The National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc., was organized in May, 1930 at Howard University in Washington, D.C.  The charter members were Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, and Zeta Phi Beta.  The National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc., is currently composed of nine historically black National Greek letter sororities and fraternities:  Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.  The stated purpose of the organization is “unanimity of thought and action as far as possible in the conduct of Greek letter collegiate fraternities and sororities, and to consider problems of mutual interest to its members organization.”

At Winthrop, we strive to uphold the visions of our Founders and the legacies of our beloved organizations through Community Service, Scholarship, and Campus Involvement.
