The North-American Interfraternity Conference website.
STATEMENT OF POLICY ON EXPANSION
The North-American Interfraternity Conference encourages appropriate college officials and/or Interfraternity Councils to consider the following for expansion to a campus:
~be open to all fraternities not currently represented on the campus;
~exclude costly multi-media presentations, financial and housing commitments and political influence;
~recognize that the size of a fraternity or the number of local alumni is not an indication of that fraternity's ability to administer an expansion project;
~respect the right of any organized college group to seek affiliation with the fraternity of its choice; and,
~recognize the constitutional rights of students to associate with a fraternity as guaranteed by the Freedom of Association provision of the United States Constitution.
The North-American Interfraternity Conference, therefore, states its support for open, unrestricted expansion for all college and university fraternity systems, and charges Interfraternity Councils and member fraternities to move toward such a program.
And this...
RESOLUTION ON EXPANSION
The member fraternities of the North-American Interfraternity Conference believe that each individual member fraternity offers a unique and desirable fraternity experience. The members of the Conference also recognize that the most successful fraternity systems have no barriers to entry.
Therefore, the members of the Conference agree to:
~Ensure that their member Chapters are open and receptive to expansion on their campuses.
~Vigorously defend students' Constitutional freedoms of association and assembly on public campuses.
~Insist that
even at private institutions, the basic principles of freedom of association are upheld and that all applicable Federal, state, and local laws as well as university policies are applied fairly and evenly to all student groups.
