I think what Firehouse is trying to say nicely is that they are way too politically correct and more concerned about playing nicey nice with the school administrations, rather than supporting the Greek system.

There's a difference between being impartial from fraternity to fraternity (i.e. applying the same rush rules to everyone) and laying down (i.e. supporting the school when they kick groups off for really bogus reasons).

But I can't see you doing that dude.

I think that something is being mishandled here. Kappa Sigma has not claimed to biggest fraternity. All Kappa Sigma has claimed is being the most preferred. Meaning it pledges more people than any other.

NIC is the North-American Interfraternity Conference, to which (inter)national organizations belong. IFC is a campus Interfraternity Council (which may go by a different name), to which chapters belong. It is possible for a fraternity chapter to be a member of a campus IFC even if its national organization doesn't belong to the NIC. It is also, I suppose, possible for a chapter of an NIC fraternity not to belong to a campus IFC -- if, say, the chapter is not recognized by the school.

Correct, we are a member of our university's IFC. It is an integral part of our success on our campus as well as many others.

I think making moves like this will make us all better off.
