This body is formed to provide governance and support of Multicultural Greek-letter organizations, which addresses a unique need at the university. Their purpose of service, academic excellence, cultural awareness, and community obligation add to the commitment and mission of the university. Therefore, the responsibility of the Multicultural Greek-letter organizations is to cooperate with one another, the university student body, and the university administration in furthering the promotion of intellectual, social, and moral development of the Multicultural Greek Council as well as the general community. |

Purpose and Mission
The purpose and mission of the MGC (stated on the agenda and subject to change) is to continue the legacy and vision of the National Panhellenic Council and Latino Greek Organizations on URI’s campus by establishing a Multicultural Greek Council, identifying underrepresented/minority URI undergraduates and maintaining our voice as non-hazing and uplifting Greek organizations.
