The First Coast National PanHellenic Council (FCNPHC) sponsored their inaugural luncheon last weekend to congratulate and celebrate the local Divine Nine’s “Brothers and Sisters of the Year.” The festivities began with worshiping together at Emanuel Missionary Baptist Church morning services followed by a luncheon in the banquet hall.
Each chapter nominated a brother or sister of the year for their outstanding service to their sorority/fraternity chapter as well as the community. The proceeds from this event are benefit the organizations scholarship fund. The afternoon included dinner, vendor booths and presentations to the honorees.
