Welcome to the Panhellenic community at the University of Washington! My name is Riley Kate Higgins, and I am honored to serve at the 2026 Panhellenic President.

Panhellenic is a vibrant and supportive community, with 18 unique chapters and over 1,800 members, all committed to sisterhood, service, and personal development. Each chapter offers its own distinct experience, but we are all connected through shared goals that emphasize service and academic success.

This community holds a special place in my heart, and I truly believe it will become just as meaningful to you. Looking back on my own journey, I vividly remember the mix of excitement and nerves I felt when first joining a chapter. Stepping into a new experience, especially during this period in your life, can feel overwhelming, but I have been embraced with a community that celebrated who I was and continuously pushes me towards who I could become. Panhellenic has been essential in my growth as a leader, community member, and woman, granting me lifelong friendships and a deep sense of belonging.
