Panhellenic sets the standards that the five sororities at Gannon abide by concerning such things as hazing and the recruitment process. NPC, the National Panhellenic Conference was founded in 1902 and is an umbrella organization for 26 sororities including Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Alpha Sigma Tau, Phi Sigma Sigma, and Sigma Sigma Sigma which are the sororities at Gannon University.
Panhellenic exists to embrace a unifying experience in the Social Greek Community. We stand for good scholarship, for guarding of good health, 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 guides our fraternity activities. Panhellenic sets up uniform practices to provide a safe, fun, and efficient environment.
The Panhellenic Council is the governing body for the five NPC sororities at Gannon. Panhellenic works closely with the Interfraternity Council to develop Greek programs such as Greek Olympics, Greek Week, and many service projects. The Panhellenic Council is comprised of officers who are elected each year. Each chapter has a delegate and an alternate delegate that represents them and serves on the Panhellenic Committees. Council members attend weekly meetings to discuss programs and activities of their chapters and as a whole and report back to their chapters. The Panhellenic Council coordinates the rush (recruitment) process for the five sororities through the Formal Recruitment process in the spring and open houses during the fall. There are six chairs that represent the Panhellenic Executive Board and each sorority has representatives that hold these offices to make Panhellenic and Greek Life at Gannon run smoothly to promote Greek Relations to both the Greek Community and Gannon Community as a whole.
Panhellenic believes that Fraternity is a social experience based on the fundamental right of a free people to form voluntary associations. Fraternity is an enrichment of college life that many collegians participate in.
