Multicultural Greek and Fraternal Council (MGFC) Intake

MGFC fraternities and sororities are culturally based (but not culturally exclusive) groups that range from historically Latinx, Black/African/African-American, and Asian-interest. Most MGFC organizations are continuously recruiting members all year round. Asian-interest groups hold Rush at the beginning of each semester and dates are announced once students return from summer and winter break. There are various opportunities throughout the academic year to find your home in the council.

For more information please contact Kyle McGee, the MGFC advisor via email at km926@cornell.edu

Housing Information

Sophomore Housing Information Link

If a student decides to participate in recruitment and accept a bid, they will need to work with their organization to determine if they will be living in-house. If living in-house with their sorority or fraternity, students will need to affirm that arrangement in the Housing portal March 4 through March 7. Students who will not be living in-house will go through the General Room Selection process, beginning March 11, to select qualified second-year housing that complies with the two-year residential requirement.
