Academic Excellence

At the 2000 Interim Session, the National Panhellenc Conference passed the following resolution establishing October as the Month of the Scholar:

Whereas, The National Panhellenic Conference stands for good scholarship among fraternity women;
Whereas, Scholarship is a core value of each of the NPC member groups;
Whereas, Increased emphasis on academic excellence furthers the mission of women's fraternities; and
Whereas, Celebrations of the Day/Week of the Scholar have been very successful among College Panhellenic Associations;
Resolved, That beginning in 2001, The National Panhellenic Conference will officially recognize October as the Month of the Scholar; and
Resolved, That NPC, through partnership of the member groups, the College Panhellenics Committee and the Alumnae Panhellenics Committee, will promote the Month of the Scholar.

Panhellenic Councils across the country join together in October to celebrate the Month of the Scholar. Recognition of those celebrations may be found in Volume 8 and Volume 9 of The Scholar newletters.

The NPC Academic Excellence Challenge is extended each term to Panhellenic Councils to improve their All-Sorority GPA's by 0.1 or greater. Recognition of those successful campuses may be found in Volume 6, Volume 7, Volume 8 and Volume 9 of The Scholar newsletters.
