We strive to promote the highest quality of social, cultural, and community-oriented programming and events amongst member organizations and councils. Our goal is to also serve as a source of organizational growth in conjunction with academic preparation.

 

National Pan-hellenic Council (NPHC)

The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) is a collaborative organization of nine historically predominantly African American, international Greek lettered fraternities and sororities. The nine NPHC organizations are sometimes collectively referred to as the "Divine Nine." This traditional council consists of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc., Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc., Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc., Iota Phi Theta Fraternity Inc.

The NPHC was formed as a permanent organization on May 10, 1930 on the campus of Howard University, in Washington, D.C. NPHC was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois in 1937. The council 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.

 

Panhellenic Council (PC)

Individually unique together complete, is the Panhellenic motto. Panhellenic Council (PC) represents the four social sororities at Binghamton University, ΑΕΦ, ΔΦΕ, ΦΣΣ, and ΣΔΤ. This council has elected board members who are constantly trying to improve Greek Life as much as possible. It organizes Fall and Spring Rush to ensure the excellence of the recruitment process for the individuals interested. Panhellenic Council (PC) also organizes charity events, such as the Panhellenic Pizza Party, which allows students to meet the girls in each sorority, in a fun and social event.

Being involved in one of these sororities gives the students a lifetime of memories and friends. It enables social networking, philanthropy events, and one-of-a-kind experiences. Panhellenic Council (PC) always works hard to ensure these values never change, but only get better.

 

Professional Fraternity Council (PFC)

The Professional Fraternity Council (PFC) is a council whose function generally is to represent, oversee, advice, and regulate professional fraternities/sororities on the Binghamton University campus. It is the main channel of communication among the professional fraternities/sororities and with the Binghamton University administration. It is also in charge of solving issues that may arise within the PFC and its affiliated fraternities/sororities. The Professional Fraternity (PFC) is charged with numerous responsibilities all of which ultimately are linked to the primary purposes of ensuring that all professional fraternities/sororities are able to offer strong opportunities and insight regarding their designated career/major and are able to offer a positive presence on the Binghamton University Campus.

The Professional Fraternity Council (PFC) accomplishes this purpose through a five person executive board, two magistrates, a Legislative Association composed of two delegates from all affiliated professional fraternities/sororities, and the Governors Council composed primarily of the individual presidents of each of the affiliated professional fraternities/sororities.

A professional fraternity/sorority is an organization whose principle goal is to help foster and facilitate connections between students of a similar major and/or career path. Each professional fraternity/sorority offers unique insight and support for its members in their academic and professional endeavors and seeks to develop strong social bonds of friendship of brotherhood/sisterhood among its members and alumni. This goal is accomplished through the application of professional, social, and philanthropic components.
