Wilberforce National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC)

Overview

The National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc. (NPHC) is a coalition of the nine largest historically African American Greek-letter fraternities and sororities*, currently representing over 1.5 million members internationally. Additionally, the organization boasts a diverse membership comprised of students, celebrities, corporate, political and community leaders. The NPHC was organized on May 10, 1930, on the campus of Howard University. For over 75 years, members of the constituent Greek-letter organizations of NPHC have convened to discuss and address issues of mutual concern. The collective social and economic power of the NPHC has been a major source of change for the African American community in America since its inception.
