National Pan-Hellenic Council

UNC Charlotte is home to eight historically African-American fraternities and sororities that are governed by the UNC Charlotte chapter of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc. These organizations are service-oriented and conduct philanthropic events and hands-on community projects throughout Charlotte. NPHC promotes interaction through forums, meetings, activities, community service, and other mediums for the exchange of information and engages in cooperative programming and initiatives through various activities and functions.

How to Join an NPHC fraternity or sorority:

Each NPHC fraternity and sorority brings in new members at various times of the year through a process call Membership Intake. Each NPHC group has different requirements for membership, and each conducts intake on its own schedule. Some organizations conduct intake each semester; others do so only once a year. When organizations are looking to conduct Membership Intake, many of them will host an informational meeting in which the criteria for membership are explained. These are usually publicized via flyers on campus. NPHC will host a general informational about all of its organizations for students who have questions or are unsure about the intake process. This event is called “Meet the Greeks” and is held in the fall semester.

Requirements to Join an NPHC organization:

Typically, a student must have attained a collegiate GPA of 2.5 or higher, community service experience, and involvement in clubs or community activities. Nevertheless, each NPHC organization has its own requirements set by their (inter)national organization and UNC Charlotte chapter. Please contact the UNC Charlotte chapter that you are interested in to find out their requirements.
