To answer your question, yes it is generally against the rules of all the national fraternities that I know of, including mine, to violate the rules of the IFC. However I also know of several instances of national advisors telling local chapters to ignore the IFC rules if it means getting more/better pledges. In a lot of ways this makes sense, since Nationals are obviously more interested in seeing their house succeed than following the rules of some local IFC. However this is definitly harmful overall to the Greek system since it just penalizes the houses that follow the rules.
