I thought only a select few traditionally black fraternities were in IFC, so I guess I was wrong. When I was referring to IFC fraternities, I was referring to traditional fraternities such as SAE, KA, SN, SX, Sig Ep, Kappa Sig, etc, etc... I'm trying to refrain from using terms like "traditionally white" fraternity, but I guess that may point you in the direction I was referring to.

No, you're right - the fraternities with joint membership in the NPHC and the NIC are Alpha Phi Alpha and Iota Phi Theta. Omega Psi Phi and Phi Beta Sigma are not members of the NIC. With individual schools' IFCs, I don't know, I guess that would depend on how they are structured.
Personally, I don't see what is such a big deal with using the terms traditionally white fraternity or traditionally white sorority ... it can get tricky when you're trying to not to use the terms.

Well there is obvious mixing, especially in parts of the country where minorities are commonly members of NIC/trad white fraternities. But in all honesty I don't think anyone would deny there are some pretty big differences between traditionally white and traditionally black fraternities, both in operation and in culture.

You are correct. only a select few are part of the IFC. SOme of us don't do our research either. Only Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi and Regrettfully (lol) Iota Phi Theta are part of the IFC, the other 2, Phi Beta Sigma and Omega Psi Phi are not part of the IFC
