Xavier University of Louisiana is a small, historically Black Catholic university in New Orleans, and its Greek community reflects that identity in a pretty distinct way. The school is known academically — especially for pre-med and pharmacy programs — and that serious academic culture shapes how students engage with organizations across the board, including fraternities and sororities.

The Greek system here operates primarily through NPHC, the National Pan-Hellenic Council, which is the governing body for the historically Black Greek-letter organizations. That's the framework you'll find on most HBCU campuses. The fraternities include Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, and Phi Beta Sigma, while the sororities include Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, and Sigma Gamma Rho. There's also Delta Sigma Pi, a professional business fraternity, which falls outside the traditional NPHC structure.

NPHC recruitment works differently than what you might picture from a big SEC school. There's no formal fall rush week with open houses and bid day balloons. Intake processes for Divine Nine organizations are more selective, often run at the chapter's discretion, and typically involve a longer process of interest and membership education. It's a different model, and it's worth understanding that going in.

The Greek community at XU is on the smaller side relative to some larger universities, but NPHC chapters here — like at most HBCUs — tend to carry significant cultural weight on campus. Step shows, Yard events, and community service initiatives are a real part of how these organizations show up for the school. Philanthropy and service are core to how NPHC chapters define themselves nationally, and that tradition carries through at XU.

Don't expect Greek housing in the traditional sense — there's no Greek Row here. Chapters don't typically have dedicated houses, which is common for NPHC organizations across most campuses. Activity tends to be centered on events, yard presence, and community engagement rather than chapter house life.
