Governing Councils

Each organization is governed by a council. These councils are the coordinating and governing body for their affiliated organizations. There are four councils advised by fraternity and sorority life staff.

College Panhellenic Council (CPH)

The Panhellenic Council (CPH) serves as a governing body for sororities at Hofstra University. CPH's purpose is to foster the spirit of friendliness, cooperation, and goodwill and promote scholarship among the member organizations. Contact CPH at panhellenic@pride.hofstra.edu.

Professional Fraternity Council

The Professional Fraternity Council (PFC) serves as a convening body for the professional/coed/special interest fraternities and sororities at Hofstra University. PFC is responsible for promoting and enhancing the professional interests of its member chapters, coordinating council-wide programs, and serving as a forum for sharing ideas and information.

Unrecognized Organizations

Greek life at Hofstra is a vital part of our community with a long history of fostering fellowship, leadership development, and community service. Hofstra actively supports recognized Greek organizations in their efforts to the community on and off campus.

We would like to advise all students, parents, and guardians that there are groups that are not recognized by the University. For your own well-being, you should not affiliate with any unrecognized Greek or other student organizations. Hofstra University does not advise or control the actions of any unrecognized groups. Inactive and unrecognized Greek chapters are not permitted to recruit, hold events, or induct new members. If you have any questions about whether a group is recognized or authorized to operate at the University, please contact the Office of Student Leadership and Engagement at OSLE@hofstra.edu or by phone at 516-463-6914.
