🔥 The NPHC Challenge is back! 🔥
Homecoming is almost here, and the competition is on! 🦉

This fall, KSU’s NPHC organizations are competing to raise funds for the Shelby R. Wilkes Memorial Scholarship, helping create opportunities for future Owls.

But there’s more at stake! 👀 The organization that raises the most will also receive a $1,000 grant to support its organization.

Alumni, family, and friends, this is your chance to rally behind your organization, make a gift, and help them climb to the top!

🏆 We’ll announce the winning organization at the NPHC Yard Show on Sunday, Nov. 8.
Who are you repping? Who are you supporting? Let the challenge begin!
