Prospective Members

Which Council to Join

The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) and Multicultural Greek Council (MGC)

While each organization has different requirements and process, most NPHC & MGC groups encourage men and women to observe current members and educate themselves on the history and philosophies of each group. There will be many activities throughout the year sponsored by the organizations. Once a man or woman identifies the group he or she would like to belong to, he or she should attend a social or interest meeting sponsored by the organization. Note that most NPHC & MGC organizations require a standing college GPA and some require sophomore standing in order to apply for the intake process.

Important information and tips to keep in mind:

  • Attend an interest session of organization you are interested in joining
  • Each organization ranges in membership dues from $300.00 - $1,000.00
  • Meet the requirements of the National Organization you are seeking to join

For more information, visit the NPHC's or MGC's Ram Connect page and/or contact Elisa Oliver, the FSL Staff Advisor for NPHC and MGC.

The Interfraternity Council (IFC)

At the beginning of each semester, there are a number of informational and social events that take place where all chapters participate in to provide interested men the opportunity to meet active members from several fraternities. Chapters will also host several individual events during this time for potential members to attend and learn more about a particular fraternity in a more personalized setting. No registration fee is required, and it is up to the student to decide which events to attend.
