Mentorship and Support Provided by Sorority Alumnae
Alumnae play a large role in the success of NPC organizations. Some alumnae work with local chapters and others volunteer at the regional or national level to support collegiate members. This takes different forms, but is ultimately a relationship of mentorship.
Profressional Benefits of Joining a Sorority
National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) sororities are social organizations, but they also provide leadership training and career development opportunities for their members. One of the priorities of each organization is to provide its members with the necessary skills to thrive in a professional environment.
How Sororities Help Members Achieve Academic Goals
Joining a sorority allows members to create fun memories and grow as women. But, sorority women are students first. Academic achievement is a top priority for Panhellenic organizations, and every chapter has its own way of helping members succeed in school.
