Meet the Chapters

Intercultural Greek Council (IGC) 

Our IGC consists of multiple culturally based organizations. All our chapters belong to the “Divine 9”, an organization of 9 chapters that are historically African American. Some of our chapters are city-wide, which means the chapter has members from multiple schools in the Philadelphia area.
