What We Do
Advisement
Provide coaching to five Greek governing councils: Asian Greek Council (AGC), USC Interfraternity Council (IFC), Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC), and Panhellenic Council (PHC), and the respective chapters within each council – approximately 20% of the undergraduate student body in 50 chapters.
Community Standards & Accountability
Support and maintain accountability for chapters through the Trojan Greek Standards, a framework for learning, growth, and development of individual chapters, students, and the community, to provide the highest quality membership experience. Partner with the governing council judicial bodies, inter/national organizations, and university entities to support alignment to standards.
Intake & Recruitment
Guide the five governing councils in planning and executing their respective recruiting, onboarding, and university acclimation processes as students explore a sense of belonging and purpose. Educate officers and interested students and families on processes and expectations.
Leadership Learning Communities
As a high impact practice, engage students in integrating learning from the classroom and leadership experiences, paired with peer mentorship, effective practice implementation, and evaluation of initiatives. These intentional and transformational relationships are critical in building community and student learning acquisition.
Partnerships
Cultivate relationships with community stakeholders such as university partners, alumni/ae, inter/national organizations, and parents and families to contribute to student thriving and a meaningful university experience.
Advocacy & Crisis Response
Represent student needs and interests within and outside the university. Respond to crisis and support students in their health and well-being needs.
