We, the men of the various national and local fraternity chapters at Colgate University, set forth this constitution and bylaws in order to promote harmonious relationship and coordination among the member chapters; to foster friendly relations between member chapters and the faculty, administration, and trustees of the University; and to represent and promote the interests of the member chapters in the affairs of the University.
We do ordain and establish this constitution as binding in letter and spirit upon our activities and privileges.

Sororities
Sororities at Colgate include Delta Delta Delta, Gamma Phi Beta, and Kappa Kappa Gamma. The College Panhellenic Council, the governing board for Colgate’s sororities, follows the following beliefs and values (as stated by the National Panhellenic Conference):
We, as Undergraduate Members of women’s fraternities, stand for good scholarship, for guarding of good health, for maintenance of fine standards, and for serving, to the best of our ability, our college community. Cooperation for furthering fraternity life, in harmony with its best possibilities, is the ideal that shall guide our fraternity activities.
We, as Fraternity Women, stand for service through the development of character inspired by the close contact and deep friendship of individual fraternity and Panhellenic life. The opportunity for wide and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness, is the tenet by which we strive to live.
