The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) is home to 13 culturally-based Greek organizations. MGC serves Asian, Latinx, and multicultural interest groups, but you do not have to hold these identities to join an MGC organization. MGC is built on community - joining this council means you are not just a member of your specific chapter, but the MGC community as a whole. The MGC community is like a family who will be there to uplift and inspire you during your collegiate journey.
MGC membership recruitment occurs the first two weeks of the semester.
To be considered a prospective new member of an MGC organization, students must attend at least one informational session for the group they are interested in. After turning in an application for membership with a specific chapter, you will be selected for an interview. If selected, you must fill out an University of Oklahoma Official Intake Acceptance Form with the Fraternity & Sorority Programs and Services office.
