I was around when the MGC had just been formed on my campus, so I know it's a hassle. We had 7 or 8 organizations as founding members, though, so it was a little bit of a different situation.

I don't know how being a liason would benefit NPHC or NIC/NPC organizations. They already have a lot to deal with being in their respective councils, so adding another governing body would just be extra work for them. You might have to consider being affiliate members of the councils that are already there until there are more LGLOs/MCGLOs on your campus.

thanks for the suggestion.....affiliate membership probably IS better, especially for our situation......as far as our founding members, we definitely would have liked more, but, thats the climate of multicultural/latino greek life at MSU.......it took 10 years after we were founded for ODPhi to be founded, were getting there....slowly, but surely.....

Is the absence of LGLOs and MCGLOs due to lack of interest or lack of support?

i think it has to do with the cultural climate at MSU. dont get me wrong, we have 6 out of the 9 of D9, sigma alpha chi and odphi, but lets say a girl from MSU wanted to bring kdchi or the gammas down here, she would have a very hard time drumming up the minimum girls she would need to found the org....there most definitely is a need for variety of MGLO's and LGLO's (new blood if you will) i for one would love that, especially with us founding the MGC, but, there just isnt.....

No problem.

Was reading through another thread and thought of something. Many schools have "Independent Greek Councils" formed. If you have other organizations that may not necessarily be LGLOs or MCGLOs, you may have more success and more GLOs to choose from.
