IFC CONSTITUTION
The Interfraternity Council (IFC) at the University
of Pittsburgh is part of a broader spectrum known as
the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC).
The history that surrounds this fraternal entity lies
within their association as a body that has assisted
fraternal organizations in working together.
The mission of the NIC is to advocate the needs of
its member fraternities through enrichment of the fraternity
experience; advancement and growth of the fraternity
community; and enhancement of the educational mission
of the host institutions. The NIC is also committed
to enhancing the benefits of fraternity membership.
Most important to the fraternal experience at Pitt,
is the need to invite new members to join the fraternities
each year. This ensures that membership in each fraternity
will continue. This is done through the process known
as Rush or Recruitment. However, unlike the sororities,
there are no formal recruitment groups or guides. Therefore,
the potential new member is free to look at any house
he desires and is encouraged to look at as many houses
as possible before settling on a decision.
Some of the advantages of becoming a part of a national
fraternity affiliation are:
- Being part of a larger brotherhood on college campuses
in the United States and Canada .
- Having access to services and support of national
organizations which include:
- State, regional, and national leadership conference
for undergraduates and alumni
- Liability and/or property coverage
- Officer manuals and other educational resources
which strengthen chapter operations
- Assistance in outreach and involvement of alumni
advisors
- Consultation services from fraternity staff and
volunteers
- Idea exchange with other chapters of the fraternity
- Scholarships and other support from the fraternity's
foundation
- Chapters being governed by national policies and
procedures regarding alcohol use, hazing, and other
areas of risk management.
- Having national membership education programs and
initiation rituals.
