Being part of the OMAHA GREEKS community provides students opportunities for excellence through service, scholarship, and social growth. This experience promotes community and understanding beyond college while cultivating life-long friendships and personal development.
Over 500 diverse men and women belong to our 16 different fraternities and sororities. Each chapter is governed by one of four councils: the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), the Collegiate Panhellenic Council (CPC), and the Interfraternity Council (IFC).
Each of the four councils has its own recruitment and membership intake process.
The National Pan-Hellenic Council
Multicultural Greek Council
Collegiate Panhellenic Council
Interfraternity Council
National Pan-Hellenic Council
The National Pan Hellenic Council (NPHC), also known as the “Divine Nine” was founded in 1913. The council is composed of the nine historically African American based fraternities and sororities. At UNO, we have six of these chapters on campus, and NPHC organizations have been a part of our UNO community for over 75 years.
Membership
Organizations within NPHC do not hold a formal recruitment sponsored by their council. Instead the individual chapters will conduct their recruiting through a Membership Intake Process (MIP). MIP takes place over several events during a semester. These recruitment events typically consist of informational meetings, philanthropic and educational sessions, and social events. At the informational sessions, potential members can get an overview of each chapter and request membership. Once a student has been approved to move forward with the process, they will continue their community education from the selected chapter. After the student has completed their specific educational process, the student will be able to “reveal” themselves as the newest member(s) of that organization.
If you are interested in joining one of our NPHC organizations, we strongly encourage you to attend their events and designate interest by filling out the form below or by contacting the OMAHA GREEKS coordinator.
To obtain more information about one these organizations and how to join, please visit the organization’s national website or contact unofsl@unomaha.edu.

Multicultural Greek Council
The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) is a collaborative organization for Multicultural Greek lettered fraternities and sororities. MGC is the governing council for the three culturally based fraternity and sororities at UNO.
Membership
MGC fraternities and sororities do not hold formal Recruitment as a council. Instead member organizations participate in a process called Intake where interested persons reach out to organization members to express interest in membership.
At the beginning of every semester, each chapter will hold its recruitment period. These recruitment events typically consist of informational meetings, philanthropic and educational sessions, and social events. At the informational sessions, potential members can get an overview of each chapter and request membership. Once a student has been approved to move forward with the process, they will continue their community education from the selected chapter. After the student has completed their specific educational process, the student will be able to “reveal” themselves as the newest member(s) of that organization.
If you are interested in joining a MGC fraternity or sorority, we encourage you to attend their events, research the organizations, and attend other programs held by the chapter to learn more about the organization and its members.
To obtain more information about these fraternities and sororities and how to join, visit each chapter's individual website or contact unofsl@unomaha.edu.

Collegiate Panhellenic Council
The National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), founded in 1902, is an umbrella organization for 26 (inter)national women’s sororities. At UNO, four of these organizations are currently represented and are governed by the Collegiate Panhellenic Council (CPC).
Recruitment
The CPC sororities at UNO utilize Formal Recruitment as a primary method of recruiting new members. This process takes place in the fall and allows you to meet the women in each sorority, make connections, and decide which organization is the right fit. Under the guidance of recruitment counselors, students will be placed in groups and given the chance to learn about all Panhellenic sororities on campus and meet current members.
Fall 2023 Primary Recruitment will all take place in-person on the Dodge campus. The current dates for recruitment are August 25, 26, 27 and September 1 and 2. If chapter totals allow, some chapters may have the opportunity to add new members to their group throughout the year through Continuous Open Bidding (COB). This process is much more informal and does not require a sign up.

Recruitment
The IFC fraternities at UNO use Formal Recruitment to recruit new members. This takes place in the fall and is an organized time period where you can meet the men in each fraternity, build friendships, and decide which organization is right for you. They also hold informal recruitment events throughout the year. This gives students the opportunity to learn more about the fraternity and give both chapter members and potential members the chance to become acquainted as friends.
