Greek Letter Organizations

Greek Letter Organizations Policy Statement

Because of the special nature of Greek letter organizations (general sororities), Texas Woman’s University has established a Greek staff to maintain relationships with organizations such as the National Panhellenic Council (NPC) and National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) in order to strengthen campus Greek Life. Initial recognition of a fraternity or sorority will be based on criteria formulated by the Division of Student Life and is subject to approval by the Vice President of Student Life/Associate Vice President of Student Life. Such criteria will be consistent with the university’s goals and will be in accordance with the bylaws of the NPHC, NPC, IFC (Intra-Fraternity Council), or NALFO (National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations). All Greek letter organizations must be admitted to and in good standing with NPHC, NPC, NALFO and IFC before being eligible to charter their student organization. The only exceptions to this policy are Alpha Theta Omega and Sigma Lambda Alpha, which have a long and consistent history with Texas Woman’s University. These are and will be the only recognized local Greek letter organizations at Texas Woman’s University.
