The apostrophe as it relates to NPHC Founders
All NPHC organizations have more than one founder. Correct?
Founder is singular.
Founder's is singular possessive
Ex: That founder's elephant collection is on display at National Headquarters.
Founders is plural. (more than one)
Founders' is plural possessive. (belonging to more than one)
Ex: The founders' degrees are on display at National Headquarters.
Founders Day, in the case of Delta Sigma Theta, does not need an apostrophe. At all. I cannot speak for the other 8 organizations on the apostrophe's presence, but I do know that it shouldn't ever be Founder's because there is more than one founder.
So next January I want to see more Happy Founders Day and zero Happy Founder's Day.
Por favor.
