The Interfraternity Council is the governing body for nine fraternities at GW. The purpose of the council is to promote fellowship within the Greek community and set standards and governing rules for the members of the chapters. IFC at GW was founded for the purposes of promoting fraternity life and providing a forum for the discussion of issues that affect fraternities and their members. Since 1858, IFC fraternities at GW have come together under the common bond of brotherhood to improve campus life and GW's surrounding community.

Although each fraternity and sorority within MGC has an individual cultural or identity focus, none of the member organizations are culturally exclusive.
