  • Greek Jewish Council -


    Greek life is big here at the U-Dub... but why should Greek activities be limited to fraternity's and sorority's chapter schedules? the Greek Jewish Council (GJC) is a group dedicated to social, cultural and community service events for Jews in the Greek system!  We plan great activities that combine Greek events with Jewish life on campus!  Think you're the only Jew in your house?  Sounds good to us!  Stop by one of our weekly meetings or contact Lauren if you want to learn more about the GJC
