INTER-FRATERNITY & SORORITY COUNCIL (IFSC)

The Inter-Fraternity & Sorority Council, or IFSC, is the official governing body for all Greek-lettered organizations recognized by Stony Brook University.

The IFSC general body is composed of one delegate from each fraternity and sorority recognized on campus and an Executive Board, whose members are elected by the general body amongst candidates that are chosen from the local chapters. Along with the general body, which meets every Thursday, there are also several sub-committees that exist within, and carry out the work of, the IFSC. These sub-committees include, but are not limited to, the Judicial Board, the Programming Committee, and the IFSC Week Committee, and they provide members with several opportunities to become involved with various events on campus while also participating in leadership positions within the IFSC.

The IFSC is the primary focal point for all of the planning, coordinating, and implementing of wide-ranging social, cultural, and developmental programs that are sponsored by fraternities and sororities for the benefit of the Stony Brook campus community. The IFSC provides services, activities, and programming for its member organizations while also attempting to foster student interaction and development through collaboration with all facets of campus life. The IFSC provides its member organizations with learning opportunities and the chance to acquire skills and experiences that will allow them to develop into a well-rounded person that is proficient in both the academic and non-academic arenas.

The goal of the Inter-Fraternity & Sorority Council is one of enhancing the relationships between the local fraternal chapters on campus through joint programming, community service projects, and social interaction. It provides a forum for Greek-lettered societies to share beliefs and ideas while also allowing member organizations to address concerns and issues that are facing not only the fraternity and sorority community, but also the campus community as a whole. It is also the duty of the IFSC to play an important role in the universities expansion process and make the final decision in regards to new fraternities and sororities gaining recognition on Stony Brook's campus.
