The National Panhellenic Conference is aware of recent media coverage regarding Delta Zeta Sorority, one of its member groups, and DePauw University.

The Panhellenic community on any campus is at its strongest when all chapters, their volunteer alumnae advisors, their respective national organizations, and the host institution work together to create an environment in which the students have an opportunity to develop friendships and learn life skills.

“In any situation there is an opportunity for misunderstanding and miscommunication,” explains NPC Chairman Elizabeth Quick. “All National Panhellenic Conference member groups offer an environment for their members to grow, give, lead and succeed. We support Delta Zeta Sorority and DePauw University in their efforts to seek a positive outcome.”

The National Panhellenic Conference, founded in 1902, is the coordinating organization for 26 inter/national women's fraternities and sororities. Each member group is autonomous as a social, Greek-letter society of college women and alumnae. Members are represented on over 620 college and university campuses in the United States and Canada and in over 4,600 alumnae associations, making up over 3.8 million sorority women in the world.
