Involvement & Engagement 143|Page www.kutztown.edu/thekey All fraternal organizations were founded on the principles of scholarship, leadership, service, and fellowship. Because of this, the United Greek Council exists to promote a collaborative pursuit of excellence among these four pillars. UGC is involved in planning and participating in various educational and social programs throughout the year. Some of these programs/events include: • Welcome Week Events • National Hazing Prevention Week • Meet the Greeks • Homecoming events • Educational programming on topics such as alcohol awareness and sexual assault prevention • Sponsorship of student delegates to regional and national Greek conferences and leadership institutes • Leadership workshops • Stompin’ Grounds Yard show • Greek Week There are three governing councils that fall under UGC: College Panhellenic Council (CPC), Kutztown Fraternal Council (KFC), and Multicultural Greek Council (MGC). These councils provide governance and programming to their respective member chapters and coordinate recruitment/intake efforts on campus. In addition to programming and educational efforts through all four Greek councils on campus, each recognized chapter sponsors programs for their members and the campus community throughout the year. UGC is a standing committee represented on the Student Government Board.
