What is NPHC?
The National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc. (NPHC) is the umbrella organization for the nine (9) historically African-African American fraternities and sororities. It was organized in May 1930 at Howard University, Washington D.C. The stated purpose of the organization as written in 1930 is, “Unanimity of thought and action, as far as possible, in the conduct of Greek letter collegiate fraternities and sororities, and to consider problems of mutual interest to its member organizations.”
Locally, UCA is proud to represent 8 of the nine organizations. NPHC promotes interaction through forums, meetings and other mediums for the exchange of information and engages in cooperative programming and initiatives through various activities and functions. NPHC serves as the coordinating agent, unifying body, and policy implementing body for affiliate organizations; NPHC organizations maintain their autonomy in the establishment of policies and procedure concerning their respective organization. The NPHC sets guidelines in areas of mutual interest and coordinates joint activities. The ultimate mission of all NPHC organizations is PUBLIC SERVICE.
