Activities include community service, family weekends, philanthropy events, Homecoming, study tables, intramural teams, Greek Week, leadership seminars, date dashes and events with other fraternities and sororities ... just to name a few. The Panhellenic Association and individual chapters also sponsor educational programs on current and relevant topics like campus safety and financial wellness.

Legacy and Letter of Recommendation Policy

Letter from the PresidentJules Geneser

 

On behalf of our 11 chapters, welcome to the University of Colorado - Boulder Panhellenic Council, CU's largest women’s organization.

I am beyond excited about your interest in the CU Panhellenic community. Whether you are a new student or a returning student, this year will hopefully be filled with fun and exciting moments. Each of our chapters offers a supportive, inspirational, and empowering environment that no doubt enhances members’ experiences here at CU. While each chapter and woman in our community is undoubtedly unique, our core values of academics, leadership, service, and sisterhood link us together to form the amazing CU Panhellenic community.

When I came to CU, I was nervous to be going to such a large school where I feared that I would not be able to find a sense of belonging. When I signed up for recruitment, I was so nervous. I went to a high school with a graduating class size of 127 people and on top of that we were in peak COVID lockdown. At this time meeting new people was almost impossible so I took the risk and decided to join Formal Recruitment. Even though this was an exhausting and stressful process, I ended up where I was meant to be and I am a better person for it. These women push me out of my comfort zone, motivate me to be my best self in every aspect of my life, and inspire me to grow and expand my knowledge daily. My time in Panhellenic has shaped me into the woman I am today, providing me with the best memories, opportunities, and friends I have made at CU.

You may be scared, nervous, or unsure whether Panhellenic life is for you, and that is completely fine! We are here to help every step of the way to ensure you find your home at the University of Colorado. I encourage you all to trust the process and know that you will end up where you are meant to be!

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement

Fraternity and sorority life and diversity, equity and inclusion are often two statements that have not gone hand-in-hand over the past centuries. The non-equitable and non-inclusive roots and continued perpetuation within fraternity and sorority life are something that we acknowledge with heart.

It is not an artifact stowed away in history’s attic. It is our present, and it lives and breathes as much as we are in this moment. 

Any acts of harm, such as assault, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism and more are actively being spread from performative activism to “jokes” that “did not stem from one’s intention,” this does include the foundation in which our organization was founded. 

What happens behind closed doors after an Instagram story is posted in support of a minoritized group is a reflection of not only one, but many. What happens behind closed doors is something we can rise up against by standing for the protection, respect and wellbeing of those who have been minoritized. 

The road to genuine and authentic change, unlearning, and healing is one that is quite long. Though, we are not discouraged by carrying the torch of change and hold it with pride. 

To carry this torch also requires the hands of many. 

We, as an Executive Board, have begun to foster relationships with advisors and organizations from across the country, educational and social change offices on campus and other councils within our own community in order to learn, unlearn and ultimately provide opportunities for our own community to grow by means of education, communication and information. 

To create a new foundation with diversity, equity and inclusion, where there was not one prior, is to create a new foundation for fraternity and sorority life. 

We extend our best wishes, luck and overall support for your upcoming recruitment experience and hope that you find an organization that is your true home. 

With love and support,
The Panhellenic Executive Board
