Founded in 1909, the National Interfraternity Conference is an association
composed of 58 men’s social fraternities. The Conference operates
a central office in Indianapolis, Indiana and meets annually with one delegate

The purpose of the NIC, as stated in its constitution, is "the discussion
of questions of mutual interest and presenting to the fraternities represented,
such recommendations as the Conference shall deem wise, it being understood
that the function of the conference shall be purely advisory."

Twenty-six women’s fraternities and sororities comprise the National
Panhellenic Conference. Founded in 1902, the NPC is an organization "established
to foster interfraternity relationships, to assist collegiate chapter of
the NPC members groups, and to cooperate with colleges and universities
in maintaining the highest scholastic and social standards."
The Conference serves primarily in an advisory capacity and as a final
court of appeal for college and alumnae Panhellenics. The NPC formulates
policies and recommendations at its biennial meeting where each member’s
fraternity has one vote. The central office of the NPC is located in Indianapolis,
Indiana. |
