Multicultural Greek Council »
National Pan-hellenic Council »
The National Pan-Hellenic Council was established in 1930 at
Howard University as a national coordinating body for the nine
historically African American Fraternities and Sororities, which
had evolved on American college and university campuses by that
time. The stated purpose of the organization is ?Unanimity of
thought and action as far as possible in the conduct of
Greek-lettered collegiate fraternities and sororities and to
consider problems of mutual interest to its member organizations.?
Blatant racism had prevented many African American students on
historically white campuses from joining general fraternities and
sororities. African Americans were denied admittance to large
numbers of campuses, which still prohibited blacks from attending.
Therefore, African American students on both types of campuses
established fraternities and sororities to enhance their college
experiences. These organizations did not then nor do they now
restrict membership to African Americans.
