Legacy Week of Events

NPHC Legacy Plaza Ribbon Cutting

On September 30, 2022, the NPHC Legacy Plaza Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was held to celebrate the grand opening of the plaza. More than 400 students, staff, alumni, and friends attended this significant event.

The NPHC Legacy Plaza celebrates the past, present and future of Black Greek Letter Organizations on the campus of Auburn University.

Prominently situated alongside one of the university’s main corridors, the Legacy Plaza’s nine markers represent each of the historically African American Greek letter organizations, also known as the Divine Nine. The plaza’s granite pillars are inscribed with each organization’s Greek letters and crest, along with chapter names for the eight that have been established at Auburn. A tenth marker provides information on the plaza’s purpose and significance and recognizes project donors.

In addition to serving as an event and gathering space for Black Greek students and alumni, the Legacy Plaza is a testament to the university’s charge to create a more inclusive environment and the student body’s desire to ensure their peers are equally represented.
