INTERCULTURAL GREEK COUNCIL

Our Intercultural Greek Council at Villanova serves our Culturally-Based Fraternal Organizations (CBFO) community on campus. IGC includes organizations from the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), National Multicultural Greek Council (NMGC), and National Asian/Pacific Islander Panhellenic Association (NAPA) fraternities and sororities at Villanova.

“The on-campus fraternity and sorority life helped create my community on campus by surrounding me with people who value the leadership, service, and fun involved with Greek life. As a student-athlete, joining my fraternity enabled me to build deep relationships with the student body that extended beyond athletics. Through fraternity and sorority life, I developed my leadership skills, not only through executive leadership roles, but also through informal leadership roles, such as being a mentor or big brother to incoming members.”

—Elijah Smith, IGC President

HOW TO JOIN

All students must have completed at least one full semester at Villanova or have transferred to Villanova with at least one semester of credits to be eligible for recruitment or intake.

Students hoping to participate in the recruitment process must have at least a 2.7 cumulative GPA. Although this is the minimum GPA required to participate in recruitment, it does not guarantee membership—many chapters maintain their own GPA requirements.

All students must also be in good disciplinary standing with the University to participate in recruitment or intake processes.

PNMs must also complete a Bystander Intervention Training through the Office of Health Promotion before participating in any formal recruitment or intake process. Click HERE to register for one of the required training sessions listed below.

Please note: These are the ONLY Bystander Intervention Training sessions available before Spring 2027 recruitment and intake processes begin. No exceptions will be made for students who do not complete this requirement. Students who fail to complete the training will not be eligible to participate in a formal recruitment or intake process. Training sessions have limited capacity. Once a session reaches capacity, it will no longer appear as an option on the registration form, and you will need to select another available session. We strongly encourage you to register early to ensure you are able to complete this requirement. Students will receive an email prior to their registered session confirming the training location.

The individual fraternities and sororities within IGC host their own recruitment and/or intake processes at different times throughout the year. To learn more about lntercultural Greek Council Organizations, expectations of membership, recruitment and/or intake timelines, or for general information, please email us. First year students, are not eligible for any intake or orientation processes until the Spring semester.
