About us
Established in 1998, the National Multicultural Greek Council serves as an advisory body to its member organizations, which are autonomous but share the common goal of promoting multicultural awareness, supporting community service, and celebrating cultural diversity.
Multicultural fraternal organizations emerged in the 1980s and 1990s. These organizations sought to address the lack of support for minority groups entering higher education, while also reflecting the growing cultural diversity of American society. Unlike single-cultural organizations, multicultural fraternal groups embraced a variety of cultural identities, appealing to students who identified with multiple cultures or diverse backgrounds.
NMGC defines multiculturalism as not only diversity of membership, but a concrete commitment to acknowledge and celebrate all cultures equally through programming, public service outreach efforts and community education.
