        On Sunday, February 15, 2026, Mt. Hermon AME Church and its dynamic spiritual leader – Rev. Henry E. Green, III – will celebrate Greek Unity Day for the 32nd consecutive year . The first Greek Unity Day observance occurred under the leadership of Rev. Michael Cousin in 1983 and remains one of the pillars of the month long Black History celebration. Initially, the sororities and fraternities composing the Devine Nine highlighted the social and community programs that greatly impacted their constituents and stakeholders. Later, a greater emphasis was placed on numbers and attendance with winners recognized accordingly. In recent years a greater and more appropriate theme has emphasized unity and comradeship among the various Greek letter organizations which include Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Eta Phi Beta, Sigma Gamma Rho and  Zeta Phi Beta Sororities respectively; Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Iota Phi Theta, Phi Beta Sigma and Omega Psi Phi fraternities.
