The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), founded in 1930, is a collaborative organization of nine historically African American, international Greek lettered fraternities and sororities. NPHC organizations have existed at UNO for over 75 years. Currently, UNO has six chapters belonging to NPHC on campus.
NPHC Membership
NPHC exists to promote unity, develop leadership, and instill a "service for live" philosophy in members. While these chapters are rooted in celebration of African American history and culture, anyone is welcome to join one of our 6 chapters.
Member organizations of the NPHC do not hold formal recruitment. Instead, these organizations have elected to participate in a process whereby interested persons reach out to particular representatives, as determined by the organization (Undergraduate Advisor, Chapter President, etc). This method allows the respective fraternity or sorority to engage in more intentional conversations with those who are purposeful in their desire for information and/or expression of membership interest.
To obtain more information about these fraternities and sororities and how to join, visit each chapter's individual website or contact unofsl@unomaha.edu.
