The Office of Greek Life Staff is proud to announce that Delta Gamma Fraternity established an award named for our very own Mary Beth Seiler. Delta Gamma presented this award to Mary Beth at the Association of Fraternity and Sorority Advisors annual conference in December 2014. The Mary Beth Seiler Award will recognize outstanding campus partners for their work with fraternities and sororities.
The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) was founded in 2002. Many of the fraternities and sororities within MGC were chartered at Michigan in the 1970’s, 80’s, 90’s, and 2000’s, prior to the council’s formation. The council celebrates and promotes multiculturalism through programming and service housed in several racial, ethnic, and cultural communities.
The University of Michigan chapter of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) was chartered on October 21, 2005. Prior to then, Michigan housed it’s historically African American fraternities and sororities in the Black Greek Association, a council created prior to being chartered with the NPHC nationally. NPHC fraternities and sororities were founded during a time when Black students were prohibited from joining historically white fraternities and sororities due to discriminatory practices and policies in the early 1900s.
After a national search, December 2, 2014 was the official start date for Shannon Cohen, Greek Life’s second Assistant Director. With membership in Michigan’s Greek Community at an all-time high, additional university funding was welcome news. In addition to a second AD, the funding allowed for the position of NPHC/MGC Advisor to be made permanent.

On Thursday, April 16, 2015 the Greek Community celebrated individuals and chapters for their hard work and dedication through out the year. The night was unexpectedly interrupted just after the individual awards were presented due to a building problem. The building was evacuated and the chapter awards were not presented. We are thrilled to announce the chapter award winners below. Congratulations!!
