The university celebrates its rich heritage and traditions through numerous events and activities that foster a sense of community and pride among students. Events like Homecoming, Founder’s Day, and Black History Month celebrations offer opportunities for students to connect with their cultural roots and share in the collective history of the African American community. The campus also hosts cultural fairs, guest lectures, and performances that highlight the diversity and accomplishments of Black culture, promoting a deeper understanding and appreciation among all students.
Greek Organizations
Greek life at UAPB is a cornerstone of the campus community. The university hosts chapters of the Divine Nine, historically Black fraternities and sororities that play a significant role in student life. These organizations provide a supportive network for students, fostering leadership, academic excellence, and community service. Membership in a fraternity or sorority offers students lifelong connections and a sense of belonging, as well as opportunities for personal development and community engagement. Greek organizations also host events, social gatherings, and philanthropic activities, contributing to a vibrant and cohesive campus culture.
