Prior to 1998, there was no national council that catered to multicultural Greek organizations. Mu Sigma Upsilon Sorority Incorporated sister Jessica Flores understood that this lack of a national presence was a hindrance to the unity, growth & development of multicultural Greeks. To rectify the situation, Jessica worked with Denise J. Pipersburgh of Lambda Psi Delta Sorority Incorporated to establish the National Multicultural Greek Council (NMGC).
About the National Multicultural Greek Council:
The purpose of NMGC is to provide a forum that allows for the free exchange of ideas, programs, and services between its constituent fraternities and sororities; to promote the awareness of multicultural diversity within collegiate institutions, their surrounding communities, and the greater community-at-large, and to support and promote the works of its member organizations. The NMGC serves in an advisory capacity to its member organizations. Each member organization is autonomous as a Greek-letter society.
The NMGC defines multiculturalism as not only diversity of membership, but a concrete commitment to acknowledge and celebrate all cultures equally through our programming, public service outreach efforts and community education.
NMGC Mission:
The National Multicultural Greek Council promotes multiculturalism by advocating for justice and equity, cultivating interfraternal relationships, and empowering its member organizations.
NMGC Goals:
- To provide a forum that allows for the free exchange of ideas, programs, and services between its constituent fraternities and sororities;
- To promote the awareness of multicultural diversity within collegiate institutions, their surrounding communities, and the greater community-at-large; and
- To support and promote the works of its member organizations.
