About The Panhellenic Council


The Panhellenic (meaning “all Greek”) Council is the coordinating body of all sororities at the University of Western Ontario . It is composed of a board of officers and delegates, with representatives from all five of the sororities at Western. Our combined membership consists of over 250 women, and attracts women of all religious, socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. Together, the Panhellenic Council makes important decisions regarding sorority events at UWO, the most important of which being Recruitment in the fall.

Each sorority is an international organization with local branches, called chapters, on campuses throughout North America . For over 70 years , Western's sororities have been a cornerstone of student life at the University of Western Ontario . The five individual chapters located in London encourage their members to take part in all aspects of Western life and joining a sorority remains one of the best ways to get involved and meet people on campus.

Each sorority provides its members with a well-rounded university experience through leadership, scholarship, social, and philanthropic opportunities, as well as providing a lifetime of membership benefits. The sorority system encompasses all aspects of university life: philanthropy, diversity, friendship, community and scholarship.

The bond which holds this diverse group of women together is based upon the goal to provide every woman a supportive, educational and safe environment. Being a member of a sorority allows women to explore their strengths and talents, while maintaining a high standard of excellence.
