Advancing sorority together

The Panhellenic Council is the governing body for the 11 National Panhellenic Council sororities at Cornell University. Panhellenic's mission is to foster supportive environment, which values scholarship, philanthropy, leadership, and personal growth through a unified sisterhood.  Our sororities are values based social organizations, providing members with a tight-knit community of peers, and personal growth opportunities through leadership development and service projects. 

Panhellenic Executive Board

The Panhellenic Creed

We, as undergraduate members of women’s fraternities, stand for good scholarship, for guarding of good health, for maintenance of fine standards, and for serving, to the best of our ability, our college community. Cooperation for furthering fraternity life, in harmony with its best possibilities, is the ideal that shall guide our fraternity activities.

We, as fraternity women, stand for service through the development of character inspired by the close contact and deep friendship of individual fraternity and Panhellenic life. The opportunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which we strive to live.

NPC was established in 1902 to assist collegiate and alumnae chapters of the NPC member organizations in cooperating with colleges and universities and to foster interfraternal relationships. Click the logo to learn more.

Junior Panhellenic Council

Junior Panhellenic is comprised of new members from a range of sororities belonging to the Panhellenic Association. Junior Panhellenic provides these new members with an involvement opportunity in the Panhellenic community early in their sorority experience. Many past Junior Panhellenic leaders say they gained valuable leadership experience and invaluable friends. Membership in Junior Panhellenic can often serve as a stepping-stone to becoming an officer on the Panhellenic Council or leadership within their chapter.

Being a part of Junior Panhellenic also provides young members with the opportunity to meet and work with sorority women of other chapters as they work to increase Panhellenic unity among the entire sorority community. 

Junior Panhellenic is advised by the Executive Vice President of the Panhellenic Council. All questions can be addressed to Executive@CornellPHC.org.
