Members of the Organizations are Scary
There is nothing to fear or be afraid of when it comes to black Greeks. We are regular individuals like you, and we always try to help in any way we can.

The National Pan-Hellenic Council has a long and illustrious history, as well as a distinguished alumni base. While the foundation's members may have individual letters and colors, the organization's goal is to bring the African American community together.
We're also here to positively contribute to the community and connect with the next generation.

Above all, I hope we stay true to our traditions, ideas, and values.
Conceited Partiers

African-Americans Only

This is not true. They serve every race, and people of every race are eligible to be a part of them. There is no discrimination, and their goal is to help anyone and everyone who is in need.
