National Panhellenic
Conference
National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) was
founded in 1902 and is the primary advocate and support organization for 26
inter/national women’s fraternities and sororities, its members, and college and
alumnae councils. Each fraternity and sorority 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. NPC represents over 3.6 million sorority women
in the world.
The mission of National Panhellenic
Conference is “to promote the values of and to serve as an advocate for its
member groups in collaboration with those members, campuses and communities.”
The creed is as follows:
We,
as Undergraduate Members of women's fraternities, stand for good
scholarship, for guarding of good health, for maintenance of fine standards, and
for serving, to the best of our ability, our college community. Cooperation for
furthering fraternity life, in harmony with its best possibilities, is the ideal
that shall guide our fraternity activities.
We,
as Fraternity Women, stand for service through the development of
character inspired by the close contact and deep friendship of individual
fraternity and Panhellenic life. The opportunity for wide and wise human
service, through mutual respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which we strive
to live.
