Gracious beginnings: NYC’s Panhellenic House
Association, Inc. – circa 1922
Today’s Beekman Tower Hotel started out as a genteel residence and safe
haven for single NPC fraternity women coming to the Big Apple.
In 1922, the Panhellenic House Association, Inc. was organized in New York City with a
Board of Directors comprised of representatives of the 20 participating women's
fraternities. Its goal was to obtain affordable, gracious accommodations for the single
fraternity women of New York City. Construction of the Panhellenic House began on
October 10, 1927, and it opened its doors one year later. The Panhellenic House is now
known as the Beekman Tower Hotel, located in midtown Manhattan.
Currently, the New York City Alumnae Panhellenic Association (NYCAP) consists of
representatives of 25 of the 26 National Panhellenic Conference groups. In addition to its
expressed mission, NYCAP promotes both inter-fraternity and inter-generational
friendships, and serves as an anchor for women who are transitioning to the New York
City area.
