The Multicultural Greek Council at the University of Virginia
Established in 1999
The Multicultural Greek Council unites Greek-letter organizations that are members of the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations (NALFO), the National APIDA Panhellenic Association (NAPA), the National Multicultural Greek Council (NMGC), and North American Interfraternity Conference (NIC), as well independent and local organizations. The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) was founded in spring 1999.
The Multicultural Greek Council promotes community service events, leadership, and scholarship. Many of the organizations 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.
Currently, the MGC consists of eleven Latin, Asian, multicultural and local fraternities, sororities, and co-ed organizations.
Who We Are
Our strength lies not only in the words we stand by, but most importantly in the actions of our initiatives. From the moment our Greek-lettered organizations began to establish themselves in the late 90s at the University, we understood that by working together our Latin, Asian, and LGBTQ+ interest organizations could overcome the barriers that face culturally based Greek-lettered organizations much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to unite and establish the Multicultural Greek Council at the University of Virginia. We strive to make a positive change in all of our pursuits, help promote diversity and inclusion, and aid one another in our philanthropies.
Ways We Help
Furthering our philanthropies is the most important goal of our respective organizations. The Multicultural Greek Council frequently unites to perform community service for the UVA student body and the greater Charlottesville-Albemarle community.
