About Us

The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) is a governing body for culturally-based fraternities and sororities. MGC aims to promote unity, cultural awareness, and positive relations within the Greek community and the wider university. It serves as a coordinating body for its member organizations, facilitating recruitment, social events, and community service initiatives.

In 1998, a group of twelve culturally based fraternities and sororities came together to form the Multicultural Pan-Hellenic Alliance (MCPA). The council was formally established in 2023 and took on the Multicultural Greek Council name.  

At Texas State University, our organizations within MGC represent Latino-based organizations, & Asian-Interest Fraternities and Sororities. Latino-based and Asian-Interest organizations are in no way exclusive for membership by race or ethnicity. However, they have a primary focus to represent and uplift those specific cultures and communities.

Recruitment occurs at the beginning of both Fall and Spring Semesters. The Multicultural Greek Council will host events over the span of 2-3 Weeks. Those interested in MGC are encouraged to attend these events to learn about all the chapters in our Council.

Anyone who meets the organization's academic and enrollment requirements and aligns with their values can join an MGC Chapter. They are culturally based but inclusive - membership is open to students of all backgrounds. 

The Multicultural Greek Council does not have a fee for Recruitment/Recruitment Events. Fees are to be discussed with your Chapter of Interest in terms of New Member Dues vs. Active members Dues & Fees, which will vary among each chapter.

They partner with the National-Panhellenic Council in Hump Days/ Stroll Nights, which often host Drives ( Canned Food, Clothing, Baby, and or Feminine Products) that will be donated to local centers in the Community. As well, they support the Panhellenic & Interfraternity Council by showing up to Bid Day, and participating in philanthropy weeks, fundraising activities, and community-hosted events.

Each semester, MGC will host “Meet MGC,” where prospective new members will meet each chapter within the council to begin determining the best fit for them.
