Welcome!

Don't we have a pretty regular Omega Delta Phi on GC?

I think knight_shadow is the one. He is a member of Omega Delta Phi.

I keep looking for Gamma Chi to show up on that list.

Give 'em time. ;)

Yes, it's me

I just recently found out about our addition, so I'm pretty excited to see where it leads.

Congrats to the NIC's newest organizations!

Congrats!

Congrats.

Congrats! And would you happen to know when this happen?

That's exciting! Congrats to you three!

woohooo, does that mean we get to haze the bajezzus out of the newbies?

Thank you for posting this info!

It shows that Greeks are working closer and closer together as it should be!

Congratulations to all three of the new NIC members. Prosper and grow!:cool:

According to my local Alumni Association chair, we were added effective December 1st

I so agree. And having members also in other conferences (i.e. NPHC, NALFO, and NAPAPA - apologies if I've missed any) is excellent since they can bring so much knowledge and experience to the NIC table - as it were.

Thanks.

*bump*

I just noticed Nu Alpha Kappa listed on the NIC member list. I don't remember them being on there before. Does anyone know if they were recently added, or did I previously miss them?

That's interesting... the NIC lists Nu Alpha Kappa as a member organization, but NAK's national website only indicates their membership in the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations, Inc. (NALFO).

^^^ Yea, I noticed that. They withdrew from NALFO when my organization did, though.

Nu Alpha Kappa Fraternity Inc. Takes NIC to Record Membership

Nu Alpha Kappa Fraternity, Inc will be formally seated by NIC Chairman Bob Marchesani on April 18, at the Annual Meeting of the NIC House of Delegates in Washington, DC; however, the NIC’s 73rd member fraternity was approved for full membership in the Conference on December 5, 2008. With Nu Alpha Kappa, Inc., total NIC membership increases to 73, the largest membership in the history of our association.

Nu Alpha Kappa was founded February 26, 1988 at California Polytechnic University, in San Luis Obispo, on the values of academic excellence, cultural knowledge, and true brotherhood. Nu Alpha Kappa recognizes 20 collegiate chapters across California, Colorado, and Nevada. The fraternity is represented by National President Victor Burrola and an 11-member National Executive Committee.

President Burrola commented Nu Alpha Kappa’s membership saying, “We are excited to work with our fellow NIC member fraternities to advance initiatives that positively impact the interf raternal movement. Nu Alpha Kappa is committed to providing a diverse perspective to ensure students are heard from all walks of life.” NIC President & CEO, Peter Smithhisler welcomed the fraternity. “Our interfraternal organization is stronger thanks to the membership of Nu Alpha Kappa,” he said. “The NIC continues to reflect the cultural diversity that is so vibrant on today’s campus.”

Membership in the NIC is open to any general college fraternity that complies with the agreed upon standards of membership and meets the minimum requirements. Inquiries regarding NIC membership may be directed to NIC Headquarters.

Awesome. Thanks, TSteven.
