NPHC Council promotes Greek Awareness
with
Day of Fellowship
Local Greek members are asked
to wear their Greek lapel pins on February 22th
GREENVILLE, SC: The National Pan Hellenic Council (NPHC) of
Greater Greenville is again promoting Greek Awareness in Upstate
Greenville. The local’s council is promoting “A Day
of Fellowship” in the upstate on February 22, 2009.
Council is asking Greek members to wear their Greek fraternity
Lapel pins to their local Church services on Sunday, February
22, and make an announcement in the services about the Council
and nine local chapters which make up the Greenville Area. Brochures
about the Council and sample Church announcement are available
to members to use on that Day, by contacting the Council Leadership
at contact@upstatescpan.org.
This is a change from previous fellowships where the council
membership selected a church and requested all Greek membership
to attend that service. This year the council decided to expand
the view of the event and ask Greek membership to attend services
in their own church communities. “The idea here is awareness.
Many people don’t know much about NPHC organizations and
what we bring to their community.”, said Council President
Jody Fields, “Many don’t even realize they have Greek
members in their Church performing services every day.”
The Day will close with the fellowship at Holiday Inn at Augusta
Road & I-85 after services starting 1:30 PM. There Greeks
and their families from all local Chapters can fellowship over
Sunday Brunch with each other.
The National Pan Hellenic Council (NPHC, www.nphc.org ) is a
national organization made up of the nine predominately African-American
Greek organizations for College men and women.
The NPHC of Greater
Greenville (www.upstatescpan.org ) is made up of eight local
