About National Pan-Hellenic Council of Dallas
The Dallas Metroplex representative chapters of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., and Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. recognizing the need for coordination of activities of Alumni Greek-Lettered fraternities and sororities and recognizing that there are certain areas of actions and programming that can best be carried out by the joint efforts of all such organizations and believing that these needs can best be realized by a formal organization, bind ourselves to form the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc. of Dallas.
The stated purpose and mission of the organization in 1930 was "Unanimity of thought and action as far as possible in the conduct of Greek letter collegiate fraternities and sororities, and to consider problems of mutual interest to its member organizations." Early in 1937, the organization was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois and became known as "The National Pan-Hellenic Council, Incorporated."
