The Divine 9 Giving Challenge

Garnet & Blue Extravaganza | Celebrating 130 Years of Bulldog Tenacity

In celebration of South Carolina State University’s 130th Anniversary, we proudly launch the Divine 9 Giving Challenge—a collective call to action for members of the National Pan-Hellenic Council to invest in the future of SC State.

Each Divine 9 organization is challenged to raise $10,000 in support of scholarships and university priorities that advance academic excellence, innovation, and student success.

This is more than a challenge—it is an opportunity to demonstrate the enduring power, unity, and impact of the Divine 9 in shaping the next generation of leaders.

Together, we are building legacy. Together, we are elevating excellence.

Together, we are the Power of SC State.
