Meet the Interfraternity Council Chapters tomorrow, Friday September 6 at 5:00pm in the Schmitt Academic Center (SAC 161).

On behalf of DePaul IFC, happy Black History Month! During this month, we urge everyone to learn about and honor the triumphs and struggles of African Americans throughout U.S. history.

As we celebrate National Black History Month, let us all recommit ourselves to the fight to achieve and ensure racial justice across the United States; and, of course, celebrate the Black Americans who have made tremendous contributions to these efforts. After all, Black history is American history.
