The Wake Forest Panhellenic Council is the governing body of the seven National Panhellenic sororities on campus, as well as the Associate Member sorority (Kappa Beta Gamma). The Wake Forest Panhellenic Council promotes excellence in academics, community service, campus involvement, and sisterhood. The bond of sisterhood is a special relationship that all sorority women share in their individual chapters and together as a Panhellenic community. We are committed to the vision of creating respectful young women of service. We are not a governing body, we are a supporting body. Have ideas for us? We'd love to hear them!
