How to Join

Each organization in the MGC celebrates a unique culture or ethnicity. Research each organization, looking for those that encompass a part of your own identity or align with a community that you strongly support. Try to find a fraternity or sorority that reflects the values, goals, and objectives that are most fitting with your own. Visit their national and local websites to find publications that discuss the origin and basic tenants of the organization.

Look for flyers, Facebook invitations and other publicity about programs and functions that will be hosted by the chapters that you are interested in. Your attendance will show your interest in the organization, give you a better understanding of their programs and make connections with the members.

Once you have identified the organization that you want to join, let them know that you are interested. Choosing the organization that you would like to join is a serious decision and one that can be greatly impacted by your interactions and conversations with the member.

Chapters seek new members that have something positive to offer. Show that you have a genuine appreciation and interest in the organization, have researched its history, exemplify its standards, have leadership and community service experience, and can contribute to making the chapter stronger.

An organization’s informational/interest meeting is where the criteria for membership are explained. Informational meetings may be publicized via flyers or by a direct invitation from the chapter.
