How to Join

Membership selection in cultural based sororities and historically Black sororities are individual processes that are different within each organization. The sororities within the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) and the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) choose the time in which they will select new members. This process, known as membership intake, generally begins with an interest meeting followed by a period of new membership education. The membership process culminates with initiation and a new member presentation show/performance in which the organization's new members are revealed to the community.

Joining a sorority in the MGC or NPHC is a lifelong commitment to a far-reaching national organization that is both exciting and rewarding. The sisterhood and dedication to community service that you will share as a member of MGC and NPHC sororities is unlike any other.

 

Here are a few tips to get you started:

Learn the Basics: Research the various organizations within the MGC and NPHC. Look for a sorority that encompasses the values, goals and objectives that are most fitting with your own. Visit their national and local websites and look for any publications that discuss the origin and basic tenants of the organization.

Fill out the Council Interest Forms: MGC and NPHC both have interest forms and if you want members of the councils to reach out to you to provide more information, we highly recommend filling out the interest form!

  • 2023 National Pan-Hellenic Council Interest Form

Attend Events: Look for flyers, social media invitations and other publicity about programs and functions that will be hosted by the sororities that you are interested in. Events are most frequently advertised on the Instagram and other social media platforms. Your attendance can not only show your interest in the organization, but also give you a better understanding of their programs and make connections with the members.

Say Hello: Once you have identified the sorority that you are interested in joining, do not be afraid to introduce yourself. Choosing the sorority that you would like to join is a serious decision, and one that can be greatly impacted by your interactions and conversations with the members.

Be Prepared: Sororities seek new members that have an understanding, genuine appreciation and respect for the organization. Excellent candidates for membership are those that have researched its history, exemplify its standards and values, have leadership and community service experience, and can be a positive addition to the chapter. Take a moment to identify the personal experiences, accomplishments and beliefs that you can bring to the chapter as a new member.

Attend an Informational: A sorority'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.
