United Greek Council Information

Established in 2002, the United Greek Council (UGC) aims to unify historically underrepresented chapters on the UW Seattle campus and continues to do so today. Unlike traditional IFC or Panhellenic fraternities and sororities that mandate their membership to reside in furnished houses on Greek Row, UGC’s relatively young status at the University of Washington justifies why many chapters do not have permanent residences. Yet, through numerous social calendar events throughout the year, UGC organizations strive to promote an active campus presence while demonstrating the power of unity among multicultural Greeks with the wider Greek and UW community. In the years since the establishment of the council, UGC is now home to twelve active Greek organizations that span across Asian, Latino, and progressive interests. Built upon the three pillars of Community, Culture, and Academics, members of UGC continually display qualities symbolic of these, while representing the excellence of their respective chapters. As the council expands in size, the United Greek Council will continue to provide a safe and inclusive space for the expression of diverse opinions and meaningful social relationships.
