COLLEGE STATION, Texas — As Texas A&M University commemorates 40 years of Greek Life, one council is marking a milestone of its own. The Multicultural Greek Council (MGC), one of the oldest councils of its kind in the nation, is celebrating 25 years of leadership, service and community on campus.
Founded in 1999, MGC was established to support culturally based fraternities and sororities seeking connection, purpose and representation within the Aggie Greek community. Today, MGC includes 17 chapters and more than 400 students from a wide range of traditions and experiences.
“MGC is a one-of-a-kind community, and it was an absolute honor to advise them,” said Jay Skye, who served as MGC advisor from 2017 to 2023. “The student leaders created the MGC Roadmap, which became a multi-year strategic plan that prioritized academic excellence, council unity, and promotion of MGC on campus… I had the privilege of working with students who truly embodied the Aggie Core Values and created a community that supports leadership and career development, academic excellence and student success.”
As Greek Life has evolved at Texas A&M, MGC has remained a dynamic part of that growth—advancing student success through service, scholarship and collaboration.
AnneMarie Garza-Garcia, Class of 2004 and former MGC president, shared: “Working with the MGC I was able to gain a wealth of knowledge and extraordinary experiences that prepared me for leadership roles… The unity of Latino and Multicultural Greek organizations showed me the power of the collective.”
“As an educator in the public education system, I serve my community through advocacy for our most marginalized students,” she added. “This passion stems from my work and experiences at Texas A&M University.”
That foundation continues to grow. Students in MGC have gone on to serve in leadership roles across campus, launch successful careers and support the next generation of Aggie Greeks. Their experiences reflect the broader legacy of Greek Life at Texas A&M: student-led, values-driven, and committed to building community.
“As a proud Aggie, I had the honor of getting to know MGC members on programs and events while I was an undergrad,” said former advisor Sade Love. “MGC has developed so much and become an awesome force on Texas A&M’s campus. They are truly a dynamic organization that will continue to thrive.”
As the council celebrates 25 years, its legacy is a testament to what happens when students lead with vision and build with intention. And as Greek Life at Texas A&M marks its 40th year, councils like MGC continue to shape what it means to be part of a tradition—one defined not only by history, but by impact.
