Multicultural Greek Council
- About Us
The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) is a board of students leaders who were elected to govern the seven sororities and six fraternities at California State University, Chico.
The purpose of MGC is to provide the university and community with information on member organizations, to work together as allies in change to encourage responsible behavior amongst one another, to promote unity within the community and to promote the retention of minorities in higher education.

**First-time, first-year students are ineligible to participate in “rush” or go through recruitment in their first semester at Chico State. (Read below for further information)
**First-year transfer students are eligible to “rush” or go through recruitment during their first semester.
*Each Council and/or fraternity/sorority have additional requirements and we recommend to contact and connect with each individual organization for further recruitment requirements.
First-time, first-year students, more commonly known as “freshman” are NOT eligible to “rush” or go through recruitment their first semester for many reasons.
Academics:
- We want to ensure that first-year students get acclimated to college level academic courses prior to adding further social commitments.
Time-Management:
- Joining a social fraternity/sorority can be time-consuming, working on your time management skills is crucial to be successful in your academics and social life.
Finances:
- Every fraternity/sorority has a cost that is associated with their specific recruitment requirement and membership educational process, being financially prepared to join a social fraternity/sorority is a good rule of thumb.
- The office of FSA is NOT held responsible for any financial discrepancies associated with new member processes, recruitment process, national dues, chapter dues, etc.
- Be mindful and ask financial questions to each organization prior to making your decision.
