Black Professional Fraternities and Sororities

[Gamma Xi Phi]

In an effort to share an accurate history of Black Professional GLOs with our pledges, we have created a list of all known BPGLOs. We define a BPGLO (Black Professional Greek Letter Organization) as a Greek letter fraternity or sorority established mainly by African Americans around a particular course of study and/or professional discipline.

If you have any additions to this list, please post them.
