Senator Harris’ choice to use the same advertisement color scheme as Shirley Chisholm is an intentional effort to galvanize the more than 825,00 college-educated women in the Divine Nine spread across 3,240 chapters around the world. Less than a decade later, Barbara Jordan launched her campaign for president and became the first African American and first woman to deliver the keynote address at the 1976 Democratic National Convention. Four years before her 1972 presidential campaign, Chisholm became the first African American woman to be elected to Congress. Delta Sigma Theta members Shirley Chisholm and Barbara Jordan were the first and second African American women to seek the presidential nomination of a major political party (Democrat). Harris is not the only trailblazing Black politician to hail from the Divine Nine. As an undergraduate at Howard, Harris joined Alpha Kappa Alpha (1908), one of four sororities in the Divine Nine dedicated to service, scholarship, social action, and sisterhood-the others being Delta Sigma Theta (1913), Zeta Phi Beta (1920), and Sigma Gamma Rho (1922). Among the nine organizations within the Divine Nine there are four sororities and five fraternities including Alpha Phi Alpha (1906), Kappa Alpha Psi (1911), Omega Psi Phi (1911), Phi Beta Sigma (1914), and Iota Phi Theta (1963). Given Harris’s historic candidacy and the influence of the Divine Nine, the students at these institutions have the capacity to shape the upcoming election in important ways.Īs an integral part of college campuses, the nine historically Black sororities and fraternities-often referred to as the Divine Nine (D9)-have been a vessel for providing social, civic, and political leadership opportunities to youth at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs). In addition to her experience as California Attorney General and Senator, Harris’s education at Howard University (an HBCU) and participation in Black Greek life are important credentials that may prove invaluable in her journey to the White House. While Harris’ nomination is not the first time a woman has been selected as a vice presidential nominee, it is the first time that a Black and Indian-American woman and HBCU alumna has earned a spot on a major party ticket. On August 11, 2020, presidential candidate Joe Biden announced Senator Kamala Harris as his pick for vice president in the 2020 election.
