United Greek Council

Northern Arizona University’s United Greek Council (UGC) serves as the governing body for all fraternities/sororities that identify as multicultural and/or have organizing principles that celebrate traditionally underrepresented students.

This council functions in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Northern Arizona University United Greek Council. The Coordinator of Fraternity and Sorority Life and a Graduate Assistant advise UGC. You can also find us on Facebook and Twitter.

The council is made up of:

• an executive board
• eight chapter presidents
• eight United Greek Council delegates representing each UGC entity

Note: Each UGC sorority and fraternity will have its own individualized recruitment calendar of events. You can find out more information about those events at the UGC Showcase, or you can contact chapter presidents to find out what kind of recruitment schedule their chapter will have.
