The Council The Panhellenic Council consists of executive board members at each university or college. Each institution holds different executive positions based on the size of the institution and the NPC relationship with the institution as well. The basic positions that are at each institution are President, VP of Communications, VP of Finance, VP of Philanthropy and Community Service, VP of Programming, VP of Recruitment, VP of Scholarship, and VP of Judicial. The number of positions is based on the number of NPC sororities that are at each institution. Along with the delegates each being a representative from their sorority, the executive board is filled with a member from each sorority as well.
