Living our Fraternal Values.

Today, America continues to face the issue of racism which reminds us as fraternity men we must acknowledge and denounce all forms of hate and intolerance. We must unite around the notion that fraternal bonds are built on concepts of respect, dignity and empathy for all people.

The NIC represents a diverse range of fraternity men and in recent years has invested significant resources in supporting emerging and culturally-based fraternities, as well as enhancing education for all fraternity members on the importance of diversity and inclusion. We will continue working with our member fraternities, partners and higher education institutions to improve awareness and education around these important issues.

IFC Dues & Campus Support

TAKING YOUR IFC TO THE NEXT LEVEL

The NIC’s Campus Support Model strikes against a one-size-fits-all approach. This model prepares the community to take action and empowers interfraternal leaders toward peer governance, helping your community move toward the vision for fraternity communities — engendering trust and confidence in the fraternity experience.

Provides vision and direction, yet allows for local campus customization
Fosters collaboration among local and inter/national stakeholders
Maximizes value to students and alumni
Focuses industry experts and partners on supporting campuses
Ensures consistent campus support within a high-turnover industry

PARTNERING FOR LASTING POSITIVE CHANGE IN FRATERNITY COMMUNITIES

When your IFC pays its annual NIC dues, it will receive access to the IFC Insurance Program and these basic level services:

PRIME and IFC Academy, the NIC’s signature IFC officer training programs. PRIME offers content specific to IFC Presidents with IFC Academy providing training for IFC officers and advisors to gain a greater understanding of their roles. These programs are virtual and complimentary for all dues-paying IFCs. Multiple sessions are offered in December/January.
Coaching and support calls with NIC staff. We reinforce best practices for high-functioning councils and tools to streamline IFC operations, notably our IFC Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to help you align with NIC Standards and Positions endorsed by all member fraternities of the NIC.
Consultations with trusted subject matter experts. We’re partnered with the Hazing Prevention Network, Kim Novak / NovakTalks! for accountability and conduct, Phired Up for recruitment, Dr. Marlon Gibson for community engagement, Harbor Institute / Harbor NEXT! for belonging and inclusion, and MANUAL + Release U for men’s health and wellness.
Strategic partnership with Lounge to bring simple yet sophisticated event planning, registration and management tools to more fraternity communities. Lounge is an app-based platform designed to help chapters, councils and campuses. To date, it has supported over 300,000 students across 200 campuses to build stronger, safer communities.
Inside access to our affiliated ENGAGE initiative for campus leaders involved in student government and public advocacy, including the student government grant program
Tax filing coaching and guidance from OmegaFi
Access to our online resource library
PR/crisis response support
Governing document review (Constitution & Bylaws)
Official IFC logo customized with school colors
NIC staff guidance for creation and ongoing support of alumni IFC and fraternity alumni engagement

Upper Crust Food Service COVID-19 Resources

COVID-19 has certainly affected Greek Life in a major way. Upper Crust Food Service has always taken pride in leading this niche industry in innovation when it comes to delicious food offerings and operational excellence. They are now taking that same dedication and turning their attention towards what the “new normal” will look like in the fall.

As we return to campus many of the traditional ways that their food service company interacts with customers will change based on local health department regulations. They expect that just as every house has unique flavor profiles, that each University and local health authorities will respond to this pandemic in different ways. Their promise to customers is that they will stay on top of these new requirements and communicate suggested best practices as part of the “new normal.”

Upper Crust Food Service has put together this Post COVID-19 Operational Plan to address many of the common questions they have received as well as outline best practices that they are suggesting in the upcoming school year.

ICS offer from OmegaFi

During this uncertain time, OmegaFi remains focused on supporting the business, members and fraternity and sorority communities that make our world great.

Reducing the Barriers to Membership

Over the last few weeks, OmegaFi has been working with and closely following the activities and recommendations of the National Panhellenic Conference and North American Interfraternity Conference. Both the NIC and NPC are advocating for a focus on college affordability. They suggest we should make it as easy as possible for young men and women to join a fraternal organization.

We agree.

No Cost Recruitment

In order to support the recovery effort the fraternal industry needs . . . in order to reduce the barriers to entry . . . OmegaFi is eliminating all Chapter, all Council and all PNM/Registration fees associated with our industry-leading, campus recruitment software platform, ICS, for the remainder of the calendar year. This offer applies to every IFC, College Panhellenic and Fraternity/Sorority Life Office currently using ICS and any others that want to use it.

If the Council or FSL Office chooses to charge a fee – and we encourage all Councils and FSL Offices to reduce barriers to entry by eliminating all PNM fees – normal credit card processing charges will apply, but that’s it.

We will not charge you any fees based on the number of chapters or PNMs you have.

We know free educational tools and content is valuable to you. To us, it is not enough. We are going to continue to provide educational content to our customers. We also know our community needs some real fee relief.

We believe this is the right decision to encourage membership growth and ensure the long-term stability of the fraternity and sorority community.

While the future may be uncertain, we are in this together.

Considerations for Reopening Institutions of Higher Education in the COVID-19 Era

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve rapidly, causing institutions of higher education (IHEs) to evaluate and plan for numerous “what if” scenarios. These guidelines are based on information about COVID-19 that is known today. They are purposely broad for universal use and written with the understanding that not all colleges will have the resources to implement everything written in this document. IHEs should view these guidelines and evaluate the feasibility of these recommendations in the light of their own campus environment, community resources, public health capacity, demographics, internal resources, and risk tolerance. As the pandemic continues, additional guidance will be forthcoming from ACHA.

IFC Presidents Discussion

Q&A about the impact of COVID-19 on the fraternity community with IFC presidents including Sam Keener, Kansas State; Robbie Starr, Worcester Polytechnic Institute; Daniel Wolfe, Michigan State; and Judson Horras, NIC President and CEO

Key Points:

continue to meet virtually (council meetings, officer meetings, advisor meetings, etc.)
pivot philanthropy efforts to virtual platforms – can still have great success
prioritize open communication
evaluate future in-person events; how can they be shifted the calendar or adapted to meet guidelines
recruitment is lifeline of all organizations; try to recruit more members than normal; get creative in ways to virtually interact with potential new members
be over prepared and follow public health guidelines
be careful not to over program
