Senator Randal Mangham of Stone Mountain met with representatives from the Divine Nine sororities and fraternities, along with alumni from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), on March 11. The meeting was held to plan for the Divine Nine and HBCU Day at the Georgia State Capitol in 2026.

Sen. Mangham expressed his appreciation for the meeting, stating, “I’m honored to have met with representatives from the Divine Nine Greek-letter organizations and our HBCUs.” He highlighted the significance of these institutions by saying, “As a proud Howard University graduate, I know firsthand that HBCUs are more than educational institutions; they are pillars of excellence, leadership and resilience in our communities. The Divine Nine and HBCUs are vital in supporting black students and fostering our state’s future leaders.”

The group intends to reconvene after the conclusion of the 2025 Legislative Session to continue planning for the event.
