The National Pan-Hellenic Council was established in 1930 at Howard University as a national coordinating body for the eight historically African American Fraternities and Sororities which had evolved on American college and university campuses by that time. Blatant racism had prevented many African American students on historically white campuses from joining general fraternities and sororities. African Americans were denied admittance to large numbers of campuses which still prohibited blacks from attending. Therefore, African American students on both types of campuses established fraternities and sororities to enhance their college experiences. These organizations did not then nor do they now restrict membership to African Americans. They have developed, however, a distinctive African American style in their activities both social and philanthropic.
In 1992 through the joint cooperation of Indiana University - Bloomington and the National Board of Directors of NPHC, the first permanent national office for NPHC was established in Bloomington, Indiana. There had been a roving national office (usually the address of a national officer ) over the previous 62 years. In 1993, at its national convention, NPHC changed its national constitution to allow the appointment of its first Executive Director, Dr. Michael V.W. Gordon, faculty member at Indiana University, who had formerly been Vice Chancellor for Campus Life and/or Dean of Students at Indiana University 1981-91. Also at the national convention in 1993, NPHC changed its constitution to open the possibility of membership for other like organizations, many of which have been established as national organizations after 1930. In 1996, Iota Phi Theta Fraternity joined as an affiliate organization of the NPHC. The national president of NPHC is Daisy D. Wood.
