In 1902 Alpha Phi invited Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa
Gamma, Delta Gamma, Gamma Phi Beta, Delta Delta Delta, Alpha Chi Omega
and Chi Omega to a conference in Chicago on May 24; Alpha Chi Omega
and Chi Omega were not able to attend.
The session resulted in the organization of the first interfraternity
association and the first inter-group organization on college campuses.
This group formed the National Panhellenic
Conference (NPC).
There are currently 26 member groups whose representatives meet annually.
NPC is an organization established to foster interfraternity relationships,
to assist collegiate chapters of the NPC member groups and to cooperate
with the colleges and universities in maintaining the highest scholastic
standards. Detailed NPC
standards are posted on the NPC Web site.
