The Panhellenic Council consists of leaders from Furman's six sororities who work together to host philanthropic events, uphold the community's standards, manage recruitment and create educational programming. The organization has high academic standards and provides its members opportunities to excel in leadership positions at Furman. It also serves as a liaison between sorority members and the general campus community. The organization works collaboratively with our fraternities to organize Greek-wide social events.

ABOUT US
The purpose of the Furman Panhellenic Council shall be to foster high ideals of friendship, promote educational and cultural interests, create a true sense of social responsibility, and develop the finest qualities of character. It shall also be our purpose to develop qualities of unselfish leadership among our members, and to encourage them to assume, with integrity and devotion to moral and democratic principles, the highest responsibilities of college women. Our members will strive to form life bonds of friendship, mutual support, opportunities for self-growth, respect for intellectual development and an understanding of and an allegiance to positive ethical principles.
We believe in holding ourselves to the responsibility of doing our best in whatever we undertake, always remembering that leadership requires confidence tempered with humility and courage blended with tolerance. We believe that we must strive to become a well-balanced Council by first, strengthening our own character and personality; second, watching our attitudes toward our fellow-beings; third, recognizing the value of high educational standards; and fourth, developing faith and loyalty.
May we strive each day to seek more earnestly the honorable and beautiful things. May we each day through love of those within our Council, learn to know and understand better those outside our Council. May we strive each day to become truer, wiser, more faithful, more loving, and more noble. To live constantly above snobbery of word or deed; to place scholarship before social obligations and character before appearances; to be, in the best sense, democratic rather than 'exclusive', and lovable rather than 'popular'; to work earnestly, to speak kindly, and to act sincerely. We as a Panhellenic Council strive to promote these ideals to all women on campus both as a body and as individuals.
