About the Panhellenic Council
The University of Pennsylvania Panhellenic Council is comprised of 7 women’s fraternities* and sororities.
*It’s important to note that some Panhellenic organizations which use the name ‘fraternity’ are still women’s organizations. In many cases, this is because the term ‘sorority’ was not invented until 1874.
