Interfraternity Council
National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc.
The National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc. is the governing council for the nine historically African American sororities and fraternities, known as the Divine Nine. West Virginia University is proud to have five (5) active chapters of the nine international organizations of NPHC. The Council promotes academic excellence, unity, service within the community, and strong bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood.
The stated purpose and mission of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc. 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.”
Panhellenic Association
The Panhellenic Association serves as the governing body for the eight (8) inter/national sororities at West Virginia University affiliated with the National Panhellenic Conference, and one national engineering and STEM social/professional sorority, who is an associate member of the WVU Panhellenic Association. Panhellenic sororities offer educational programs, community service projects, leadership training, social functions, and brotherhood to last through college and beyond.
Every sorority member belongs to the Panhellenic Association immediately upon becoming
a new member. The Panhellenic Association is lead by an elected board of 8 officers
and one delegate from each of the member chapters, which comprise the Panhellenic
Council. The Council works to unite sorority women to focus on common goals and
to create a network of support by providing interactive programs and activities
for sorority women and all WVU students.
