Four Pillars of the Auburn NPHC

Leadership

Developing and preparing student leaders for life after college is one of the many goals of Auburn NPHC. Whether at the chapter level or beyond, fraternities and sororities will teach, encourage, and assist students in developing leadership skills.

Every organizational member has an active role in leading the chapter. Members learn valuable skills by working in group situations, including goal-creation, delegation, risk management, teamwork, event planning, and communication. These skills will help prepare members for future careers within the industry they desire.

NPHC members are actively involved in many campus organizations including:

Student Government Association

War Eagle Girls and Plainsmen

The Cater Society

Spades Honorary

Black Student Union

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)

Student Recruiters

Athletics

National Society of Black Engineers

Camp War Eagle Counselors

Scholarship

The top priority for all students at Auburn should be academics. NPHC supports this commitment to scholarship. The NPHC provides additional support to its members by ensuring they are introduced to academic resources on campus including academic support, tutoring networks, and proctored study halls.

All organizations have academic requirements that encourage members to excel academically so that they complete their degrees and have successful careers. These requirements must be met for a member to stay active in their organization. Every organization has resources and assistance available to help its members do all they can inside and outside the classroom.

The grade point average of NPHC men and women is typically higher than the all-undergraduate male/female GPA comparatively.

Friendship

Joining the NPHC is the beginning of a new experience.

One of the most enjoyable parts of joining the community is making new friends and forming bonds that will last long after college. You will not only learn to communicate with others, but through sharing the same experiences, environment, and interests, you will develop a very special closeness to those around you. Brotherhood/Sisterhood means more than wearing Greek letters, attending meetings and social events, it is about developing friendships and a sense of camaraderie that you will carry on throughout the rest of your life.

Throughout the year, chapters participate in various events on campus and host events between chapters to build relationships and get to know members of other organizations in the sorority and fraternity community. These events help members build friendships and relationships beyond college and serve as a foundation and network for the rest of their lives. Relationships continue to be fostered and created following graduation because of opportunities provided to alumni members of sororities and fraternities.

Service

Community service and philanthropic projects provide fraternity/sorority organization members with the opportunity to support many causes. All Auburn NPHC organizations volunteer in local and national programs including voter registration drives, blood drives, the East Alabama Food Bank, and Adopt-a-Mile.

The NPHC works together on projects to serve the community and foster personal growth and greater unity among the Greek community. Members are empowered to make a positive impact on the community and develop an understanding of civic responsibility through the process of serving others.
