he beautiful Princess Resort in scenic Scottsdale, Ari T zona, provided a warm and sunny setting for the 51st Biennial Session of the National Panhellenic Conference. The November meeting provided an opportunity for frater nity women representing all 26 NPC groups to take stock of the past through officer and committee reports, and to chart the future through the enactment of resolu tions and possible changes to the Constitution, Bylaws or Unanimous Agreements.
