Panhellenic 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 the 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."

The Panhellenic Association at the University of Washington is made up of 17 of the 26 sororities who are members of the National Panhellenic Conference, which began in 1902. Since then, the Panhellenic Association has been nurturing community, leadership, academics, sisterhood and service throughout our campus Greek Community.

The Panhellenic Executive Board is the governing council of the seventeen women's sororities at the University of Washington and is made up of ten women who represent these organizations, all working together to further develop and enrich our Greek community. The executive council is responsible for planning all Greek philanthropic events, hosting roundtable discussions and speakers on important campus issues, educating members about policies and procedures, and overseeing recruitment.
