National Pan Hellenic Council

On May 10, 1930, the National Pan-Hellenic Council was formed on the campus of Howard University in Washington D.C. The stated purpose and mission of the organization in 1930 was “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.”

The National Pan-Hellenic Council is comprised of nine (9) International Greek Letter Sororities and Fraternities (Alpha Kappa Alpha, Alpha Phi Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta, Iota Phi Theta, Kappa Alpha Psi, Sigma Gamma Rho, Phi Beta Sigma, and Omega Psi Phi).

In June, 1996, the National Pan-Hellenic Council was chartered at the University of South Alabama to promote interaction through forums, meetings, and other mediums for the exchange of information and engages in cooperative programming and initiatives through various activities and functions.

Currently at the University of South Alabama, the National Pan-Hellenic Council consists of Alpha Phi Alpha, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Omega Psi Phi, Delta Sigma Theta, Phi Beta Sigma, Zeta Phi Beta, and Sigma Gamma Rho.

Students who are considering participating in an NPHC-affiliated Greek organization’s intake process must attend an informational meeting before attending any NPHC organization’s interest meeting. For additional information about the NPHC Informational meeting, please contact The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life at 251-460-7003 or schedule a visit at the Student Life Suite in the Student Center.

Membership Intake

Membership intake is the new member selection process, which is guided by the University of South Alabama’s National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC). Each chapter’s intake process generally begins with an interest meeting followed by a period of membership education. The interest meetings and time of intake are dictated on an individual chapter basis with the approval from the organization’s National Headquarters.

Minimum requirements to join a NPHC affiliated fraternity or sorority:

Be in Good Standing with the University’s Judicial office.
Attend the Fall or Spring NPHC Greek Informational.
Complete 12-24 hours of college credit (each national organization and/or chapter determines if credit hours can be counted by either transfer or institutional hours).
Obtain at least a 2.5 GPA, depending on the organization GPA requirement can be higher.
Earn some community service hours, (Exact amount depends on the organization).

We strongly encourage those interested in the Membership Intake process to contact the respective NPHC organizations for more information.
