National Pan-Hellenic Council Membership Selection
Unlike the other councils, NPHC chapters conduct their membership selection or "membership intake process" independently and at different times. The NPHC chapters that are active at Carnegie Mellon include the sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha and the fraternities Alpha Phi Alpha and Kappa Alpha Psi. Chapters usually conduct interest meetings that are relatively formal in nature. Students must usually provide transcripts and letters of recommendation. Note that NPHC organizations do not permit freshmen to join during their first semester and some require sophomore standing in order to apply for the intake process.
