Created in 1930, the National Pan-Hellenic Council is a coalition of historically African American fraternities and sororities. Furman currently recognizes two National Pan-Hellenic Council chapters, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and Kappa Alpha Psi, Fraternity, Inc. Each organization maintains community standards, manages intake efforts, and works with other student organizations to host programs and activities.
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Rho Zeta Chapter was established at Furman University on May 1, 1994 and holds the title as the first, and only, historically African-American sorority chartered on the campus. While historically African American, we welcome members from all ethnic and religious backgrounds.
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.
The Xi Omega chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc began February 13, 1994 with the initiation of these five brothers.These brothers came back to Furman University to build and promote the fundamental purpose of achievement and brotherhood for which the fraternity stands. Since that time, the Xi Omega chapter at Furman University has grown and promoted the name of Kappa Alpha Psi through their many achievements.
