The National Pan-Hellenic Council, Incorporated is currently composed of nine (9) International Greek letter Fraternities and Sororities. The NPHC promotes interaction through forums, meetings and other mediums for the exchange of information and engages in cooperative programming and initiatives through various activities and functions.

The National Pan-Hellenic Council was organized on May 10, 1930 at Howard University, in Washington, D.C. with a stated purpose of 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 organization.

The NPHC serves as the governing council for all fraternities and sororities recognized by the National Pan-Hellenic Council – York College - CUNY.

York College has a zero-tolerance policy against hazing. 

Hazing violates campus regulations, the Student Code of Conduct, chapter rules and sometimes city and state laws. Hazing is defined as any forced action that could possibly endanger the mental, physical, or emotional health or safety of a student. 

A failure to address and/or report an act of hazing committed against another individual may also be considered an abuse of power and a violation of this policy.

For immediate assistance, call York College Campus Police at 718-262-2222.

Specific questions and reports of hazing should be directed to the Office of Student Activities at 718-262-2446 or by emailing Mr. Joery Francois.
