On August 13, 1971, Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Incorporated became the first Black Greek Letter Organization at the University of Maryland. At that time it could not become a member of the NPHC because all of the divine nine organizations had to be chartered on this campus in order for an NPHC chapter to be chartered. Therefor, the historically Black fraternities were members of the Interfraternity Council (IFC) and the historically Black sororities were members of The Panhellenic Association (PHA).

In the fall of 1976, the University of Maryland chapter of the National Pan-Hellenic Council was created. The council was finally complete when Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Incorporated joined in 1996.

During the 1970s, it became the duty of Black Greek Letter Organizations to come together to fight on behalf of all against discrimination and fight for equal treatment. BGLOs put on programs to empower and uplift the African American community. This trend continues to be reflected in the programming that PHC chapters put on today.

In addition to their individual efforts, PHC chapters joined together to facilitate programs such as Meet the Greeks, an informational forum for students to ask questions and learn about PHC fraternities and sororities.

The Pan-Hellenic Council at the University of Maryland currently consists of the following chapters:

Iota Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated
Theta Nu Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated
Kappa Phi Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated
Epsilon Psi Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated
Eta Epsilon Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated
Eta Beta Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated
Nu Chapter of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Incorporated
Upsilon Chapter of Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Incorporated
