Southeastern Greek Leadership Association

The Southeastern Greek Leadership Association (SGLA) is a voluntary association of fraternity and sorority governing councils across the Southeastern United States. We bring together institutions and individuals committed to strengthening fraternity and sorority life on college and university campuses through education, collaboration, and shared leadership.

Our Story

SGLA’s roots date back to 1966, when student leaders, fraternity professionals, and advisors gathered in Jackson, Mississippi to form the Southeastern Interfraternity Conference (SEIFC). For more than 50 years, SEIFC provided educational leadership experiences for fraternity men in the Southeast.

In 2018, SEIFC partnered with the Southeastern Cultural Greek Leadership Summit (SCGLS) to expand training opportunities for leaders of culturally based fraternities and sororities. At the 2019 Leadership Academy, SEIFC Executive Director Gary Wiser announced a new chapter in our journey: the formation of the Southeastern Greek Leadership Association (SGLA). This evolution expanded our reach to include Panhellenic leaders and created a unified experience for all councils.

Our inaugural SGLA Conference was held in Atlanta, Georgia, February 20–22, 2020, and marked the beginning of a new era in cross-council leadership development.

Our Mission

The Southeastern Greek Leadership Association equips students and professionals to build stronger fraternal communities by developing and elevating fraternity and sorority leaders through premier education, cross-council collaboration, and year-round engagement.

Our Vision

To be the most innovative and trusted year-round development hub for fraternity and sorority governing councils, delivering practical programming, cultivating collaboration between councils, and preparing students and professionals to lead with confidence through dynamic, year-round experiences.
