National Pan-hellenic Council

The National Pan-Hellenic Council

The National Pan-Hellenic Council promotes, supports, and represents historically African American fraternities and sororities. Ohio Wesleyan has long standing relationships with several National Pan-Hellenic Council member organizations. However if no current chapter exists at OWU, the Fraternity and Sorority Life office can put students in contact with members of the following organizations upon request:

Omicron Rho, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity
Pi Gamma, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity
Iota Psi, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity
Nu Phi, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority
Beta Omicron Sigma, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority

While these organizations are non-residential at OWU, the University partners with Otterbein University and Capital University to encourage membership growth and breadth through Alumni Chapters and City-wide organizations. These organizations promote leadership, social, service, and philanthropic opportunities both during and beyond the collegiate experience.
