The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) was created in 1902 to promote sorority unity. Today, there are 26 fraternal organizations affiliated with NPC which are represented on over 620 college campuses in the United States and Canada.

When you join one of the six NPC sororities at UTSA, you also become a member of the Panhellenic Council which has over 500 members making us the largest women’s organization on campus! The Panhellenic Council (PHC) promotes equality and establishes guidelines that govern membership recruitment, social activities, and member responsibilities.
