This process has been years in the making and it\u2019s not only an achievement for the NPHC but for all of the black students here at Georgia Southern University,\u201d said National Pan-Hellenic Council President Tyree Pryor. \u201cOn a national level, historically our fraternities and sororities fought for equality and recognition in a collegiate space such as this one. This project shows that those efforts were not in&nbsp;vain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park includes paver walkways, an outdoor paver plaza and new landscaping.
