Sharing expe- riences is a great way for members to learn from one another. J yT NPHC believes every member in its rank is already a pro en leader. From this assumption they set out to im- prove the community, the country and the world. NPHC expects all of its fraternities and sororities to possess community service and have a strong history of working for their respective com- munities, churches and schools.

Lead and Unite The National Pan-Hellenic Council was formed in 1930 at Howard University, Washington D.C. and serves as the governing organization of the eight historically black greek letter organizations. The first charter members were: KA and Q O fraternities and AKA, AI0 and ZOB so- rorities. Through the years National Pan-Hellenic Coun- cil has grown to include eight affiliate organizations. Each organization has pledged to de- vote their collective resources and services in an effort to enhance communities throughout the nation and world. Despite the diversity inherent in the individual groups, the NPHC provides the forum and impetus for ad- dressing issues of mutual con- cern. The University of Geor- gia is home to seven out of the eight National Pan-Hellenic organizations. All of the orga- nizations strive to make a dif- ference on the campus and in the community. The NPHC organizations help individu- als to sharpen their ability to instruct and lead people of various diverse backgrounds and culture orientations. NPHC fraternities and sororities do not participate in UGA ' s rush pro- £ cess. They have their own indi- g vidual membership processes that 5 are prescribed by their National or- i ganizations There are various ways of express- ing interest in particular NPHC or- ganizations. They include intro- ducing yourself to members, be- coming familiar with projects, pro- grams and social events. Interested parties may also speak with the NPHC Advisor located in Memo- rial Hall.
