Panhellenic Council
The Panhellenic Council is the governing body of all of the NPC sororities on a college campus. We are committed to relationships built on trust through transparency, accountability, and mutual respect. Innovation and our core values of friendship, leadership, service, knowledge, integrity, and community guide us in fulfilling our mission. The Council comprises the members who serve on the executive council and one delegate from each Panhellenic Chapter.
You must follow National Panhellenic guidelines and values to be considered a Panhellenic Chapter. This group is in charge of streamlining communications from each chapter to another, voting on bylaws, and evaluating the health and morale of the community. The executive council sits in on this overarching group and has other duties as the executive council, independent of the delegates. At Marietta, our Panhellenic council comprises five executive Positions: President, Vice President, Recruitment Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer.

Sorority Recruitment
Hello Everyone!
My name is Grace Wharton and I am your director of recruitment for the fall! I am so excited to meet all of you and assist you while you’re going through primary recruitment. Going through recruitment is more than just picking a sorority, it is finding a new home! This will bring lifelong sisters who share a bond that goes far beyond your four years at Marietta College. Greek life is a wonderful way to get involved, make new connections, and gain leadership experiences. This will be an opportunity for you to find your place in Marietta! Our Greeks make up a community of sorority and fraternity women and men who cultivate a strong support system together on campus. We are so excited to meet you and help you find your home!
Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions!
Fraternally,
Grace Wharton
