Panhellenic Association
The Grand Valley State University Panhellenic Association oversees and governs NPC sororities at GVSU. They work to promote cooperation, communication, and unity among the sororities, while also fostering a positive image of the sorority community both on and off campus. The Panhellenic Association also plans and coordinates formal sorority recruitment, establishes and enforces community standards and policies, and provides educational programs and resources for sorority members. Additionally, the Panhellenic Association may organize philanthropic events, social activities, and leadership opportunities for its members.
Welcome from the 2026 Panhellenic President:
Hello Everyone!
On behalf of our 9 Panhellenic chapters, welcome to the Grand Valley Panhellenic Association! My name is Maicey Curtis, and I am the 2026 Panhellenic President.
As you begin– or continue– your journey at Grand Valley, I encourage you to explore all of the amazing opportunities that GVSU has to offer. I am beyond excited about your interest in the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), which consists of 26 total chapters across the country.
Grand Valley is so lucky to have nine of these sororities on our campus, offering a home to around 700 Panhellenic sisters. Each of our chapters offers a supportive, welcoming, and empowering environment that flourishes members' experiences here at GVSU. Our sisters are encouraged to improve and strive in academics, leadership, service, and sisterhood - prospering in a strong, safe, and inclusive environment and sisterhood that is GVSU Panhellenic.
Going through recruitment and joining a chapter has completely shaped my time at GVSU and the person I am growing to be. It has opened so many doors for me academically, professionally, and personally; from study groups to committees, to living in a house with 15+ of your best friends, the opportunities and memories are endless. I had never been to the West side of the state before coming to Grand Valley, and being part of the Panhellenic community has substituted my worries and fears with some of the best friends and support systems that I could not imagine my life without. Coming here, I was looking for structure, true friendships, and somewhere to call my home away from home, and it is safe to say I have found that within Panhellenic.
I am extremely grateful and humbled to have been elected to lead this community alongside a remarkable group of Panhellenic women who are part of many of our chapters. Our goal is to continue to grow our community with women who embody our chapters’ values and fill our chapters with hardworking, driven, inclusive, and genuine women. I am forever in debt to Panhellenic for all it has offered me in my time thus far, and I am incredibly excited to foster this experience for the women to come. I’m honored to be here for you while you find your home away from home!
Always,
Maicey Curtis
2026 Panhellenic President
Hey there Lakers!!
I’m Alexis Findley, your 2026 Vice President of Recruitment, and I am so excited to welcome YOU to GVSU Panhellenic.
Starting college is such an exciting time, full of new experiences, opportunities, and people, and Panhellenic is one of the best ways to make it all even more meaningful. Whether you’re an incoming freshman eager to join Greek life or a sophomore still navigating to find your place within Grand Valley student life, there is absolutely a place for you here.
Joining a sorority can mean something different for everyone. You might be looking for structure, guidance, and a sense of direction, or maybe you’re hoping to find connection, friendship, and people who truly feel like A Place To Call Home. No matter what you’re searching for, Panhellenic offers a space where you can grow into your best self while being supported every step of the way.
Panhellenic is so much more than joining a sorority. It’s about building real friendships, finding a strong support system, and surrounding yourself with women who encourage you to grow academically, socially, and personally. It’s late night laughs, constant encouragement, leadership opportunities, and memories you’ll carry with you long after college.
Our nine chapters each offer something unique, but they all share the same goal of creating a welcoming and empowering environment where you can be yourself and thrive. During recruitment, you’ll get the opportunity to explore each chapter and discover where you feel the most comfortable and confident.
We can’t wait to meet you, get to really know you, and help you find your place within our Panhellenic community. Your college experience is just beginning, and this could be the start of something truly special.
See you so soon,
Alexis Findley
2026 Vice President of Recruitment
