 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. 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 members to African-Americans.
They have developed, however, a distinctive African-American style
in their activities both social and philanthropic. Member
organizations include:
