Multicultural Greek Council
The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) at Grand Valley State University serves as the governing body for culturally based fraternities and sororities that were founded to uplift historically underrepresented communities. MGC organizations celebrate a rich variety of cultures, traditions, and identities while fostering unity, academic achievement, leadership, and service. The council provides a space for students to find belonging and connection through shared cultural experiences and values. Whether you're looking to honor your heritage, grow as a leader, or serve your community, MGC offers a supportive and empowering home within Fraternity & Sorority Life at GVSU.
