Councils

The Office of Fraternity and Sorority life advises 39 organizations each one of the organizations is governed by a council. It is the responsibility of these councils to ensure that their affiliated organizations meet and comply with the expectations and guidelines implemented by their national office / the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Currently, there are five councils advised by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life (OFSL) at UNC Charlotte these councils are as follows:

Independent Greek Council

The Independent Greek Council (IGC) at UNC Charlotte serves as the governing council for any independent fraternity/sorority social groups, officially registered by the University and not a member of any other UNC Charlotte governing council. This council serves as a liaison between the member organizations, the Fraternity and Sorority community, and the University in issues that are of common interest to the affiliate groups.

All students who want to join a fraternity or sorority must have a minimum cumulative GPA of a 2.60. Each IGC organization is unique in their membership recruitment process. For chapter specific information, please contact the president.

Each organization has its own requirements set by their (inter)national organization and UNC Charlotte chapter. Please contact the UNC Charlotte chapter that you are interested in to find out their requirements.

IGC ORGANIZATIONS:

  • Alpha Omega Epsilon Sorority 
  • Sigma Alpha Omega Christian Sorority, Inc.

Interfraternity Council

The Interfraternity Council (IFC) at UNC Charlotte is the coordinating and governing board of the fraternities. IFC is a self-governed body made up of 8 executive officers in charge of various aspects of Greek life. Our goal as a council is to shape the next generation and become a beacon of what UNC Charlotte has to offe

The Interfraternity Council is the key liaison between the Greek community and UNC Charlotte. IFC is proud to represent approximately 800 fraternity men and 14 fraternities. These members are held to a higher standard as we work collectively to build a better community focused on scholarship, stewardship, and leadership. The Interfraternity Council is honored to pave the way by creating traditions and continually setting the standard for excellence.

Our council consists of 14 active organizations and is constantly growing. All 14 member chapters strive for positive community relations and brotherhood rooted in their unique histories. Each member of a fraternity will actively participate in philanthropy events, community service, educational seminars, and social gatherings with other students.

At the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters, the Interfraternity Council holds its Formal Recruitment process. IFC Recruitment gives potential members the opportunity to meet members of each fraternity. The IFC Recruitment process is one of mutual selection: the fraternities decide which recruits they wish to invite into membership, and recruits choose which fraternity they wish to join. 

Each organization will host individual recruitment events in various locations on campus and throughout the metropolitan area. Eating lunch together, playing sports, completing service projects, meeting alumni, viewing slideshow or video presentations, and just asking questions of fraternity members in a casual atmosphere are a few examples of things potential members might do during IFC Recruitment. The formal process lasts one week and allows students the opportunity to explore Fraternity & Sorority Life without joining any particular fraternity. 

At the conclusion of recruitment, each fraternity extends “bids,” or offers of membership, to men that it wishes to be part of its organization. For more information please follow the instagram and keep an eye out for current recruitment schedules: @Ifc_Charlotte

Diversified Greek Council

The mission of the Diversified Greek Council (DGC) at the UNC Charlotte is to promote collaboration for the purpose of uniting Greek organizations under National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations (NALFO), National Asian Pacific Islander American Pan-Hellenic Association (NAPA), and National Multicultural Greek Council (NMGC) on campus. The Council serves as a governing body to convene and regulate order among these organizations.

Each culturally based fraternity and sorority brings in new members at various times of the year through a process called Membership Intake. Each Diversified Greek Council has different requirements for membership, and each conducts intake on its own schedule. Some organizations conduct intake each semester; others do so only once a year. Organizations conducting Membership Intake may host a meeting in which criteria for membership is explained. These are usually publicized via flyers on campus and social media.

All students who want to join a fraternity or sorority must have a minimum cumulative GPA of a 2.60, community service experience, and involvement in clubs or community activities. Nevertheless, each Diversified Greek Organization has its own requirements set by their (inter) national organization and UNC Charlotte colony.

The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) at UNC Charlotte fosters unity, leadership, and service among its member organizations. It is home to eight of the nine historically Black fraternities and sororities that are part of the national council. While the council provides support and educational programming, each organization independently manages its Membership Intake process. NPHC hosts "Meet the Greeks" every fall and spring semester to introduce students to its organizations.

Each NPHC fraternity and sorority brings in new members at various times of the year through a process called Membership Intake. All organizations governed by the National Panhellenic Council have different requirements for membership. These organizations are permitted to conduct intake based on the chapters schedule and/ or their need for expansion. Some organizations conduct intake each semester; others do so only once a year. When organizations are looking to conduct Membership Intake, many of them will host an informational meeting in which the criteria for membership is explained. These are usually publicized via flyers on campus and social media. NPHC will host a general information session about all of its organizations for students who have questions or are unsure about the intake process. This event is called “Meet the Greeks” and is held in the fall semester.

All students who want to join a fraternity or sorority must have a minimum cumulative GPA of a 2.60, community service experience, and involvement in clubs or community activities. Nevertheless, each NPHC organization has its own requirements set by their (inter)national organization and the UNC Charlotte chapter.
