Greek Governing Councils

The Greek community is a self-governing community providing a multitude of opportunities for both personal and professional development. Greek chapters at SUNY Oswego require membership in one of four governing councils, which operate much like a city council. The governing councils are responsible for the community budget, activity calendar, programming, and policies. All members are represented in our larger community council, Greek Council, which provides education, guidance, and programming for all chapters in the Greek community.  Each council has elected Executive Board members and representatives from each chapter that are either elected or slated into positions by their chapters.

The council is made up of presidents from each chapter.
