Panhellenic Council

Every woman who joins a sorority becomes a member of the Panhellenic Association. It is Panhellenic that unites every chapter woman regardless of individual chapter affiliation. Panhellenic originated to:

  • Unite chapter women.
  • Strengthen their values, and
  • Establish common goals.

During recruitment, Panhellenic takes an active role in coordinating all aspects of the recruitment process-including the organizing, programming, and scheduling of recruitment events.

The Panhellenic Creed

We, as Undergraduate Members of women's fraternities, stand for good scholarship, for guarding of good health, for maintenance of fine standards, and for serving, to the best of our ability, our college community. Cooperation for furthering fraternity life, in harmony with its best possibilities, is the ideal that shall guide our fraternity activities.

We, as Fraternity Women, stand for service through the development of character inspired by the close contact and deep friendship of individual fraternity and Panhellenic life. The opportunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which we strive to live.

Quotes from Valpo's Greek Life Community

My experience in Greek life has provided me with the opportunity to develop everlasting relationships and a chance to define myself over and over again.
-Megan Bawden, Gamma Phi Beta

Greek life has given me the opportunity not only learn leadership and service, but to build amazing friendships.
-Jill Lyons, Gamma Phi Beta

My sisters are the people in my life that keep me smiling and pushing to work harder and do better, not only for myself but for others.
-Lindsay McGuire, Gamma Phi Beta

The wide variety of leadership opportunities and philanthropy events that I have been able to be involved with on campus are countless because of my involvement with my sorority. Being involved in Greek life opens endless doors for personal growth and development.
-Carissa Redeker, Gamma Phi Beta

I joined a sorority looking for all of the benefits; the promises of friendship and fun.  What I’ve found, however, has proved to be even more valuable. Greek life has challenged me to succeed in school work, to be more involved in the community, and to be a better leader. I know that life will continue to challenge me, and as it does I will have friendship and love of my sisters to support me along the way.
-Rachel Christiansen, Gamma Phi Beta
