Established at Texas State University-San Marcos in the fall of 1999, the Multicultural Greek Council recognizes and supports Greek social and service organizations whose needs have not been met by any existing council. Kappa Delta Chi, Sigma Delta Lambda, Sigma Lambda Beta and Sigma Lambda Gamma joined together to better meet their individual and joint needs, to voice their concerns and to ensure harmony among member organizations.
The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) is currently composed of six Greek letter sororities and fraternities: Kappa Delta Chi, Phi Iota Alpha, Sigma Delta Lambda, Sigma Lambda Beta, Sigma Lambda Gamma and Sigma Iot Alpha. The organizations in the council are predominantly Hispanic-based but have grown to include membership from a world-wide range of ethnicities and races.
Privileges of Membership
Academics
The key to a strong and well-rounded organization lies within academics and brother/sisterhood. Texas State holds a system for Greek organization in which all member organizations must attain a certain GPA to stay in good standing. Each fraternity & sorority strives to not only better member's college experience but also to improve their academics, one of MGC's main objectives.
Service
Members demonstrate tremendous personal commitment and individual involvement in community service projects that have been the cornerstone of these organizations since their conception.
Support
Another positive aspect of membership in Greek-lettered fraternities and sororities is the support for those seeking comfort. Greek life is a very rewarding experience that helps people form bonds of life-longfriendships and become part of a community of leadership and excellence. Belonging to these organizations gives students a sense of belonging, and a sense of family away from home.
Social Interaction
MGC fraternities and sororities also provide the climate for social interaction and inclusion. Students develop best in environments where they feel valued, protected, accepted and socially connected with people of similar backgrounds and similar interests and ideas.
Lifetime Commitment
The bond shared among fraternity and sorority members lasts a lifetime and it progresses past the undergraduate experience. After graduation, members remain active and influential in their communities. Graduates or alumni/alumnae also provide a means of professional networking for members after college.
