Evidently you're blind then, because Shelia is one of the less critical mods. (And I'm not stating that to offend other mods, just to be clear...)

Can we have PLEASE have a thread without bashing and name calling (that includes providing links to photos). If someone posts something you disagree with, then state it in an appropriate posst. The vast majority of people on this board have at one time or another attended college, so can we please act like it. Name calling only ends up with a thread full of back and forths, and sidetracking from the original post (or in this case sub-post)

Here at San Diego State, our Greek Life office uses the following terms:

IFC - Interfraternity Council - "General Social Fraternities"

NPC - Panhellenic Council - "General Social Sororities"

USFC - United Sorority and Fraternity Council - "Culturally Based Sororities and Fraternities"

NPHC - National Pan-Hellenic Council - "Historically African-American Fraternities and Sororities"

This is the terminology I use when describing the options to students who are interested in Greek Life.

Perhaps this will help answer some of the questions posed here?


.....Kelly :)

Those are fair descriptions! Thank you :)

And now we welcome you to GC. It doesn't happen. Get over it.

Your level of maturity is overwhelming! And thanks for the welcome, but I've been here for a while, I just don't post too often.

If you've been here for awhile, then you should know, however many times someone tries to say "stop name calling" and "stay on topic" it just doesn't happen. It has nothing to do with my maturity, I'm stating a fact. It is a fact that many threads on GC do not stick to topic and end up in name calling. It has been addressed before, nothing is going to change. GET OVER IT.

That is all.

I have a question about pronouncing. I can tell the difference when NPC and NPHC are typed out or in acryoms, but what about the actual way you say the words.
Everyone around my campus pronounced the two councils eqactly the same way... which can be confusing.

At least I've got the guts to reveal my affliation. And if you'd bother to search my posts I can be friendly - to people who don't attack my sister. And if any of my sisters have a problem with my representation, I'm sure they'll let me know.

I love it when lurkers come out of the shadows for the sole purpose of starting up shit.

I thought this thread was great with Alphababy, but I was wrong.

And once again, I <3 33girl.

I believe NPC is National Panhellenic conference and NPHC is National Pan-Hellenic council or is it the other way around?

NPHC is a council. when i say the pan-hellenic part, i add a little pause after pan. don't know if that's officially correct, but that's how many say it on my old campus.
