The National Panhellenic Conference is planning a celebration open to all members April 22-23, 2005 at the Beekman Tower Hotel in New York City. NPC will present a plaque to the hotel to commemorate its 75thanniversary. In 1921, the 3,000-member New York Chapter of the Panhellenic Association decided to erect a clubhouse to provide permanent and temporary living accommodations for sorority women looking to enter the workforce. The Panhellenic Association raised $1,600,000 by selling bonds to the members. Philanthropist Emily Easton Hepburn invested in the Panhellenic Association in 1926 and became the majority stockholder in the project. She selected 3 Mitchell Place at First Avenue and East 49thStreet as the site for the new building. Originally purchased in her own name, Ms. Hepburn turned the property over tothe Panhellenic Association in 1928. The hotel was opened as the Panhellenic Tower and the Greek alphabet was carved into bricks near the entrance to the hotel. The cornerstone contained a listing and history of the Panhellenic Association fraternities. The Panhellenic Tower was a headquarters for the New York City club and was used for initiations, banquets, dances and meetings. The building was designated a landmark by the Landmark Commission because it was an excellent example of Art Deco architecture and because it was built by women for women. The building was sold to the founder of Affinia Hospitality in1964, renamed as the Beekman Tower and transformed into an all-suite property. Affinia is a collection of luxury and business hotels throughout New York City. A special “Sisters in the City” package is open to all Panhellenic members from mid-June through August 31, 2005. Reservations can be made by calling 1-866-AFFINIA or online at
