Hotel Headquarters will be— Berkeley House Motor Hotel 920 University Avenue Berkeley, California 94710 The National Pan-Hellenic Council, Incorporated meets in convention once each year, at which time such policies as are needed are agreed upon for submission to the affiliate organizations for ratification. Once the policies are adopted by a majority of the affiliate organizations, these policies become binding on the member organizations and their local chapters. It is desirable that the National President and the appropriate staff person from each of the affiliate organizations be two of the three chosen representatives, for each organization must support and require compliance by its own chapters of any policies Pan-Hellenic may adopt for these policies to be effective. It is the responsibility of each member organization to require its chapters to comply with those standards and policies agreed upon by the member organizations. The Council serves as a forum for the discussion of other common problems; however, there is respect for autonomy of each organization represented. Sororities and fraternities exist on any college or university campus at the pleasure of the college or university administration. It is important that these groups make a positive contribution to the campus life; a contribution that students would not have the opportunity to make in any other way.
