Message From The President

Welcome to Panhellenic at the University of Washington! I'm thrilled to extend a warm greeting on behalf of our vibrant community, comprising 18 chapters and our dedicated Panhellenic Executive team. My name is Caprice Culkin, and I'm honored to serve as the 2024 Panhellenic President.

This community holds a special place in my heart, as it does for our 1800+ members. We're genuinely excited to connect with you, and I hope this message provides a glimpse into the incredible spirit of our organizations.

I can't contain my enthusiasm for your interest in Panhellenic. Our community is a mosaic of diverse, driven, and compassionate women. Each chapter is committed to empowering its members with the tools and experiences to evolve into resilient, thoughtful leaders during their time at the University of Washington. While each chapter has its unique character, we all share unwavering values of sisterhood, service, and academic excellence.

Reflecting on my own journey, arriving at the University of Washington was an adventure filled with uncertainty, especially coming from out of state. The prospect of navigating such a large university and living independently for the first time was both daunting and exhilarating. And let's not forget the mix of excitement and nerves as I contemplated sorority recruitment. Looking back, I can confidently say that both emotions were true.

However, what I discovered in this community surpassed my wildest expectations. I found not only lifelong friendships but also an unwavering support system that embraces and celebrates every individual. This community fosters a culture of personal growth and character development, encouraging each member to flourish. As someone who once called Colorado home for 18 years, I'm now proud to call Seattle my second home (sorry mom!), thanks to the friendships I've made in Panhellenic.

Whether you're just embarking on your journey at the University of Washington or are already on the path to graduation, know that there's a place for you in Panhellenic. Each chapter offers a nurturing sense of belonging that has been instrumental in my own UW experience. As you embark on this new chapter of your college journey, I invite you to explore the possibilities of Greek life. Regardless of your decision, please know that we hope to be a resource to you on your journey.

If I can offer you support or answer any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. My email is phpres@uw.edu.

Go Dawgs!

Caprice Culkin
