About NPC
National Panhellenic Conference Vision Statement
Adopted at the Biennial Session, 10/05
The National Panhellenic Conference will be the premier advocacy and support organization for its members, member groups, college and alumnae panhellenics and a proponent of women’s fraternity membership.
National Panhellenic Conference Mission Statement
Adopted at the Biennial Session, 10/05
The National Panhellenic Conference exists to promote the values of and to serve as an advocate for its member groups in collaboration with those members, campuses and communities.
National Panhellenic Conference, founded in 1902, is an umbrella organization for 26 inter/national women's fraternities and sororities. Each member group is autonomous as a social, Greek-letter society of college women and alumnae. Members are represented on over 620 college and university campuses in the United States and Canada and in over 4,600 alumnae associations, making up over 4 million sorority women in the world.
An Alumnae Panhellenic Association is a community based organization, affiliated with National Panhellenic Conference, whose membership is composed of representative alumnae from NPC member group fraternities.
Purpose of Alumnae Panhellenics:
To INFORM fraternity women of current trends
To PROMOTE the fraternity system
To IMPROVE the Panhellenic image
To STIMULATE a continuing interest in Panhellenic affairs
At this time, there are over 200 APHs in the US, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Based upon NPC policies, APHs set up their own organizations and carry out programs in line with their special interest or situations.
APHs enhance the fraternity system through scholarship awards, annual educational informational functions for prospective college freshman, philanthropic projects, community participation and civic leadership. Last year, over $435,000 was raised and granted in scholarships by APHs to over 580 women. If located in a college community, an APH can give valuable support to a College Panhellenic.
Alumnae Panhellenics offer alumnae of the 26 member groups of the National Panhellenic Conference further leadership and social opportunities, beyond the college years. An APH represents an ongoing commitment of women to promote and foster the Greek experience.
