NPC Can Help Rock the Vote

Our member organizations were founded by women who were courageous to step forward and establish women’s-only organizations where they had voice and vote in a safe forum, this before the ratification of the 19th amendment. Many of the early leaders in our organizations were also active in the women’s suffrage movement. These sorority sisters advocated for future generations of women when they petitioned for voting rights.

National Voter Registration Day is Sept. 22. As part of our duty as citizens in our communities, I encourage you to exercise your right to vote whenever possible and encourage other sorority members to get registered. Please visit www.nationalvoterregistrationday.org for information on opportunities to become more engaged.

Let’s do our part and honor those women who came before us and fought for the rights and privileges that we enjoy today. Spread the word and rock the vote.
