Some members of TCU’s fastest growing student population has turned to the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) to help build community.
The seven fraternities and sororities that make-up the council are grounded in culture traditions that bring students together. While some still chose to go through the Pan-Hellenic and Interfraternity council, others are turning to the Multicultural Greek Council.
TCU’s student body is 65% white, compared to about 19% Hispanic or Latino and less than 3% Asian. For the seven organizations, a common goal is to connect with students who are new and seeking a sense of belonging.
The community these organizations are building go far beyond TCU’s campus and remain after students receive their diploma, so much so that alumni are willing give back to support cost and fees of potential new members when needed.
“From school to work to career, so many of us are available for any advice the undergrads need,” Cristian ArguetaSoto, a Lambda Theta Phi alumna, said. “It’s nice that us alumni now with our own careers are able to financially support whether that is donations, supporting fundraisers or financially supporting undergrads, we have a DFW alumni chapter that remains available for any possible needs.”
MGC represents seven organizations: Chi Upsilon Sigma, Kappa Delta Chi, Kappa Lambda Delta, Lambda Theta Alpha, Lambda Theta Phi, Omega Delta Phi and Sigma Lambda Alpha.
These organizations are dedicated, but not limited to Hispanic and Asian American culture, creating a space for students to build connections and relationships with peers. Each group hosts events, engages in philanthropy, has a big/little mentorship system and organizes nightlife activities, continuing to foster community across all aspects of college life.
