About the Durham Panhellenic Association
The Durham Panhellenic Association is an independent College Panhellenic Association, founded on Dec. 1, 2021 (view the news release). As an independent College Panhellenic Association, it is fully operational and recognized by the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) and the inter/national member organizations of the Durham Panhellenic’s member sorority chapters.
Though the Durham Panhellenic is independent of Duke University, it is still held to the same expectations and requirements of all other College Panhellenics. Moreover, NPC and its member organizations ensure the collegiate chapters continue to uphold requirements and are supplied with resources needed for success.
Ultimately, the Durham Panhellenic aims to provide transformational experiences to collegiate sorority members who are Duke students and advance initiatives that impact the larger campus culture.
