A Divine Nine Collective · Every Org · One Line Position
Ace. Deuce. Tre. Four.
Fourth on the line. First to show up for each other. The Quads brings together every member who crossed in the fourth spot — across all nine organizations of the National Pan-Hellenic Council. We've been meeting virtually. Now it's official: Qu4d Squ4d, July 4th in Laurel, MD.
Countdown to Qu4d Squ4d · Sat July 4, 2026 · 12–4 PM · Laurel, MD
The Nine
Nine Organizations. One Position.
Every shade on this page belongs to one of the nine. Wherever you crossed, if you carried the four, you belong here.
Position numbers above reflect NPHC founding order — and yes, the fourth card gets the gold border. Quads recognize quads.

The Legacy
Nine Orgs. One Story.
The unity we're celebrating on July 4th didn't start with us — we're just the latest chapter of it.
United at Howard
On May 10, 1930, the National Pan-Hellenic Council was founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C. — nine organizations choosing one collective voice at a time when Black students were shut out of nearly everything else on campus.
That unity built movements: NPHC organizations and their members went on to play pivotal roles in the Civil Rights Movement, voter registration drives, and generations of scholarship and service. Every line, every number, every quad inherits that.
All Nine Under One Roof — In Our Backyard
This February, the NPHC of Howard County cut the ribbon on its new home at the High Ridge Center in Ellicott City, Maryland — nearly 21,000 square feet shared by all of the Divine Nine, one of the first spaces of its kind in the nation.
Ninety-six years after Howard, the orgs are literally moving in together — twenty minutes up the road from where we'll be linking up on July 4th. The timing isn't lost on us.
