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 visit our website or contact Kyle McGee, the MGFC advisor via email at km926@cornell.edu
