ABOUT US
Who Are We?
The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) focuses on unifying and creating opportunities for all of its member organizations. The MGC and its members work together in an on-going effort to serve as the governing body of the organizations approved for membership within the Multicultural Greek Council at the University of Virginia. The MGC educates and supports the current and emerging traditions of Greek-lettered organizations. The MGC unifies the goals and ideals of member organizations in relation to the educational mission of the University of Virginia. The MGC cooperates with the members of the Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC), the Inter-Sorority Council (ISC), and the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC). The MGC educates the UVA community of Multicultural Greek Council's purpose and the pillars of its organizations.
Many of the organizations of the Multicultural Greek Council sponsor or co-sponsor educational programs regarding hazing, discrimination, and personal safety. All member organizations stress their commitment to the University and Charlottesville communities. Informational sessions about the fraternities and sororities are held throughout the year.
OUR HISTORY
The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) at the University of Virginia was founded in the spring of 1999 in order to unite Greek-lettered organizations that promote culture. The founding members were representatives of Omega Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, alpha Kappa Delta Phi Sorority, Incorporated, and La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Incorporated.
The Council exists in order to educate and support the expressions of Greek-lettered organizations and to promote the fraternity and sorority ideals of scholarship, leadership, service, culture, and brotherhood or sisterhood. The MGC also cooperates with members of the Inter-Fraternity Council, the Inter-Sorority Council, and the National Pan-Hellenic Council and educates them on the purpose of the MGC.
The organizations of the MGC represent numerous cultures, including Asian American, Asian and Latino.
