NATIONAL PANHELLENIC CONFERENCE
The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) exists to promote the values of and to serve as an advocate for its member groups in collaboration with those members, campuses and communities. NPC, 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 3.6 million sorority women in the world.
PANHELLENIC AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
The Panhellenic Association at the University of Washington consists of 17 of the 26 sororities whom are members of the National Panhellenic Conference, which began in 1902. In the Spring of 2017, the Panhellenic Association welcomed Phi Sigma Rho, an engineering-based social sorority as an Associate Member. Since its founding, the Panhellenic Association has been nurturing community, leadership, academics, sisterhood and service throughout our campus Greek Community.
The 2024 Executive Board is made up of 11 women who strive to empower and inspire members to empower each other. The Executive Council is responsible for planning all Greek philanthropic events, hosting roundtable discussions and speakers on important campus issues, educating members about policies and procedures, overseeing recruitment, and much more. The council's goals are to challenge ourselves to promote values-based living, to create transparency through clear and frequent communication, and to utilize campus resources to advance individual and chapter development.
