Councils

Interfraternity Council (IFC)

The Interfraternity Council is home to Temple’s general interest social fraternities. IFC’s purpose is to promote and perpetuate the best interests of Greek Life and establish unity and spirit among the fraternities of Temple University through organized events. The council offers scholarships to members for their outstanding academic performance and coordinate campus recruitment for all member groups. Men interested in joining an IFC fraternity can meet the member fraternities during Rush, which is typically held at the start of the Fall and Spring Semesters.

Multicultural Greek Council (MGC)

The purpose of the MGC is to bring together multicultural and culturally-based fraternities and sororities and provide opportunities for cooperation within these groups. Member groups participate in the National Multicultural Greek Council (NMGC), the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations (NALFO), and the National Asian Pacific Islander American Panhellenic Association (NAPA), and highlight the cultural diversity here at Temple University. While these groups are culturally-based, they are not limited to members of one particular culture or race.

National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC)

The NPHC is a collaborative organization of nine historically African-American fraternities and sororities, also known as the “Divine Nine.” The NPHC at Temple University consists of 7 of these organizations and fosters cooperative actions of its members in dealing with matters of mutual concern and promotes the well-being of its affiliate fraternities and sororities on Temple’s campus.

Panhellenic Association (PA)

The Temple University Panhellenic Association is a body consisting of Temple’s general interest NPC sororities. The council’s major goals are to facilitate communication amongst chapters, to organize cross-chapter events, and promote a strong Greek sisterhood. Panhellenic's year-long focus is to unite young women across the campus who share similar ideals, such as scholarship, leadership, philanthropic interests, and sisterhood.
