NPHC Columbia SC
History
The Columbia Pan Hellenic Council was chartered on June 8, 1960. Members of four sororities and four fraternities began meetings in the mid-1950s. The first draft of the Bylaws and Constitution was created September 21, 1958. There have been many revisions since that time, but the purposes have remained the same:
-
To consider problems of mutual interest-cultural, social and civic.
-
To make recommendations to the members of the sororities and fraternities.
-
To serve as a clearing house for programs and projects sponsored by the member organizations.
