Join the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) | Fraternity and Sorority Life

The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) is the Governing council for culturally-based fraternities and sororities. This council is comprised of both men’s and women’s organizations and strives uplift common heritages and histories while recognizing and celebrating differences.

Join MGC

Each MGC chapter has an independent and unique membership selection process, thus the best way to gain information about a chapter’s recruitment/intake process is to contact the chapter directly or engage with community programs hosted by the council.

Due to COVID-19, MGC recruitment/intake practices will look different than they have previously. To ensure the health of individuals that are current and potential members of MGC, many chapters will host virtual recruitment/intake opportunities, one-on-one meetings, and/or small informational meetings.

To learn about chapter specific intake/recruitment opportunities, visit each chapter’s local social media account (linked below), email a chapter representative directly (contacts provided in the accordion below), or contact the interim MGC Advisor, Amanda Taylor at amanda.taylor@colostate.edu.

MGC FAQs

Do I need to be of a certain race/ethnicity to join MGC fraternities/sororities?
No, MGC chapters are open and welcoming across the board of all cultural backgrounds. What is important to recognize is that an organization’s foundations may be rooted in a particular cultural experience that shapes the chapter and its members. Organizations that are multicultural in interest or experience also have differences in the way they articulate and promote multiculturalism. That is why it is important to know about both the organization’s story and the culture of the chapter at CSU.

Why does MGC call new member education “intake” and what does it mean?
‘Intake’ honors the uniqueness of each MGC organization’s education process. MGC chapters bring in either a new class or line through a process that is either ‘open’ (meaning public) or ‘closed’ (meaning private). Intake includes a variety of activities including but not limited to interviews, bonding activities, and educational meetings. For some organizations the end of “intake” is celebrated with a new member presentation (sometimes called step outs or showcases). It is important to ask about membership expectations as you meet and seek membership in an MGC organization including about the type of intake process the chapter conducts and if the chapter has class/line presentations.

What happens if I choose not to continue in an intake process once I’ve started?
You have no obligation to complete an intake process of any organization. If there are any difficulties in the process or additional concerns arise, please contact the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life.

What if the organization I want to join is not currently recognized at CSU?
It is possible to invite (or bring back) organizations to CSU depending on the organization’s willingness and ability to expand/recharter as well as the Multicultural Greek Council’s ability to recognize a new organization. The process of beginning a new chapter requires requirements be met through the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life and the SLiCE office. Contact the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life who can support your search for membership in a culturally-based fraternity or sorority not currently at CSU.

What if I have a question that has not been answered yet?
