I thought all NIC orgs put limitations (or restrictions) on the number of non-member males attending social. Why would non-members need to attend the social event anyway? Why spend chapter funds for renting a place, security, etc, to just let someone who doesn't pay dues to have a good time on your dime?
One thing bothered me:

A social event is defined as a gathering with more than 50 non-fraternity members in attendance, IFC President Mike Brown said.

When the members get together to watch the game or BBQ and are drinking, this is not considered a "Social Event"? I'm pretty sure under every NIC org that it is considered a social event and the IFC rule contradicts what our national orgs state.
While I'm all for limiting the social functions to a certain amount a year, this also bothered me:

"...each fraternity is now allowed two limited parties a semester in plus their philanthropy...If for some reason one of the fraternities does not hold their philanthropy, they are allotted one more limited party in its place for a total of three a semester,"

So the IFC is encouraging chapters to decide whether to have a party or a philanthropy event? I can see how that will go over in chapter meetings.
Jim: We've only had 2 parties, that sucks.
Mark: Instead of doing our philanthropy, we can have a party.
John: Then we can have a party and wouldn't have to do a philanthropy?
Mark: Yes.
Jim & John: Awesome! Let's do it.
I gues this IFC is getting a little on the right track, they just need to tweak it to be fully effective.
