Preamble: We, the representatives of historically established community service fraternities and sororities, similar in structure and background with both graduate and undergraduate chapters, recognizing the need for coordination and cooperation in activities of intercollegiate Greek letter fraternities and sororities, and recognizing that there are certain areas of action and programming that can best be realized by formal organization, do hereby establish such an organization. Purpose: The purpose of the TCU Council shall be to create and maintain high standards in the life of fraternities and sororities; to perpetuate constructive fraternity and sorority relationships; to foster an understanding of the structure and the method of operating among the affiliate organizations; to address, coordinate, and develop action strategies of mutual concern to the affiliate organizations; and to serve as the conduit for such action plans as may be developed.
