Nationally, the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) services as the governing body for nine historically African American fraternities and sorori-ties. The council consists of the following organizations (national founding dates included):
Alpha Phi Alpha 12/04/1906 Alpha Kappa Alpha 01/15/1908
Kappa Alpha Psi 01/05/1911 Omega Psi Phi 11/17/1911
Delta Sigma Theta 01/13/1913 Phi Beta Sigma 01/09/1914
Zeta Phi beta 01/16/1920 Sigma Gamma Rho 11/12/1922
Iota Phi Theta 09/19/1963
The council was formed on the campus of Howard University on May 10, 1930. The stated purpose and mission of the collective in 1930 was “Unanimity of thought and action as far as possible in the conduct of Greek letter collegiate fraternities and sorori-ties, and to consider problems of mutual interest to its member organizations.” The council became an incorporated organization in 1937.
The council was chartered in Montgomery County MD approximately October 1975. The council sponsors county wide events that promote community service, academic excellence, professional development, and cultural support and enrichment.
Mark your calendars: National Pan-Hellenic Council of Montgomery County MD Chapter will be holding their annual plan of action meeting on Thursday, June 4, 2015. Please plan to come out with ideas for upcoming year activities.

Dear Fellow Greeks:
On behalf of the Loudoun County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (LCAC), I am writing to invite the members of your chapter to participate in the 4th Annual Crim-
son Step Explosion being held on Saturday, November 14, 2015. LCAC is honored to host the
ONLY Greek step show in Loudoun County for the fourth year in a row!
We invite the members of your organization to not only attend this event but we encourage your
Step Team to enter the competition and showcase their skills in a 10-minute presentation along this year’s theme “Stepping Into the Future”. This year, collegiate, graduate and/or mixed level teams
will compete for a $2,000 Grand Prize (top scoring team) and cash prizes for first place (Sorority) and first place (Fraternity). The registration/entry fee for each Step Team is $50. All
registration forms, signed agreements, and entry fees must be received by no later than Monday,
October 5, 2015.
We are also excited to announce that national radio personality and Brother of Omega Psi Phi Fra-ternity, Inc. Adimu Colon is returning to host the show. Tickets for the step show are $20 in
advance and $25 at the door and can be purchased on our website at www.lcacdst.org. Information on the After-Party will be announced at a later date. LCAC DST is excited to offer reduced priced
tickets for youth and those will be available at the door as well.
In addition to the step competition, our guests will be able to peruse the LCAC Marketplace which will feature Greek paraphernalia vendors, refreshments and information about community
services in and around Loudoun County. We will have a table for other organizations to promote
various events so please feel free to bring any flyers/announcements you want to share.
We would also like to extend a complimentary ticket to the show for your Chapter President or their designee. Additionally, we would like to offer each Loudoun County Greek President an op-portunity to sit as a judge for the show if your chapter does not enter the competition.
If your chapter would like to step, please let us know so that we can have another member of your organization, from another Northern Virginia chapter, serve as a judge. Be sure to confirm your
desire to redeem your complimentary ticket to the Chair of LCAC’s Crimson Step Explosion Suhailah Stevenson ([email protected]).
The proceeds raised at LCAC’s Annual Crimson Step Explosion will support various public service
projects, initiatives and scholarships benefitting the Loudoun County community.
For any additional information about this event, or to register your team, please e-mail us at
Sisterly, Sheryl Tolbert-Johnson , President , Loudoun County Alumnae Chapter
