Changing the Landscape of Greek Life

One of the great things about joining a fraternity or sorority at TCU is that students get to interact with others from different backgrounds and experiences. This idea of brotherhood and sisterhood is the cornerstone that each fraternity and sorority is built upon.

Diversity in the community gives students the opportunity to learn life lessons from one another, as well as learn about different cultures, experiences, and skills. Organizations that are a part of fraternity and sorority life on TCU’s campus that underscore the significance of diversity among culturally and religiously-based groups include the Multicultural Greek Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council, and the Independent Greek Council.

The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) serves as the governing council for one music fraternity, the Latino/Latina fraternities and sororities, an AsianAmerican sorority, and a multicultural fraternity. The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) serves as the governing body for the nine historically AfricanAmerican fraternities and sororities, of which TCU has five active chapters. The Independent Greek Council (IGC) includes faith-based and band/music organizations. Through fellowship and acts of community service, everlasting bonds and friendships are built within each organization and the councils at large.

When a student joins NPHC, they gain not only their chapter brothers or sisters, but also lifelong relationships with everyone in the council. I know that I can count on anyone in my council, not only the members, but also the Fraternity and Sorority Life office. They have been very supportive and have made sure we feel welcome and valued in this institution
