About
The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) is the Executive Board for nine international Greek letter fraternities and sororities; they are often referred to as "The Divine Nine”. The Southern Illinois University NPHC has five of the nine organizations.

In addition to providing a social outlet, NPHC organizations also provide a variety of initiatives designed to enrich the cultural experience of UA students.
