 All sorority chapters have a housemother
who lives in the house and are supervised by a
local house corporation and an alumnae board.
Sorority property is considered part of the cam-
pus and chapter activities are subject to Univer-
sity regulations.
 Freshmen and sophomore sorority members
 are under contract to live in University housing.
 For sophomore students, sorority housing is
 considered as University housing.
 The University of Florida Panhellenic Coun-
 cil does not discriminate as to race, creed, or
 national origin. All entering freshmen and trans-
 ferring women students are invited to participate
 in Fall rush.
 SThe sororities are governed by the Panhel-
 lenic Council which coordinates all inter-sorority
 activities and helps to promote cooperation and
 spirit among the women's groups. The Council,
 which is composed of sorority presidents and two
 delegates from each chapter, is bound by a con-
 stitution and bylaws. All groups are members of
 the National Panhellenic Conference.
 The Panhellenic Council establishes rules
 governing rushing, pledging, and the initiation of
 women. It also regulates the relationship of
 sororities among one another and toward the
 Council itself. The purpose of the Council is to
 maintain a high plane of sorority life, to further
 intellectual accomplishment and sound scholar-
 ship, and to cooperate with the university ad-
 ministration in the maintenance of high social
 standards.
