NPC: The Voice for Sorority Advancement

It is indeed an honor to greet you as the 2013-15 NPC chairman. I look forward to opportunities in the months ahead to advocate collaborate and educate on behalf of the Conference, which includes the following:

• 26 member groups
• 569 College Panhellenics
• 3,883 alumnae associations
• 3,127 undergraduate chapters
• 325,772 collegians
• Over 4 million initiated members

The refreshed NPC logo and tagline were introduced last year. The tagline, “The voice for sorority advancement,” describes NPC as the authority that owns its value. No one else can speak for us. “Sorority advancement” indicates that we have a shared vision to move the organization forward.

For the past few years, NPC has focused internally with changes in organizational structure to best address the needs of the entire Conference. The next few years will involve advocacy that relates to reaching external audiences. This requires additional training on and marketing of the NPC brand and its benefits.

Women in our NPC sororities are the best brand ambassadors to spread the good news about sorority membership. It is up to each of us to tell our stories and shape our message for good.

• Who is NPC? We are one of the largest women’s organizations in the world.
• What do we do? “We stand for good scholarship, for guarding of good health, for maintenance of fine standards … and for serving our college community.” We donate time and money to benefit local causes and charities.
• How do we do it? The NPC creed states that “Cooperation for furthering fraternity life with its best possibilities, is the ideal that shall guide our fraternity activities.”

There are golden opportunities each day to shape our message as sorority women. We have a shared commitment based on common values and high standards. Let us move forward together and lift up entire university communities by modeling the way and exude all that our founders dreamed we would be.

On behalf of the NPC Executive Committee, I invite our NPC family and colleagues to join us in our mission to achieve desirable outcomes. NPC is indeed “the premier advocacy and support organization for the advancement of the sorority experience.”
