among alumnae of National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) sororities. Our most important philanthropy is support of the Elmhurst Panhellenic Foundation.

For Whom: Elmhurst Panhellenic Foundation awards higher education scholarships to local
young women based upon financial need, academic excellence, extracurricular
participation, merit and service. Scholarships are not contingent upon association
with a sorority or fraternity.
Applications are available through the guidance counselor’s office at each Elmhurst high school and the financial aid offices of local colleges or through Elmhurst Panhellenic at elmhurstpanhellenic@hotmail.com.
Why: Support of our fashion show benefit enables us to continue to award educational scholarships to deserving young women, and help them pursue their dreams of higher education. In April 2010, we granted $10,000 in scholarships to local young women as a result of our last successful show.
