As the leading advocate for the sorority experience, the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) also leads the sorority community’s engagement with local, state and national lawmakers. In addition to monitoring national issues and legislation that affects fraternal organizations, NPC encourages broad civic engagement among its members.
When setting legislative and policy priorities, NPC focuses on three central areas:
- Preservation of the sorority experience.
- Promotion of college affordability.
- Advancement of student and campus safety.
Together, these three pillars support the long-term health of the sorority experience, while also providing critical support for collegiate members.
This is a unique opportunity for collegiate sorority women to engage with federal policymakers in support of the advancement of the sorority experience. Women selected for this opportunity will lobby alongside NPC leadership on Capitol Hill multiple times throughout the year on issues such as student freedom of association and private member organization rights. Additionally, the fellows will support NPC staff with the development of educational resources about advocacy and NPC’s legislative agenda for sorority women across the country.
We believe a year-round and consistent student presence in meetings with elected officials and their staffs will elevate our advocacy work.
If selected, costs related to travel (flights, hotel, etc.) are covered by NPC. More information about the time commitment can be found in the position description.
Applicants must be initiated collegiate members of one of NPC’s 26 member organizations, and full-time undergraduate students through at least May of 2027. You can apply here.
