While academic excellence is a founding tenet for the National Panhellenic Conference, all 26 member groups have resources in place to assist women headed to college providing yet another incentive for women to consider sorority life.

Our organization has launched RecruitmentPrep, an online tool that should make the process of recruitment simple, friendly and easy to follow.

Our potential is vast and almost immeasurable. Harnessing the power and strength of women who followed in the footsteps of our founders 109 years ago is no accident of history. The founders who foresaw “our” potential then are the women who saw well beyond the limitations of their time.

Philanthropy has long been one of NPC’s strong suits as Panhellenic women have historically been committed to community and social causes large and small.

As our membership continues to reflect phenomenal growth with new undergraduates year over year — including a more than 6 percent increase this past year — we are working to ensure the sorority experience remains relevant for today’s college women and alumnae.

So this month, please remind everyone about National Hazing Prevention Week, which is observed across the nation from September 19 to September 23.

As the numbers continue to reflect, every single sorority provides a life-skills learning lab built upon a solid foundation of values and integrity. The successes of our members are a reflection of the women we want to be … and have yet to become.

NPC women never really stop working. Just as planning is underway for our annual meeting this fall in Austin, we also invest time to stay current, updated and ready for the next wave of women we will meet this fall on campuses across the nation.

… quick and easy webinar for parents. Watch it to gain a better understanding of the insurance program provided to members of a sorority and members who live in a sorority house.

To help remind us all that we need to stop, take a breath, and also check up on our physical and emotional well-being, the National Panhellenic Conference is recognizing National Women’s Health Week, which kicks off on Mother’s Day.
