Our Organizations

The College Panhellenic Council (CPC) is the leadership body of the five National Panhellenic Conference sororities in Cullowhee.  The Council organizes the annual formal recruitment program, educational initiatives, social events, community service and philanthropic projects, and works with the other leadership councils to strengthen the WCU community. 

The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) serves as the leadership group for the historically African-American national fraternities and sororities, six of which are currently recognized at Western.  Each semester, the Council sponsors campus-wide events and programs for the community in Cullowhee.  In addition, the Council fosters collaborations within the recognized chapters through leadership development and community service programs.    For more information about the WCU College National Pan-Hellenic Council or any of its member chapters, please contact the Department of Greek Student Engagement & Development or email the department here.

Order of Omega is the National Greek Leadership honor society for initiated members of fraternities or sororities.  The organization recognizes juniors and seniors who have exemplified high standards in the areas of scholarship, leadership, involvement within their respective organization and within the Greek, campus, and community at large.  Members are selected from the top 3% of Greeks at each institution.  The Theta Pi Chapter of the Order of Omega was founded at WCU on February 10, 1988.  The society works to bring together these leaders to work toward the common goal of a stronger Greek community.  Each fall, the Theta Pi Chapter hosts the Scholar’s Reception Program to recognize the top academic performers in each chapter.  In addition, the chapter’s signature program is the Annual Apple Polishing Ceremony.  This popular campus event recognizes outstanding meritorious service within the WCU faculty and staff community.
