Greek Councils
Council leadership is a type of peer governance influenced by indigenous communities, based on peace and consensus, and aligned with the seventh generation principle.
Governing councils are responsible for coordinating joining processes, providing leadership opportunities, facilitating educational and social programming, holding organizations accountable to community bylaws and expectations, and advocating for the future of fraternity and sorority life.
At SDSU, each fraternity/sorority chapter is required to belong to one of the four Greek councils:
United Sorority & Fraternity Council (USFC)
10 sorority chapters
4 fraternity chapters
20 members per chapter
270+ total membership
Founded in 1997 as the first multicultural Greek council in the country, USFC serves as the governing body for culturally-based sororities and fraternities.
National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC)
4 sorority chapters
4 fraternity chapters
6 members per chapter
40+ total membership
A collaborative organization of nine historically Black Greek-lettered fraternities and sororities, sometimes collectively referred to as the "Divine Nine."
College Panhellenic Association (CPA)
9 sorority chapters
305 members per chapter
2,750+ total membership
The governing body for inter/national sorority chapters that are NPC member organizations, CPA ("Panhellenic") is the largest active women's organization on campus.
Interfraternity Council (IFC)
13 fraternity chapters
117 members per chapter
1,500+ total membership
The governing body for inter/national fraternity chapters, many of which are NIC member organizations, founded in 1975 at SDSU.
While organizations have different cultural foundings, membership is open to all!
Note: A social fraternity or sorority may impose a gender limitation as permitted by Education Code Section 66273 and Title 5, California Code of Regulations, section 41500. Council joining processes are open to all students regardless of gender identity, but each organization determines their own membership selection criteria. Students who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ are encouraged to reach out to chapters directly with any questions or to the Pierce Greek Life Center for additional support.
