Panhellenic Council
Every woman who joins a sorority becomes a member of the Panhellenic Association. Panhellenic unites every sorority woman regardless of individual affiliation, and it was created to unite sorority women to strengthen their values and establish common goals. Panhellenic exists on both a national and local level. In the college system there is a Panhellenic Association, of which each new member or initiate is represented.
The Panhellenic Council is a group of representatives from each sorority that guides the Panhellenic Association. In the past, Panhellenic has provided many programs addressing women's issues. They have sponsored speakers on hazing, eating disorders, risk management and alcohol, etiqette, and self-defense. Issues such as these are ones that women face today. Panhellenic strives to provide information to further ones knowledge and understanding.

Being in a sorority is NOT what you see on TV and in movies
Yes, there are social functions, fraternity men and visitors from the inter/national organization, but life does not revolve around these things. It is so much more!
What it is
- A life-long support system that provides career opportunities and networking opportunities during college and in the real world
- An organization that values philanthropy and community service
- A place where women learn to be leaders
- A place to meet amazing friends who will always be there for you when you need them
- A place to enjoy formal dances, date parties and other fun social events
What it is NOT
- A place that puts your looks and wardrobe ahead of your values and personality
- Full of ditzy girls who are only out to have a good time
- A place that will haze you or make you do things against your will
- Full of rich, spoiled and snobby girls
- A place that is only interested in your money while you're in school and will forget about you after you graduate
