Our Governing Councils

The University of Texas at Tyler is home to many inter/national fraternities and sororities. These fraternities and sororities are governed on campus by councils that are comprised of current active members in the represented groups. These councils are the College Panhellenic Council (CPC) and the Interfraternity Council (IFC),  National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), and our Multicultural Greek Council (MGC).

Our Current Councils 

College Panhellenic Council (CPC)

The College Panhellenic Council (CPC) governs the Panhellenic Association at UT Tyler, which includes women's fraternal organizations recognized nationally by the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC). Founded in 1902, NPC is the national governing body for the 26 women’s fraternities and sororities. Three NPC sororities are active on the UT Tyler campus: Alpha Chi Omega, Delta Gamma, and Zeta Tau Alpha. The CPC and its executive board establish and maintain the constitution and bylaws for the chapters, plan formal recruitment and maintain unity within the sorority community.

There is alumni counterpart for the Tyler area, the Tyler Area Alumnae Panhellenic. Their stated goal is to assist women with the Panhellenic recruitment process
