The DLT Greek Cruise

Celebrating the Dream on Water

January 16 - 19, 2009 read more

In the inception stage the DLT was initially coined AKA Authors on Tour, as well as other names, i.e., Pretty Girls, Girls in Pink, SkeeWee Tour, etc. But ultimately it was decided that we can slay more dragons together than apart. Why be exclusive? We are one body, one entity!! We are the Divine Nine!!!! Unity is what we are all about; we are one family made up of nine brothers and sisters. So we chose to become The Divine Literary Tour, open to Black Greek Authors who are making a difference in their communities. The nine organizations that make up the NPHC have given us some of the most profound heroes and heroes of our time and we have stepped up to the challenge to carry on the torch.

September 23, 2005 at the famed Akwaaba Mansion in Washington, DC owned by former Essence Magazine editor Monique Greenwood marked the kick-off date for the tour. Our reception with Greek and social organizations has been overwhelmingly positive. The first year followed with travel all over the United States, including Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Miami, and other cities.

What makes the Divine Literary Tour special is that whether the consumer’s reading interest is sexy, fast-paced urban and hip-hop fiction or inspirational Christian works with a touching message or something different altogether, the tour has something for them. This aspect allows us the opportunity to attract a wide variety of individuals attending each event.

The Divine Literary Tour is your place for empowerment, enlightenment, and entertainment.

Black Greek Letter Organizations making up the tour include:
Fraternities – Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma, Iota Phi Theta
Sororities – Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Sigma Gamma Rho, Zeta Phi Beta
