The Student Government Association’s legislative branch consists of the Student Senate, which establishes policies through legislation and annually allocates more than $11.5 million in student fees. Senators represent specified portions of the Student Body, including each academic college and demographics, such as veterans, out-of-state students, and underserved populations.

Whether it’s discussing college advising, student life, student organizations, tuition costs or a slew of other topics, joining the SGA Senate is a great way to help shape Wichita State in a way that all Shockers can be proud of.

The Office of Student Engagement, Advocacy and Leadership is pleased to officially announce that the chartering of the nine Historically Black Fraternities and Sororities, known as the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), will take place at 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21 at the Beggs Ballroom in the Rhatigan Student Center. All students, faculty and staff are invited to attend this event.

Founded in 1930, the NPHC was founded to connect the nine Historically Black Fraternity and Sororities through the motto of “unanimity of thought and action.” This ceremony celebrates the newfound love and fellowship coming to Wichita State University.

Those attending the ceremony should wear professional attire. Members of the NPHC should wear all black professional attire (no letters, colors or other forms of paraphernalia).
