Sigma Pi Phi (The Boulé) and The National Pan-Hellenic Council (The Divine Nine)
Speaking of Barack Obama, a 2016 Obama White House statement about then Supreme Court nominee, Merrick Garland mentions Sigma Pi Phi (aka The Boulé). The March 09, 2016 Savannah Tribune article below causes this Anon to wonder just how involved Barrack Obama is with The Boulé. The Black America Web piece below gives possible insight into the mindset of people involved with Sigma Pi Phi/Boulé. It also makes Anon wonder to whom Nancy Pelosi, other members of congress, sports figures, law enforcement officers and everyday Amiricans were bending the knee.
Obama White House - What They’re Saying – African-American Community
March 28, 2016
“The Executive Committee of the Grand Boulé ofSigma Pi PhiFraternity unanimously agreed to take a public position on the U.S. Supreme Court vacancy. Founded in 1904, Sigma Pi Phi (also known as the Boulé) is the first Greek-letter fraternity to be founded by African-American men. Members have included W.E.B. Du Bois, Martin Luther King, Jr., among others. Sigma Pi Phi periodically takes public policy positions on issues critical to our community and has made social action a key strategic priority.
“On February 29, 2016, Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity issued a statement that political obstructionism undermines the U.S. Constitution, and indicated that statements that the current President should not nominate a Supreme Court replacement run counter to Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution that states that the President “shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint….Judges of the Supreme Court."
“Now that the President has announced a nominee, Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity calls upon the Senate to provide a fair hearing and vote on the nominee in a timely manner.
“Sigma Pi Phi requests that its members across the nation contact their U.S. Senators demanding that the U.S. Senate provide a fair hearing on the nominee in a timely manner.” [Sigma Pi Phi Grand Sire Archon, James O. Cole, 3/16/16]"

Black America Web - Little Known Black History Fact: Sigma Pi Phi
"Collectively known as “The Boule,” which some sources say means “a council of noblemen,” Sigma Pi Phi is one of the more exclusive Greek-letter organizations. Unlike The Divine 9 fraternities and sororities, its members have already graduated or earned their professional degrees before they can join."
