Multicultural Greek Council
The Multicultural Greek Council is the umbrella organization that governs the Historically African-American, Latino and Latina, and Asian Greek letter organizations at the University of Pennsylvania. The Council serves as the governing body of those organizations whose sole purpose is to promote community service, social activities, co-sponsor educational and cultural forums, and promote awareness through its involvement in the Penn and Philadelphia communities. The MGC is currently led by President:  Jocelyn Chandler (Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.); Vice-President: Omari Ramirez (Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.); Recording Secretary: Demetria Smith (Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.); Corresponding Secretary: Danielle Branch (Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.); Treasurer: Shayla Alleyne (Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.); and Parlimentarian: Brittany MIddlebrooks (Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.).

Intake
Traditionally, all MGC fraternities and sororities, unlike the member chapters of IFC and Panhellenic, have their own individualized membership intake and recruitment process. "Pledging" was discontinued nationally by the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), The Divine Nine, in the early 1990s giving way to the Intake process. Generally, the MGC Intake process occurs during the Spring semester; however, some organizations will do intake during the fall semester.   If you are interested in joining any of these organizations, please refer to their websites or contact OFSA to get further information regarding their intake processes and the event calendar.
