Founded in 1954, the Inter-Greek Council is the legislative, standard-setting, and coordinating body for all fraternities and sororities in the four subcouncils: Panhellenic Association, Multicultural Greek Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council, and Interfraternity Council. The purpose of IGC is to maintain a high plane of fraternal life and interfraternal relations, to further intellectual and social accomplishments, to cooperate with the University, community,and administration in the maintenance of high social standards, and to improve and maintain relations between the fraternal organizations and the surrounding community.
IGC sponsors many traditional annual events, including Greek Sing during Saluki Family Weekend (since 1936), Theta Xi Variety Show (since 1947), Greek Week, Safe Halloween, and the annual Greek Awards. Many educational programs are also sponsored by IGC which cover topics like time management, risk management, anti-hazing, and study skills. These events bring together all fraternities and sororities at SIU. Additionally, each fraternity and sorority sends representatives to IGC’s bimonthly meetings.
