DEIA
The Panhellenic Council is committed to fostering a more inviting and diverse Panhellenic community. We acknowledge historically that our organization and our chapters have predominantly consisted of white women. We understand the need to confront racial, economic, and social inequities in addition to the overall absence of diversity in our community. We aim to empower Panhellenic women while actively addressing these issues.
Land Acknowledgement
Northeastern's Boston Campus occupies the land of the Massachusetts and Wampanoag Peoples. Panhellenic Council would like to pay our respect to an honor these Indigenous peoples. We recognize their ancestors who belonged to, cared for, and protected this land.
