Governing Councils

The Governing Councils together with the Fraternity & Sorority Life staff provide leadership for the fraternity and sorority Community at Columbia University.

InterGreek Council

The InterGreek Council (IGC) is the self-governing student organization that provides guidelines and support to its member organizations within each of the three councils at Columbia, the InterFraternity Council, Panhellenic Council, and Multicultural Greek Council. The three council presidents bring their affiliated chapters together once a month to meet as one Greek community. The InterGreek Council meetings provide opportunity for member organizations to learn from each other, work together and advocate for community needs. Through cross-council collaboration students achieve a greater level of success within the Greek community.
