CPC

What is the College Panhellenic Council?

The College Panhellenic Council (CPC) at Southern Miss is the governing body for the eight National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) sororities on campus. CPC is responsible for setting all policies and regulations that concern our sorority community. The council is made up of eight executive board members, eight chapter presidents, and one voting representative from each sorority. CPC coordinates events on campus including educational programs/speakers, community service projects, and formal recruitment.

What chapters belong to the College Panhellenic Council?

The National Panhellenic Conference Creed

We, as undergraduate members of women's fraternities, stand for good scholarship, for guarding 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 through the development of character inspired by close contact and deep friendship of individual fraternity and Panhellenic life. The opportunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which we strive to live.

Panhellenic Code of Ethics

Whereas membership in Greek letter organizations should be based on the highest moral and scholastic standards, we as a Panhellenic Council seek to pursue the growth of our minds by upholding honorable ideals attainable through the common experiences of sisterhood. We pledge our support to the betterment of college women through education and leadership training so they may be a benefit to the greater community and their alma mater. WE are a group of individual women with a variety of personalities striving to live up to our ideals in the individual, chapter, and Panhellenic levels. With this common goal, we respect each other and all sororities who want to operate in an environment in which we can become educated, upstanding women of virtue.
