“The purpose of the NPHC shall be to foster cooperative actions of its members in dealing with matters of mutual concern,” said the NPHC. In addition, this organization is dedicated to enhancing the welfare of its member fraternities and sororities. It supports the creation and growth of local NPHC councils and offers leadership training programs for its members.

The Tuscaloosa – West Alabama Chapter is honored to have dedicated over 50 years to active service and engagement within the Tuscaloosa and Blackbelt communities. The collective of the Divine Nine unites to engage in community service initiatives, embodying their guiding principle, "We are Stronger Together!"

“We must continue the service work to ensure that students in school earn high school diplomas,” said Kenneth Webb, President of the local NPHC chapter. “The work is important to ensure that elementary students are not retained due to the Literacy and Numeracy Act.   Voter Engagement and Voter Literacy are needed to inform community residents that all votes matter.”
