Inter-Fraternity Council (IFC)
Colgate University is very proud to have a thriving fraternity/sorority system on campus that is supported by full-time professional staff members. The mission of the associated fraternity organizations is outlined in their constitution:
We, the men of the various national and local fraternity chapters at Colgate University, set forth this constitution and bylaws in order to promote harmonious relationship and coordination among the member chapters; to foster friendly relations between member chapters and the faculty, administration, and trustees of the University; and to represent and promote the interests of the member chapters in the affairs of the University.
We do ordain and establish this constitution as binding in letter and spirit upon our activities and privileges.
The university's residential education plan requires that all Colgate students (except the 250 students approved to live off campus) live in university-owned and managed facilities by fall 2005. Each of our recognized fraternity organizations now occupies a university-owned free-standing house on Broad Street.
