For over 150 years fraternities and sororities have been part of the student experience at the University of Richmond. Being a member of a fraternity or sorority provides a number of leadership experiences that help students engage in the University community and prepare for life after college.
Panhellenic Council (PHC) is the governing council for the University of Richmond's women's sororities, associated with the National Panhellenic Conference. The Panhellenic Council is responsible for the implementation of educational programming, coordination of annual sorority recruitment in January, leadership development initiatives, and philanthropic and service events.
Interfraternity Council (IFC) is the governing council for University of Richmond men’s fraternities, most of which are associated with the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC). IFC plans and implements various educational and leadership programs for its chapter members, while also providing guidance for policy, procedure, recruitment, academic issues, and governance.
