What is Panhellenic?
College Panhellenic associations are established on campuses where there are at least two National Panhellenic Conference chapters. Each chapter has a designated person (Panhellenic Delegate) who attends weekly Panhellenic Council meetings. Panhellenic Councils exist to develop and maintain sorority life and interfraternal relations. They take part in all-sorority programming efforts and often promote superior scholarship, leadership development, and dissemination of information important to women in general. The Panhellenic Council is the coordinating body for all sorority recruiting events.
Panhellenic Creed
We, as Undergraduate Members of Women’s Fraternities, stand for good scholarship,
for guarding of good health, for maintenance of fine standards, and for serving, to
the best of our ability, our college community. Cooperation for furthering fraternity
life, in harmony with its best possibilities, is the ideal that shall guide our fraternity
activities.
We, as Fraternity Women, stand for service through the development of character inspired
by the close contact and deep friendship of individual fraternity and Panhellenic life.
The opportunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness,
is the tenet by which we strive to live.
Greek Pillars
ACADEMICS
Sororities concentrate on creating successful scholarship programs that help each
member reach her academic goals. These programs include study halls, academic mentors,
study files and support technology. Chapters take great pride in their academic efforts
and encourage their members to make education a top priority. Because of this strong
commitment to scholarship, the all-sorority average GPA consistently exceeds the OSU
undergraduate all-women’s average. The Panhellenic GPA for the fall 2023 semester
was a 3.503 while the all non-greek undergraduate women's GPA was 3.249
LEADERSHIP
Sorority women and fraternity men hold more than half of the leadership positions
on the Oklahoma State University campus. Not only do sorority women seek out leadership
positions on campus, but they also assume leadership roles within the individual chapters
and in the Panhellenic community as a whole. Sororities encourage active involvement
in campus organizations and foster the skills necessary for their members to become
strong leaders. Additional leadership development programming within the chapters
promotes interaction with fraternity and sorority alumni and other community leaders
who can help build a foundation for success after graduation.
PHILANTHROPY
Sorority involvement in community service is a priority among all chapters at OSU.
Sorority women contribute volunteer efforts and monetary donations to a number of
worthwhile local and national organizations, some of which are highlighted on the
sorority profile pages of this booklet. The Panhellenic Association heavily supports
many local philanthropies and participates in other campus wide service projects.
These provide OSU sorority women the opportunity to grow as civic-minded leaders.
In 2022, students raised nearly a quarter of a million dollars and gave more than
50,000 hours of their time.
SISTERHOOD
At Oklahoma State, sororities enable young women to establish strong friendships that
last far beyond their college years. Affiliation provides members with an opportunity
to interact with other students of all ages, backgrounds, and interests. Members meet
a diverse group of people within the Greek community and other students organizations.
Membership offers a network of support while students are making the transition to
college life.
Panhellenic Strategic Plan
In 2021, the Panhellenic Executive team developed a strategic plan with three main goals to advance our community.
- Cultivate a Sense of Belonging
- Member Development, Engagement, and Health
- Cross Council and Campus Collaboration
These act as a cornerstone to help guide current and future Panhellenic leaders in
their efforts to create a more inclusive campus. Working together, we can cultivate
an environment where everyone feels valued, and where women can become great leaders
and instill confidence in one another. As part of Panhellenic, we have the opportunity
to support each other; we are not 13 individual chapters living alongside each other,
but one community brought together by common values.
When this plan was created, your Panhellenic experience was our greatest consideration.
Because of this, we are confident that there is a place for you. Through the recruitment
process, I hope you find the women who will support you, inspire you, and stand by
your side throughout your time at Oklahoma State and life afterward. I have no doubt
there is a home for you in our Panhellenic community!
Emily | President, Panhellenic Council 2024
