NPC Badge Day - March 7, 2005

Don't forget to mark your calendars!

NPC Office Indianapolis

NATIONAL PANHELLENIC CONFERENCE MEMBERS
CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL BADGE DAY 2005

Indianapolis -- The 26 member organizations of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) will celebrate International Badge Day March 7, 2005. During the annual event, sorority women everywhere honor their Greek affiliations by wearing their badge or letters. The theme this year is “Remember Your Pledge of Loyalty … Wear Your Badge With Pride.” International Badge Day is co-sponsored by Burr, Patterson & Auld Co. Inc.

Celebrating 103 years of excellence, partnership and Panhellenic spirit, NPC looks forward to the future because of the continuing collaborative and dedicated efforts of its 26 groups. International Badge Day honors this spirit and celebrates the pledge of loyalty each member has taken. NPC believes that membership in a fraternity or sorority is a social experience based on the fundamental right of free people to form voluntary associations. It is one of the many enrichments of college and alumnae life.

Fraternities and sororities exist because they:

• Provide a good democratic social experience.
• Give value beyond college years.
• Create, through their ideals, an ever-widening circle of service beyond the membership.
• Develop an individual's potential through leadership opportunities and group effort.
• Fill the need of belonging.

The fact that NPC is a conference is significant to the NPC philosophy because the organization is not a congress. Other than the basic UNANIMOUS AGREEMENTS that all groups have voted to observe, NPC confines itself to recommendations and advice and acts as a court of final appeal in any College Panhellenic difficulty.

One of its greatest services is providing area advisors for College Panhellenics and Alumnae Panhellenics. Members are represented on over 620 college and university campuses in the United States and Canada and in 4,678 alumnae associations. There are over 3.7 million sorority women in the world.

For more information about International Badge Day, contact the NPC Office at (317) 872-3185 or visit the Web site at www.npcwomen.org.

Badge Day publicity

It would be really cool if everyone sent this press release to their campus and local paper and to the news and radio stations in your city. Sure not all of them will air it or print it, but it is worth a shot. And if several of you in each city do it, they will take notice.

Here is the press release - http://www.npcwomen.org/newsevents/b...ss_Release.rtf

And here is an easy way to search for the news outlets in your state - http://newslink.org/



Other ideas include meeting with the other Alumnae and College Panhellenics in your state to ask the governor of your state to proclaim March 7 as NPC International Badge Day. Ask your mayor to proclaim March 7 as NPC International Badge Day for your city.

More ideas here -

Color me stoked, because I work in an office where I wear "pin attire" to work every day, so I will be wearing my badge this year. Last year I worked in a very casual office and was unable to wear it.

This was of course announced @ Panhellenic Council. This is also the day of our composite pictures so I'll already be wearing something nice.

Crud. I'm off on the seventh and will be at home. Well, maybe I'll wear mine around the house for the kids.

Does anyone panhellenic council do anything special besides have people wear their badge ? Like a luncheon or anything ? Appearantly this year my school is doing a Picnic lunch in the quad with all the sororities and if you wear your badge you can get a ticket to enter a raffle to get a gift cert to the book store. Sounds like a good way to encourage girls to wear their badge and also bring the chapters together.

I don't work tomorrow either. I guess I'm just going to have to sport my badge at the grocery store and the library!

Oh yeah, I'll be wearing mine tomorrow. I actually have one this year. This time last year, I was a couple of weeks away from being initiated.
