Phi Rho Eta New Guys on the Block at NIU

Black Frat Vying for Official Status

Phi Rho Eta, a traditionally national black fraternity and one of the "Divine Nine," hopes to leave an impression on the campus of Northern Illinois University.

"The members at NIU sought out Phi Rho Eta Fraternity, Inc. for membership," said Jamil Johnson, national membership chair of Phi Rho Eta Fraternity, Inc. "The members will be supportive of all the Greek councils and their programs and we look forward to working with them."

"It is new and different," said Derrell Brown, a sophomore public health major. "I wanted to be a part of history."

"The fraternity concentrates on community development, which is good for me, because I want to be a teacher or a coach," said Mike Anderson, a sophomore physical education major. "The fraternity is beneficial for me now and for later."

Welcome to campus guys!
