Greek Governing Councils

Greek organizations at SIUE are self-governed by four organizations. A description of each organization is given below.

Collegiate Panhellenic Council (CPC)

The CPC is the local governing body for the three SIUE sororities under the National Panhellenic Council. CPC is responsible for running formal recruitment each fall, and promoting sisterhood in the Greek community through educational programs, community service, and social activities. The sorority chapters that are affiliated with CPC are: Alpha Phi, Alpha Sigma Tau, and Delta Phi Epsilon. For more information about sororities, go to the SIUE CPC website or the National Panhellenic Conference.

Interfraternity Council (IFC)

The IFC is the local governing body for the four SIUE fraternities that are affiliated with the National Interfraternity Conference. IFC promotes fraternity rush, oversees risk management issues, hosts educational and recreational programs for the Greek community, and holds fraternity-wide philanthropy and service events. The four fraternity chapters that make up IFC are: Alpha Kappa Lambda, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Sigma Pi. For more information about fraternities, go to the SIUE IFC website or the North American Interfraternity Conference.

National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC)

The NPHC is the local governing body for the eight historically African-American fraternities and sororities that are chartered at SIUE. NPHC sponsors different events for its member organizations and the SIUE community as a whole. Some traditional events include: the Marchdown stepshow, NPHC Week, the NPHC dance,, and various service programs. There are four fraternities in NPHC: Alpha Phi Alpha, Iota Phi Theta, Kappa Alpha Psi, and Omega Psi Phi; and four sororities: Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Sigma Gamma Rho, and Zeta Phi Beta.

Greek Council

Greek Council brings together the fraternity and sorority chapters from the other three councils, plus Delta Lambda Phi fraternity (a petitioning organization) to help strengthen the Greek community at SIUE. Greek Council represents the interests of all SIUE fraternities and sororities, and sponsors events like Greek Week and the Ebony and Ivory All-Greek Stepshow, as well as numerous educational programs.
