About:

The Inter-Cultural Greek Council (ICGC) represents JMU's cultural-based but not exclusive greek letter organizations, which include our Black Greek Letter Organizations, Latinx Fraternities and Sororities, and Asian-Interest Fraternities and Sororities. ICGC serves as the governing body for the 13 organizations we have chartered on this campus. These organizations have a rich history and legacy rooted in brotherhood/sisterhood, service, friendship, advocacy, and access.
