I realize that NIC's power is loose, but it's still there. If NIC didn't have at least some power over the local IFCs, the by-laws concerning open expansion and recruitment would be pointless.
And I know that local IFCs include non-NIC organizations. The by-law doesn't pertain to those organizations, though. I was simply clarifying that IFC can't prevent an NIC organization from joining. Everything else would be up to the local council and the school.

On some campuses, while they are not suppose to per the NIC, the campus IFC has prevented an NIC organization from joining the IFC. It seems that the key issue is that the NIC does not governed the IFC or technically have the power to actually come on a campus to dictate what the campus IFC may or may not do. Same as the NIC may not come on campus and dictate to NPHC members - those that have duel membership in the NIC - what the campus NPHC council may or may not do. The NIC doesn't really work that way... yet.
