NIC = National Interfraternity Conference - the national body.
IFC = InterFraternity Council - what you call the individual group on campus.
Depending on your campus, you may have fraternities, like Phi Delt or Kappa Sigma, that are on your campus's IFC but no longer affiliated with the NIC nationally. They are not part of another national body though.
The NIC doesn't really make a lot of rules like the National Panhellenic Conference (i.e. the sorority governing body) does. Really your best bet is to look thru the rules of the group you are looking at dropping and the group you are looking at pledging.
Of course, even if both say it's OK fine to do, there is a chance that no other chapters at UF will want anything to do with you because of your association with the first group.
