For over 50 years, universities across the United States have established the tradition of providing gathering spaces, referred to as “plots,” designed to represent each historically black Greek-lettered organization within the NPHC while giving alumni and current members an area for reflection, celebration, and gathering. 

The NPHC utilizes plots to represent their belonging to campuses across the nation and can be traced to the division of Confederate land after the end of the Civil War.

These plots are used to create a positive environment for NPHC to promote sororities and fraternities while educating students about the history of these organizations.
