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?
