Every student who joins one of the organizations becomes a member of NPHC. The Council is the governing body for the eight historically African American organizations of the University of Georgia campus. Each chapter has a delegate and alternate delegate to the Council, in addition to the chapter President. The Council strives for Greek unity and high standards for each member. The Council also provides community service opportunities, educational programs, and social events to all University students.

The Council is led by five executive board members and the advisor to oversee all programs and activities. Council activities throughout year include "Meet the Greeks," an interactive session where students can get information on each chapter and learn more about Greek life. The Council hosts the first party of each semester and a joint Founder’s Day program to promote unity. A highlight of each year is the annual stepshow. "Face Off 2006" brought over 1,500 people to the Classic Center. Each year the Council awards two scholarships to University students using proceeds from the show.

In addition to social activities, the Council plays an active role in community service. Last year the Council participated in the AIDS Walk Atlanta, Relay For Life, Yard Show Canned Food Drive and Movie Education Night. The Council requires each chapter to have an average of ten service hours a semester, but everyone exceeds that minimum!

Along with NPHC programming, each individual chapter provides creative, innovative, and educational programs for the campus throughout the year. Chapters also provide social activities and events unique to their organization. Events are usually advertised in the Tate Student Center, Memorial Hall, information boards around campus, and in the residence halls. Look for an exciting year!
