In my experience with the IFC at Central Oklahoma, they are basically a joke. For flagrant violations of rush rules, the worst I've ever seen was a $100 fine levied. Two groups have been sanctioned by their national organizations for hazing while IFC and the University stood by and watched. One group's recognition was even revoked because the director of student life walked into their house while a 14-year old girl was serving beer from a keg (on a dry campus). That group had also managed about a 1.93 collective GPA (they've since gotten their act together and are now recognized again).

We do have rules against rushing people in the Summer (before formal rush). I don't think anyone actually follows those rules. We used to follow them to the letter and had our butts handed to us come Rush time. We've since wised up and are doing much better. The way I see it though, IFC shouldn't keep new groups out if those groups are capable of succeeding. I say allow as many groups onto campus as that campus can sustain. If one chapter has stagnated, maybe it's time for them to regroup/reorganize. Let the strong survive and the weak die off.
