Sigma Kappa Sorority

National Panhellenic Conference Delegates
NPC LogoFounded in 1902, the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) is currently comprised of 26 member groups. NPC is a conference, not a congress, and as such it enacts no legislation except for the conduct of its own meetings. Other than the basic Unanimous Agreements that all groups have voted to observe, NPC confines itself to recommendations and advice and acts as a court for final appeal in any College Panhellenic difficulty.

Purpose: The National Panhellenic Conference was established to assist collegiate and alumnae chapters of the member groups, to cooperate with colleges and universities, and foster interfraternal relationships.

Mission: The National Panhellenic Conference exists to promote the values of and to serve as an advocate for its member groups in collaboration with those members, campuses and communities.

Vision: The National Panhellenic Conference will be the premier advocacy and support organization for its members, member groups, college and alumnae panhellenics and a proponent of women's fraternity membership.
Function of NPC: Each NPC member group is equally represented by a Delegate and up to three Alternate Delegates. Each member group is allowed one vote, and the Delegate casts the vote. The Delegate acts as liaison between her sorority and the other NPC groups. In order to conduct business, this delegate body meets annually. The delegates function year round as members of NPC committees, the largest being the Alumnae Panhellenics Committee and the College Panhellenics Committee.
