Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment Registration

The National Panhellenic Conference exists to promote the values
of and to serve as an advocate for its member groups in
collaboration with those members, campuses and communities.

We, as Undergraduate Members of Women's fraternities, stand for
good scholarship, for gaurding of good health, for 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
shall guide our fraternity activities.

We as Fraternity Women, stand for service throught he
development of character inspred by the close contact and deep
friendship of individual fraternity, and Panhellenic life. The
opportunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual
respect and helfullness, is the tenent by which we strive to
live.

The sheild is a protective influence for our entire membership.
The lamp denotes leadership, scholarship and enlightenment.
The laurel wreath signifies victory, or achievement of ideals.
While the sword piercing the wreath indicates willingness to
fight for ideals, symbolizin, too, penalty of obligation; also
bravery, achievement and discipline.
The mantling surrounding the sheild is the protecting cloak that
education gives us, and a protective influience or organization.
Thus ther eis the mantly is inscribed the name of the National
Panhellenic Conference.

This we believe:

Fraternity: Fraternity is a social experience based on the
fundamental right of a free people to vorm voluntary
associations. It is one of the enrichments of college life.

Mutual Choice: The young women who wants fraternity experience
will find it possible to belong on most campuses today.
Fraternity membership is a social experience arrived at by
mutual choice and selection. Fraternity membership is by
invitation.

Fraternities Exist Because They:
-Provide good democratic social experience.
-Give value beyond college years.
-Create,through their ideals, and ever-widening circle of
service beyond the membership.
-Develop the individual's potential through leadership
opportunities and group effort.
-Fill the need of belonging.

Fraternities Continue Because: Young women feel a continuing
need to belong. Parents appreciate fraternity values and
standards and cooperate to make membership poossible. College
administrations, recognizing the values of fraternities,
continue to welcome them on their campuses and to invite them to
establish new chapters.
