Our Sorority
The Meaning Behind the Name "House of Nine" Sorority
House of Nine Sorority was founded in 2020 by a bold and visionary group of Black women who came together with the shared mission of creating a supportive, empowering space for Black women to thrive. This community, built on courage and commitment, has since welcomed countless strong-willed and intelligent women into its circle, fostering a legacy that we hope to keep alive for generations to come.
The name itself holds deep meaning:
-
House signifies a welcoming, inclusive environment where every member feels at home and is supported in her journey. It symbolizes the nurturing, familial spirit that connects each woman in the sorority and reminds us of the importance of unity, support, and collaboration.
-
Nine carries the powerful symbolism of completion, fulfillment, and universal love. Often seen as a number associated with wisdom, spiritual enlightenment, and transformation, it reflects our commitment to fostering growth and resilience among our members. For House of Nine, it embodies the journey each member undertakes in pursuit of personal and professional excellence.
At House of Nine Sorority, we encourage self-growth, leadership, and community empowerment through alumni networking, monthly workshops, and impactful events throughout the year. As we continue to grow, our legacy remains rooted in the values of self-mastery, resilience, and empowerment, inspiring Black women to reach their highest potential while uplifting those around them.
