"Four fraternities joined the North-American Interfraternity Conference at its 2006 Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.. With the addition of these four fraternities, the NIC membership grew to 68 international and national men’s fraternities. Joining the NIC were Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc, Beta Chi Theta, Phi Sigma Kappa and Sigma Phi Delta. Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. will have dual membership in the NIC and NPHC. The four groups were welcomed into the NIC by NIC President James R. Estes at the opening ceremonies of the NIC Annual Meeting. In his welcome, Estes commented that these fraternities “bring a rich tradition of fraternity ideals to the conference. We are thrilled that they have joined the conference and look forward to working with them in the coming years.” “We look forward to including these organizations in our educational programming, campus visits, and community events,” said NIC Executive Vice President Jon Williamson. “As our community grows, so does our ability to reach out to all members of the fraternal community. Our work is based on ensuring a bright future for all fraternities,” Williamson added."
