The Unified Greek Council oversees both multicultural and National Pan-Hellenic Council organizations. The fraternities are Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., and Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity, Inc. The sororities are Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc., Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., and Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc. The Unified Greek Council assists with chapter operations, recruitment, and academic excellence. Each organization is filled with individuals holding multiple leadership positions and involved across campus. Get to know them by coming to an event or to a social!
Saint Leo University participates in deferred recruitment, meaning formal recruitment takes place in the Spring instead of the Fall. Deferred recruitment allows first year students the opportunity to fully transition to college successfully & integrate into academic life. Deferred recruitment also allows students to learn about the Greek organizations that are available to them as each organization has its own unique history, traditions, values, philanthropy focus, and requirements for membership.

The Unified Greek Council does not have a "traditional" recruitment weeks like the Panhellenic or Interfraternity Councils. Their unique process is referred to as “Membership Intake.” Interested individuals should attend chapter and council hosted events to show interest. Similarly, interested individuals should attend a chapter hosted informational meeting and research the organization of their interest. If you have any questions or want to learn more about membership, please email leogreeklife@gmail.com.
