I'm certainly hopeful

The NIC should not play a part at all. As far as the NIC is concerned, each campus IFC is autonomous of the NIC with membership decided at the campus level. So if the campus administration is playing the *NIC card* and saying that "not being in the NIC is enough reason not to be a part of the Greek Council's new IFC branch", they are wrong.

Now the down side is that since the NIC does not have any policy regarding a campus IFC, the campus administration could decide to exclude non NIC members. However, if they do, then that "rule" has to apply to all fraternities. And if that was done on some campuses, that might exclude two international fraternities - Kappa Sigma and Phi Delta Theta. So when the administration refers to "how other schools work", you can point out that on campuses with either a Kappa Sigma or Phi Delta Theta chapter, non NIC members *are* members of the IFC.

Best of luck.

But, remember, for all intense and purpose, they supposedly are supposed to represent ALL of the IFC GLOs.

Hm, makes us wonder if they really do????
