Greek organizations tend to be the domain of colleges, with students pledging and developing life-long connections in fraternities and sororities.
But Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is thrusting Black Greek organizations into the political sphere.
She is the first presidential nominee to come from a Divine Nine Greek organization, so would be the first president from the Black Greek system if elected.
That means Harris has ready access to the Divine Nine’s more than 2 million members — including activists, community leaders, philanthropists and more — and what could be a potentially powerful voting and mobilization bloc.
Last week, Kiahna W. Davis, a regional director of Alpha Kappa Alpha Inc., formed an AKA political action committee to support Harris.
