The NIC provides crucial support to IFCs through working with our staff and volunteers as well as our organization, campus and programming partners, to curate this library of IFC resources. Combined with the support you receive at the campus level and from your inter/national organization, we believe a well-rounded collection of resources ranging from officer manuals to instructional videos can set up IFC leaders for success.

IFC General Resources
The mission of every Interfraternity Council.
This resource is an example of an IFC Constitution & Bylaws. It shows how these documents should look and what should be included in them.
The IFC Judicial Policies are a critical component to IFC being a self-governing organization, and holding member fraternities accountable to established community values, policies and general good conduct. This resource includes sample IFC Judicial Policies from the Model Constitution and Bylaws that your IFC can utilize in the development of your accountability measures.
Model Officer Installation Ceremony
This resource is a script that can be used as a model for the installation ceremony of newly elected IFC officers and representatives.
Belonging & Inclusion Resources
The NIC’s Belonging & Inclusion Task Force has created resources to better equip fraternities, IFCs, members and the community to use their fraternity as a platform for improving society.
About the NIC Campus Support model
Bundling the tools you need to improve the fraternity experience — consultation, resources, programs, assessments, and even discounts on services that will benefit your fraternity and sorority community — to maximize value for your fraternity community, while helping you streamline planning and budgeting.
