Additionally, this Council served as a forum to allow these Greek organization to consider and address problems of mutual interest affecting their organizations and their college experience.

The Council is in charge of coordinating events that expose the undergraduate student body to the history, mission and purpose of all of NPHC organizations on the University campus. The Council also sponsors events which promote unity among the membership of the different organizations.
