Signature Event April 19-20, 2025 Homecoming September 26, 2025 T he Mizzou Greek Alliance represents 17 of the largest fraternities at the University of Missouri, accounting for more than 60% of the fraternal population. Through our ongoing collaboration with the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life, we work to support the academic success, social development, and safety of our members. Together, we have made significant strides in addressing key issues such as hazing, substance abuse, and mental health challenges faced by many college students today. Our training programs, which have become a national model, focus on empowering students to prevent hazing, manage substance use, and cope with mental health concerns. Additionally, the MGA provides a unified voice to the university on matters related to the Greek system, ensuring that we offer clear, consistent recommendations on important issues. The MGA's academic performance consistently outpaces the all-male and all-fraternity averages at Mizzou. In fact, over 40% of MGA members were named to the dean's list last year, further highlighting the commitment of our members to their education. Update My Record!
