Since 1919, the Ball State University fraternity community has provided a premier student development experience dedicated to a lifetime of excellence for thousands of men.
The Interfraternity Council (IFC) is a self-governing body that works closely with the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life and represents members of 13 fraternities at Ball State. IFC consists of nine executive council members, a voting representative from each fraternity and the chapter president from each fraternity.
The council provides support to ensure academic success and sustainability. It continuously promotes the safety, health, and wellness of Ball State’s chapters and their individual members by engaging stakeholders, initiating and maintaining collaborative relationships. This in turn will consistently support a positive membership experience. The IFC dedicates its resources for the continuous growth of community membership and will always continue engaging in efforts to support the specific needs of its chapters and their individual members.
