About the Interfraternity Council 

The Interfraternity Council (IFC) brings together Indiana State’s fraternity chapters and provisional chapters to support a community built on leadership, service, brotherhood, and personal growth. 

Many IFC member organizations are affiliated with the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC), which provides resources and support for fraternity leaders, advisors, alumni, and local fraternity communities. Through IFC, students can explore meaningful opportunities to lead, serve others, build lifelong connections, and contribute to the advancement of the campus and the surrounding community.

Mission

The Interfraternity Council (IFC) exists to advance the interests of Indiana State University and its fraternity community. We are committed to the intellectual, emotional, physical, and social growth of our members, to preparing them for meaningful lives and careers beyond graduation, and to upholding high standards across our chapters. We foster cooperation and mutual support among fraternities and the broader University community, and hold one another accountable for the wellbeing of every member.

Vision

The Interfraternity Council (IFC) at Indiana State University is the governing body for eight (8) men’s fraternities on campus. The Interfraternity Council is dedicated to the academic and social development of its respective fraternities and their members. Members in IFC organizations are active in every aspect of campus. With a diverse array of fraternities, each with its own unique qualities, there is a fit for each individual looking to join a fraternity in the council.

Our Terminology

A formal invitation extended by a chapter to a potential new member (PNM) to join, offered at the end of the recruitment process.

The local branch of a national or international fraternity operating at a specific university; each chapter typically has its own Greek-letter designation (e.g., Beta Chapter, Indiana Delta, etc.).

Any action or activity expected of a member or new member that humiliates, degrades, endangers, or abuses a person, regardless of willingness to participate; prohibited by university policy and/or state law.

The self-governing body that represents and coordinates policy, recruitment standards, and programming across a the campus fraternities.

The formal ceremony through which a new member becomes a fully recognized, lifetime member of the fraternity, often involving rituals specific to that organization.

A prospective member who has a close family relation (often a parent or sibling) who was previously initiated into a specific fraternity.

The parent organization that oversees all chapters of a given fraternity, sets overarching policy and standards, and provides resources, training, and accountability structures.

A student who has accepted a bid and is completing the chapter's education program prior to full initiation; organizations use differing terminology such as "pledge" or "new member".

The formal process by which potential members seek-out fraternity chapters and are evaluated for potential membership, typically involving a series of structured events over several days or weeks.

Judicial Procedures

The Interfraternity Council at Indiana State University operates as a self-governing, peer-led organization with an independent Judicial Board responsible for holding member chapters accountable to the IFC Constitution, Bylaws, and Code of Conduct. Composed of chapter-elected justices and chaired by the IFC Executive Vice President, the Judicial Board addresses alleged chapter-level policy violations through a fair and educational process rooted in due process. Matters involving hazing, sexual misconduct, or other issues under the University's Student Code of Conduct are handled through the University's own conduct process rather than by the IFC.

When a concern is raised, chapters are typically first given the opportunity to resolve it through an Informal Resolution Hearing; more serious matters, or cases that cannot be resolved informally, proceed to a Formal Judicial Board Hearing. Sanctions are educational in nature and are always paired with a defined path back to good standing. Chapters have the right to appeal outcomes through established IFC channels, ensuring the process remains fair, consistent, and centered on chapter growth and community accountability.
