Macy's has partnered with the National Pan-Hellenic Council, also known as The Divine Nine, to create a special clothing line that supports Black Fraternities. This exclusive collection features items inspired by the signature colors of five fraternities: Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma, and Iota Phi Theta. With prices ranging from $49 to $500, there's something for every budget. The line was initially launched in April and has since expanded to include a wide variety of products, such as sport coats, neckwear, dress shirts, polos, sweaters, hats, and other accessories. The collection was created in collaboration with Tayion Collection® and designed by the talented Montee Holland, a self-made designer who graduated from The Workshop at Macy's in 2019. There are also pieces designed by Stacy Adams for Macy's private brand, Club Room.
This new menswear collection is a perfect complement to the Sorority Collection that was released in 2022. Elwyn Mapps, Macy's Vice President of Men's Sportswear and member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., expressed his excitement about the partnership, saying, "As a proud member of The Divine Nine, I am thrilled to provide members with a collection that reflects their organization's mission and history while also empowering them to express their personal style." Mapps continued, "This assortment truly embodies each organization by featuring their signature colors and speaks to their commitment to academic excellence, community service, and brotherhood."
In addition to offering stylish and meaningful clothing options, Macy's is also committed to supporting the foundations of The Divine Nine Fraternities. Through their social purpose platform, Mission Every One, Macy's plans to donate over $3 million to these organizations by January 2025. So far, they have already contributed $1.75 million to the education and research foundations of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., and Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.
The Fraternity Collection is available both online and in select stores, making it easily accessible for members and supporters. By purchasing from this collection, not only can you show off your fraternity pride, but you can also support a meaningful cause. Macy's and The Divine Nine have truly come together to create a collection that represents the values and mission of these fraternities, while also making a positive impact in the community.
