Fraternity/Sorority Governance Councils
SUNY Plattsburgh works closely with fraternities and sororities to allow these groups to govern themselves and hold each other to commonly agreed upon values and standards.
There are two governance and advocacy councils — one for fraternities and one for sororities — that develop solutions to community-wide challenges and support the organizations that fall under their governance.
Interfraternity Council (IFC)
Inter-Sorority Association (ISA)
The Inter-Sorority Association (ISA) is the governing and advocacy body of the sororities at SUNY Plattsburgh.
Community Wide Work Groups
The Interfraternity Council and Inter-Sorority Association are involved in the following committees/work groups:
Sexual/Interpersonal Violence and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
This work group includes IFC/ISA representatives and staff from the Offices of DEI, Title IX, and Title VI, the campus Wellness Coordinator and the Director of Fraternity & Sorority Life. The purpose is to engage fraternity and sorority members in the prevention of sexual and interpersonal violence in their organizations and in the larger SUNY Plattsburgh community and to create dialogue about topics of gender, race, class, ability, sexual orientation and other areas of diversity, assist in the identification and mediation of problematic incidents and encourage collaboration between groups on topics of diversity.
Hazing Prevention
This work group includes student representatives from IFC and ISA, the Student Association, Campus Housing and Community Living and Plattsburgh State Athletics and staff from the Offices of Student Engagement and Leadership. The purpose is to develop a prevention strategy to facilitate conversations and initiatives to combat hazing on campus and to foster positive student group joining experiences.
Plattsburgh’s Got Talent Committee
This committee of IFC/ISA and fraternity/sorority members plans the annual campus-wide philanthropic Plattsburgh's Got Talent Competition.
IFC and ISA also endorse and financially support the annual campus fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
No More Cancer Rally

Email: [email protected]
The purpose of the No More Cancer Rally is to plan the annual campus fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
