Greek Life

Berkeley Panhellenic Council is the governing body for 11 National Panhellenic Conference sororities and 1 local chapter sorority, representing nearly 2,000 members. Members attend weekly chapter meetings, cross-chapter study tables, philanthropy fundraisers, themed socials, and sisterhood events. Living in a chapter house is often expected for a year or two and typically costs less than Berkeley's average off-campus rent. The council promotes scholarship, service, leadership, and sisterhood.
