HC Panhellenic
The Panhellenic Council is the governing body of all of the NPC sororities on a college campus. We are committed to relationships built on trust through transparency, accountability, and mutual respect. The Council comprises the members who serve on the executive council and one delegate from each Panhellenic Chapter.
What is THE Panhellenic Council?
What is greek life?
Collectively referred to as “Greek life,” fraternities and sororities are value-based, undergraduate organizations that are mainly associated with colleges and universities. At their core, they provide academic support and help young college students develop social and leadership skills.
Greek Life: Where dreams come true
Greek Life: Where dreams come true
Nearly 50 percent of Hanover’s students are affiliated with one of our fraternity and sorority chapters. Membership in a sorority or fraternity is a great way to accelerate your college experience. The values espoused by fraternities and sororities exist in close harmony with the principles of Hanover College. Chapters enhance the Hanover College community by providing unique opportunities for growth in academic and leadership ability, developing individual accountability, and clarifying and enhancing personal values.
