The Multicultural Greek Council at MississippiState University recognizes the need for coordination and cooperation in activities of intercollegiate Greek-letter organizations. With this, the Multicultural Greek Council serves as a formal organization to establish rules and regulations, guidelines, and provisions for all organizations involved.

The primary purpose of the MGC is to unite its member organizations in order to share ideas and resources, promote mutual respect and equality, and provide a support network for involved students.

Sorority: Delta Xi Phi Multicultural Sorority

Fraternity: Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, Inc.

MGC organizations use variations of a process known as membership intake to gain new members.

Each organization will decide when it will host an intake process. This is typically once every calendar year. The organization will pst flyers and other forms of notifications advertising the interest meeting or rush. Flyers are posted in the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life at least 2 weeks prior to the process or interest meeting.

These processes are discrete. Therefore, you will be informed of the timeline of the process, if you are selected for membership.

The average range to join a MGC organization ranges from $300-$500 (first semester) for one time initiation fees. After your initiation dues, you will have to pay semester dues to remain active. These dues range from $400-$800 per semester depending on the organization.

Dues cover:

• Chapter programs and events
• Conference participation
• National and regional expenses
