Social Fraternity
Greetings SwissMiss04,
At the last province 32 workshop, the National President, Dr. Darhyl Ramsey, said that the National Fraternity is under discussion and is making a move to join the NIC. Currently there are several chapters throughout the nation that are on their own IFCs at their campuses. Experience at these chapters has shown that recruiting is better increased. At one of the chapters, I can't think of the state, the president of the IFC is a brother of Phi Mu Alpha. The fraternity is officially social. In 1992 there was a Title IX response letter that ended the initiation of women, a practice that was challenged with Title IX for a short period in the late 70s, and was used to officially register the fraternity with the Federal Government as being "social". As a social order the fraternity could prevent women from joining. The roots of the fraternity were social(refer to the original establishments)but it wasn't until 1982 that it became official with the government. If you ever considered our fraternal order to be professional then you've just been one of the many that have given in to a popular misconception. Yours Truly,
Mystic Cat32
