Sen. Randal Mangham Welcomes Divine Nine Members to the Capitol

On Tuesday, March 11, Sen. Randal Mangham (D–Stone Mountain) met with representatives from the Divine Nine sororities and fraternities as well as alumni of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) to plan Divine Nine and HBCU Day at the Georgia State Capitol for 2026.

“I’m honored to have met with representatives from the Divine Nine Greek-letter organizations and our HBCUs,” said Sen. Mangham. “We had productive conversations about our goals and strategies for the upcoming Divine Nine and HBCU Day that will take place during the next legislative session. As a proud Howard University graduate, I know firsthand that HBCUs are more than educational institutions; they are pillars of excellence, leadership and resilience in our communities. The Divine Nine and HBCUs are vital in supporting black students and fostering our state’s future leaders. I look forward to continuing these important discussions in the months ahead.”

The group will reconvene after the 2025 Legislative Session concludes for further planning and discussion.
