From Oct. 13 - 15, 2022, the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) hosted its Annual Conference at The Embassy Suites by Hilton Plainfield Indianapolis Airport, just outside Indianapolis. More than 150 NPC member organization leaders, board members and other guests gathered together to discuss topics of mutual interest and build relationships. Event programming was divided into large group education sessions, peer group meetings and other activities such as time with representatives from businesses in the NPC Partner Program.

The event was followed by a regular meeting of the Council of Delegates, which is composed of one individual from each of NPC’s 26 member organizations.

2021-23 NPC Chair Cheri De Jong welcomed attendees to the NPC Annual Conference during the opening session on Thursday afternoon. “We are now officially back on schedule after the many delays and rescheduled events during the COVID pandemic,” said De Jong. “As we begin this conference, let us be mindful of the commitment we have to our member organizations and to each other as we strive to advocate for and grow our Panhellenic communities.”
