New NGLA Website


The Northeast Greek Leadership Association (NGLA) is thrilled to announce the launch of its new, user-friendly website, designed to provide fraternity and sorority leaders across the Northeast with enhanced resources, streamlined navigation, and an engaging digital experience. The website, now live at www.ngla.org, marks a significant milestone in NGLA's ongoing commitment to supporting and empowering fraternity and sorority communities.


The website redesign was a collaborative effort involving feedback from students, advisors, and volunteers. NGLA's goal was to create a platform that not only meets the needs of its members but also inspires them to continue their leadership development and contribute positively to their communities.


“We are incredibly excited to launch this new digital platform,” said Tom Murphy, Executive Director of NGLA. “Our goal is to provide our communities with the tools and resources they need to thrive, and this website is a big step forward in making that happen.”


NGLA invites everyone in the fraternity/sorority community to explore the new website, engage with the resources available, and stay connected with the latest updates. This platform is designed to be a dynamic resource, growing and evolving with the needs of our members.


Visit www.ngla.org today to experience the new website and discover how NGLA is advancing leadership across the Northeast.
