Our mission is to be a positive example to the community through wide
and wise human service, through mutual respect and helpfulness and
through the development of character inspired by fraternity and
sorority life.
Benefits
Service
The IGLC provides opportunities for members to serve the community. All
Fraternities and Sororities take great pride in the projects they
undertake and the dedication which they show. Not only do we all come
together to serve causes such as Sun Youth, Centraide and War Child
Canada. Each individual chapter makes significant contributions to the
community on their own as well.
Leadership
By being in a fraternity or sorority, many opportunities to develop
leadership skills are available. This is an excellent arena to develop
skills a student feels that he or she needs to work on as well as
exercises those skills which have been mastered. Examples of roles
that can be taken on a chapter level range from organizing the social
activities, the financial activities or even overseeing the chapter
as president. The IGLC itself has an executive council as well.
Friendship
The friendships made within the chapters are based in a strong bond of
brotherhood and sisterhood. These friendships will last for the rest of
your life. Even when your college days are over, your membership in a
Greek organization is something to hold close to your heart. The friends
you make here are ones you can learn from and continue to be inspired by
for years to come.
On a broader scale, being part of a Greek community opens doors that a
student may have otherwise never seen. By meeting people in several
faculties with varied interests, one discovers other campus activities
such as athletics, academic clubs and social clubs. Fraternity and Sorority
members have the opportunity to become very well rounded individuals.
Scholarship
While extracurricular activities do demand an extra time commitment,
being surrounded by a group of individuals with similar goals can motivate
you. With a strong support system of brothers and sisters, keeping focused
can be made easier. Having others to count on does make a difference when it
comes to morale. Futhermore, chapters do have a minimum GPA requirement
and will help you to attain it by setting goals.
