College Panhellenic Council. That's how it's referred to at some schools instead of just "Panhel."

I read that article and I also think it's ridiculous to have an NPHC member acting as a recruitment counselor for NPC groups, whether she's black, white, or purple. The NPHC method of rush is the exact opposite of the NPC's! I guess they were trying to do something positive, but this is so misguided.

The question though(and maybe you are not referring to the article) are the CPC sororities not affiliated with the NPC?

**Edit**

Answered my own question went back and reread the article. I got thrown off with the question.

That sounds like what I used to hear during new student week at some universities (before MCGLOs and LGLOs became "the thing"):

"We have (insert #) wonderful sororities and 4 history Black ones."

No, beyotch, you have (insert #) wonderful sororities which includes 4 historically Black sororities.

As Peggy McIntosh would say "now, now, 33girl, there aren't any purple people and we don't need to create them to get the point across."

Right, that's what I was thinking. Granted, one might want the NPHC to be a different tab because it includes both fraternities and sororities, but if that's the case, do CPC Sororities (or NPC), NPHC Fraternities and Sororities, and IFC Fraternities (I wouldn't use NIC because NPHC fraternities are members of the NIC, but - something).

If you're going to qualify ONE group, qualify ALL groups. It just strikes me as weird.
