Cross Council Exchange

Each semester, our four governing councils come together to foster relationships and gain greater understanding of each other. Staff work collectively with students to develop topics and activities. Questions about this event, registration, or to schedule follow-up conversations about Cross-Council discussions, contact Stephen J. Black.

Cross Council Exchange is an opportunity for chapter members to learn more about what the four governing councils do and how they can work collaboratively by discussing similarities and uniqueness of our community members!

For SOFE Points:

For all chapters: between 2 and 4 representatives
- Please do not send more than required attendance due to seating capacity
- Fall 2024 CCE is a reimagined educational experience, so we have decreased the number of students required from each chapter.
Attendees should be active members of the organization
IFC/MGC/NPHC/Panhellenic Executive Council Members are encouraged but not required to attend.
No more than 4 members of one chapter should attend the event for intentionality and conversation.

Cross Council Exchange was established in 2014 in efforts to foster stronger sense of community, awareness and enhance cultural competencies within the sorority and fraternity community. Through CCE, staff within the Office of Sorority have been able to host and collaborate with intern/external stakeholders to, “develop and promote intentional opportunities to engage with diverse communities.” (Division of Student Life, Priority 5.3)

Goals of Attending Cross Council Exchange

Participants will have the opportunity to explore and enhance their awareness of their own personal identities
Participants will have the opportunity to gain an appreciation of others’ personal identities
Participants will be able to build relationships across all four councils
