How to Join

National Pan-Hellenic Council

The NPHC chapters on Vanderbilt’s campus seek to continue the traditions of excellence and involvement with campus life since their joining campus over 50 years ago. Throughout the fall and spring semester, potential members will have the opportunity to learn about and engage with current and alumni members of NPHC organizations.

Recruitment Overview

Each affiliate organization will implement its respective internationally sanctioned membership intake process. NPHC chapters will advertise their membership intake process through fliers labeled “Interest Meeting, Informational, Rush Tea or Meet N’ Greet”, which all students are welcome to attend to learn more about an organization or express interest.

These fliers will always be posted outside of the Greek Life office or on social media (if allowed) no less than a week before said meeting. To learn more about NPHC organizations, interested students are encouraged to research their individual organization and chapter websites, follow organizations on social media, and attend various events hosted by NPHC organizations on campus.
