Standards

The Greek Life Standards Program is a recently implemented program written by Fraternity and Sorority Men and Women that challenges NC State’s Fraternities and Sororities to meet and exceed their organization’s ideals and values. Initiated and created in part by IFC men the Standards Program serves as an effective tool for chapter operations and gauges how well a chapter is living its values. The Standards Program is an accurate representation of what Fraternities are founded on and how Fraternities function. The Standards Program was not created on the basis of being a ranking system, but rather the Standards Program was created to be an authentic indicator of true Fraternities on campus. For further information on what the Greek Life Standards Program is about and how it functions follow the links listed below.

Service and Philanthropy are two values that are at the cornerstone of the Interfraternity Council. Benefiting the greater good is an ideal that the Interfraternity Council and all IFC Fraternities believe in and practice year round. IFC commits itself to service events and philanthropic causes on campus, in the community, and to humanitarian causes around the world. Most IFC chapters have adopted specific charitable organizations that they dedicate their entrie service and philanthropy events around in addition to supporting other Greek, campus, and community charity events. The Interfraternity Council and all the IFC Fraternities compile more service hours and donate more money and goods for charity than any other student organization on campus. More importantly countless lives are yearly benefited and saved by the steadfast endeavors of the Interfraternity Council. IFC believes that our organizations and members bvenefit as much as the chariites we work to help. It is that belief that puts the Interfraternity Council in the business of serving others and promoting the more significant ideals in life, because through that we believe that we are building better men.

Educational & Social Programming
The Interfraternity Council and all the recognized IFC Fraternities also serve the NC State campus and surrounding community through numerous educational and social programs. Some programs are devoted to solely enriching specific Fraternity members while a majority of the educational programs IFC puts on are open to the entire public free of cost. These programs are extremely diverse ranging from the history of the plasma TV to classes on social etiquette. Although a strong percentage of IFC programs focus on leadership development IFC holds many casual programs to supplement the scholarly programs found on campus and liven up the at times mundane student lifestyle. The Interfraternity Council strongly believes that by enriching the knowledge, capabilities, and lifestyle of our members, fellow students, and the greater community we make NC State and the Raleigh area a much more enjoyable and better place.

As one of the premier universities in the world North Carolina State University stresses academic excellence and achievement and as one of NC State’s student organizations IFC as well commits itself and its memebers to achieving their scholastic potential. The Interfraternity Council is a very dynamic organization with numerous and diverse priorities yet the overriding priority of IFC is the academic success and wellbeing of our members. Regardless of the business and obligations IFC may have scholarship comes first and foremost. As college students academics are the main reason we attend college and as IFC men we acknowledge that and provide the best resources and environments for academic excellence. The governing body of IFC requires a standard GPA to join a Fraternity and most IFC Fraternities also hold a variety of educational programs and workshops over the year to optimize our member’s study skills and academic performance in addition to the Fraternitites’ own scholarship programs. IFC wants men who are aware of the reason they are attending college and the need to perform at the highest potential of their abilities. Scholarship is a key pillar of Fraternity life and IFC intends to uphold that value to the fullest degree and we expect each of our members to do the same.
