WHAT IS HPC?
Houston Panhellenic Council is a part of the National Panhellenic Conference, one of the largest organizations advocating for women and an umbrella organization for 26 social sororities and women’s fraternities. Our mission as an organization is guided by our Panhellenic creed, as well as 4 purposes; we are leaders, we are students, we are philanthropists, and we are sisters.
OUR VALUES
We are Houston Panhellenic.
LEADERSHIP
We are Leaders.
As Panhellenic women, we empower each other to serve in leadership roles and equip women with skills for a lifetime. Panhellenic women serve in many different leadership capacities across campus and the greater Houston community. From serving in roles within chapters and across the Panhellenic community to engaging in other campus organizations, Panhellenic women take every opportunity to be involved and give back to campus.
PHILANTHROPY
We are Philanthropists.
Philanthropy is defined by the desire to help people, solve problems, and support meaningful causes through generosity and public initiatives. Every year, our organizations give thousands of dollars and numerous hours to philanthropies and those in need. In addition, sororities dedicate time to participate in community service and bond together over their mutual love of giving back.
ACADEMICS
We are Students.
Not only are we Greek members, but we are also University of Houston students. Studies have shown that students who are members of sororities and fraternities are more likely to graduate compared to students who are not affiliated. We motivate each other to succeed scholastically for our future careers. It's having a support system to keep each other accountable to be involved on campus, but also study and work to reach our academic goals.
SISTERHOOD
We are Sisters.
Find your home away from home with your sorority membership. Sisterhood is different from friendship. It is holding the same values at heart, a love for your organization and a common ritual that bonds you to thousands of women across the world. Being a sister is there for you no matter the circumstance, whether to talk to each other every day or to support one another as alum. Make lifelong connections and friendships which will make your University of Houston experience unforgettable.
