The IFC is like a trade organization, its not supposed to limit membership and its not supposed to regulate its members in terms of punishment. If it punishes more often than the school . . what use is it?
If self regulation just means that the IFc persecutes itself rather than have the university use sanctions . . then the IFC is pointless and should dissolve.
If anything the IFC should be an advocate for its member groups . . much like a union.
As far as the alcohol and party programs that you have instituted . . . I admire anyone that does anything they think is constructive, but surely you know that each of the National organizations have in depth social policies and programs that probably go way beyond what the seminars you are presenting?
Unless you are actually teaching people the actual mechanisms of having a party such as where they can have one, who to contact, the expenses, and all the detail work of it?
Anyway, have fun being president and good luck.

Exactly what I think. i don't understand how a member of a SERVICE organization with completely different national rules than any other IFC organization can even begin to run that council. From the earlier posts made, I don't think she understands what it means to be a social or what socials are all about. From looking at your school's website, they allow professional groups to be on their own w/o a council. Personally I think a great thing would be to push for your group to be accepted as a com/serve honors group instead of a social group. Unless the social aspect being on the council is so much that you wouldn't want to leave. Seeing as soo many greeks I know are APO and ____ (NPC,IFC, MGC, NPHC) I think something must be done so that your members are not limited to just APO. Something is going on there that is just not right.
