NATIONAL PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL
The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) serves as the
governing council for nine historically African American
fraternities and sororities, eight of which are currently
represented at Clemson University. The council fosters
interaction and collaboration among its organizations
through student development, social activities,
community engagement and service initiatives.
Each NPHC fraternity and sorority brings in new
members at various times of the year through a process
called Membership Intake. These organizations are
permitted to conduct intake based on the chapters’
schedule and/or their need for growth. Some organizations
conduct intake each semester; others only do so once
a year.
NPHC hosts an information session about its
organization’s requirements and expectations of
membership at the beginning of each semester known
as NPHC Orientation. Learn more at
