The Office Fraternity and Sorority Life is excited to announce the addition of a new council, The Music Independent Council or MIC. This brings FAMU to a total of four councils. MIC will house and act as the governing body of our musical, fine arts and performance-oriented organizations. These four councils pride themselves on individuality while recognizing common values and principles. While we created a fourth council, we also restructured CIO and PFC by rearranging some organizations housed under their umbrellas. By relocating specific orgs. and creating MIC, the councils are in a better place to help with the governed organizations, be a true resource to one another, increase collaborations and encourage unity, bring clarity to the flow of communication, and so much more.

    Councils

    • NPHC Logo


      NPHC

      ...is comprised of nine historically Black Greek-letter organizations (BGLOs) that make up the National Pan-Hellenic Council. Collectively, these organizations are referred to as "The Divine Nine." Each of these fraternities and sororities is rich in history. NPHC was chartered January 1997 here at FAMU.

      NPHC promotes intentional and meaningful interactions through forums, meetings and other mediums for the exchange of information and engages in cooperative programming and initiatives through various activities, modes, and functions for the mutual interest and betterment of member organizations and the FAMU community.

    • PCF Logo


      PFC

      ...was created in 1978 via the merger of the Professional Inter-fraternity Conference and Professional Panhellenic Association. The PIC (professional men’s fraternities) and PPA (professional women’s sororities) were each founded in the 1920’s.  Membership in PFC is restricted by fraternal organizations and/or associated major/department/college, class enrollment or special affiliation.

      The Professional Fraternity Council is the organization that strives to unite those organizations under their umbrella and work for their common goals. Representatives from each chapter meet regularly sharing information, discussing issues of concern and interest, and voting on policies and procedures.

    • CIO Logo


      CIO

      ......is the governing body for all organizations who either identify as Greek-Letter or our “Greek Affiliated organizations” who have a recruitment process in line with the fraternal membership intake and recruitment process.

      The Council of Independent Organizations, consists of both fraternities and sororities, both single sex and co-ed. CIO has a focus on specific ethnicities and/or cultures or multiculturalism in general, community service oriented and caters to our “Greek Affiliated’ organizations. These organizations are united to serve as a unique voice advocate, and provide a service for their respective communities.

    • MIC Logo


      MIC

      ...is the governing body for all Greek-Letter organizations who are music and fine arts oriented. MIC is unique to FAMU as the parent council is known as NIMC – The National Interfraternity Music Council.

      MIC is designed to be the unifying voice of those they govern. MIC works in unison to achieve a consensus set of policies, guidelines and staple events that provide collaboration and unifies all of those who stand to benefit from its contributions to music and the arts.
