As noted earlier in this thread, Kappa Sigma, Phi Delta Theta and Phi Sigma Kappa all left the NIC, yet their chapters are all likely to be IFC. Lots of fraternities have left NIC over the years (and usually come back later), but their chapters have remained part of campus IFCs.

Meanwhile, my fraternity has never been a member of NIC, but many of our chapters are part of their campus IFC.
Cosign.

One additional thing to understand about the IFC is that the campus IFC is not directly affiliated with - or governed by - the NIC. As such, local fraternities, regional based fraternities, as well as non-council affiliated national fraternities may belong to a campus IFC. As MysticCat noted, the most common example of this is Kappa Sigma and Phi Delta Theta. While both are no longer members of the NIC, (Phi Sigma Kappa has rejoined the NIC), most of their chapters are members of their respective campus IFC. And as MysticCat also noted, on some campuses "service" and "professional" GLOs have been known to be members of the campus IFC in addition to FLA, NAPIAPA, NALFO, NMGC, NPHC, NIC.
