and Syracuse (http://fasa.syr.edu/greek_week2014/teams.html)

Which IMO is completely effed up, since it basically takes away the concept of cross-membership in APO and social GLOs. If APO is going to participate, it should be in a referee or (wait for it)service capacity.

Hello!
So, a few quick questions..

1. Regardless of your council and organization:
Is Greek Week mandatory at your school? For example, if your chapter chooses not to participate, are there penalties?

2. If you are in NPHC, are you required to participate in your university's Greek Week?

3. If you go to a PWI, do you have different Greek Life Advisors for the councils or it's just one person over ALL Greek Life? It just seems like there is a lack of understanding between our Greek Life Coordinator and the NPHC at my school.

Thank you all!!!

1.) The time while I attended, Greek Week wasn't mandatory. All Chapters participated in the event.

2.) The NPHC has never been (to my knowledge) involved in Greek Week.

3.) Cleveland State's Department of Student Life has someone who was hired this past academic year as Greek Life Advisor to oversee The Greek Organizations. During that time, She has helped bring back IFC and Started a Sorority Council. The NPHC council was formed this past spring semester and is officially recognized by CSU. they may be advised by a different advisor.

Is their a co-ed national greek council, if yes what's the contact info, if not, why not?

The question is "co-ed what?". If "what" = "Socials", there are few that aren't ethnic (or other minority) and most of those are historically in a the NIC. If for non-socials, all of them are co-ed in the US due to Title IX and thus a single co-ed council exists (say the Professional Fraternity Association (PFA) for professionals, Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS) for honoraries, etc.) The Service Greeks don't really have one (the largest (Alpha Phi Omega) joined the PFA.

National Multicultural Greek Council (http://nationalmgc.org/) or National American Greek Council (http://nagc2004.wix.com/nagc) *may* align with what what Delta Psi Alpha, but I don't know...
