History
The history of United Council of Christian Fraternities and Sororities (UCCFS) begins with the dream of Visionary Founder Shirley K. Russell of Alpha Nu Omega Fraternity and Sorority, Inc. She had the dream of bringing together Christian fraternities and sororities in a united body to meet the challenges that their unique organizations face. She envisioned a Council that would allow Christian fraternal organizations an environment for cooperative ministry.
In August 2006, the leadership of three such organizations came together—Alpha Nu Omega, Inc., Delta Psi Epsilon Christian Sorority, Inc. and Men of God Christian Fraternity, Inc. National Presidents Curtis M. Brown, Vila-Sheree Watson, Bryan K. Miller and Visionary Russell met during the national convention of Alpha Nu Omega in Virginia Beach, Virginia to form an alliance dedicated to bring together Christian fraternities and sororities for a greater ministry purpose.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
“The awareness that health is dependent upon habits that we control makes us the first generation in history that to a large extent determines its own destiny.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
—Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)
