Panhellenic Sororities
The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), is the umbrella organization for 26 international and national sororities. Founded in 1902, the NPC is one of the oldest and largest women’s membership organizations, representing more than four million women from 655 college and university campuses, including 4,500 local alumnae chapters throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Each year, NPC-affiliated collegians and alumnae donate more than $5 million to worthy causes, provide $2.8 million in scholarships to women, and volunteer more than 500,000 hours in their communities.
Below you'll find a list of the 26 sororities, each linked to their national website. Enjoy visiting your sorority's site to see what's happening or seek out a local alumnae group to meet up with sisters now located in the Coachella Valley.
Below you'll find more specific information about each individual sorority.
