Pan-Hellenic

[GtownGirl98]

Help me figure something out... please. I have noticed a lot lately that GLOs are using the hyphenated version of the word Pan-Hellenic. In all my style books, this version is used to indicate the governing body of historically black sororities... am I wrong on this? Is it no longer PC to refer to non-historically black sororities as Panhellenic? Or is the hyphenated version being used to title all non-NPC goverening bodies?

Example:
Georgetown (my school) had been using Pan-Hellenic when referring to our NPC groups. I think that the reason for this is that Microsoft Word doesn't have the non hyphenated version in the spell check. And the new greek life director wasn't greek (at least that is what I was told).

Another Example:
This is from the website of Kappa Beta Gamma "Currently, Kappa Beta Gamma is actively looking to increase its numbers to become Pan-Hellenic affiliated. The sorority is recruiting both inactive and new chapters to expand our sorority's ideals and provide more leadership opportunities for women" From what I can tell this is not a historically black sorority.

So please educate me in the use of these words. Is there still a difference in which group you are meaning by the form of the word used?
