The remaining seven groups met and the session resulted in the organization of the first interfraternity association and the first intergroup organization on college campuses. Alpha Chi Omega and Chi Omega were unable to attend and would join the following year. In 1902, Alpha Phi invited Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Chi Omega, and Chi Omega to a conference in Chicago on May 24 to set standards for collegiate sororities. These stories date all the way back to 1891 with the intention to meet again in 1893. However, no actual Panhellenic organization existed and no uniform practices were observed. One of its services is providing advisors for college and alumnae Panhellenic organizations.Įarly histories of women's fraternities contain accounts of "rushing and pledging agreements" or "compacts" among fraternities on various campuses, and many stories of cooperation and mutual assistance. Other than basic agreements which its groups must unanimously vote to follow, NPC confines itself to recommendations and advice and acts as a court of final appeal in any College Panhellenic difficulty. The organization holds a philosophy that it is a conference, not a congress, as it enacts no legislation and only regulates its own meetings. Each year, NPC-affiliated collegians and alumnae donate more than $5 million to causes, provide $2.8 million in scholarships to women, and volunteer 500,000 hours in their communities. Founded in 1902, NPC is one of the oldest and largest women's membership organizations, representing more than 4 million women at over 650 college/university campuses and 4,600 local alumnae chapters in the U.S. The National Panhellenic Conference provides guidelines and resources for its members and serves as the national voice on contemporary issues of sorority life. Each member group is autonomous as a social, Greek-letter society of college women and alumnae. The National Panhellenic Conference ( NPC) is an umbrella organization for 26 (inter)national women's sororities throughout the United States and Canada.
