?

• A. May of 1930 @Howard University
• B. January 1908
• C. November 1922
• D. September 1963

Answer: (A)

The event tests your knowledge of when the National Pan-Hellenic Council, the umbrella organization for the nine historically Black Greek-letter groups, was formed. The foundation of the NPHC occurred in May 1930 at Howard University in Washington, D.C., during a gathering of the presidents and leaders of the major Black fraternities and sororities. This meeting established a formal national coordinating body to unite their efforts, programs, and advocacy. That timing and location are why this option is correct: Howard University served as the birthplace, and May 1930 marks the official founding. The other dates don’t align with the historical record of the council’s creation, so they don’t reflect the actual origin of the NPHC.
