IFC Advisor (Terry Weber –TerryWeber@MissouriState.edu)
Old Business:
Vote on each chapter buying 60% of their chapter for all fsl shirts – Passed
Bylaw to put 1 dollar per member from each chapter toward FSLSA. Friendly Amendment: Take
the money from surplus and put toward FSLSA – Passed
New Business:
Proactive action toward issues in FSL community related to race discussion:
 Broadcast that we are willing to take everyone
 Attending more NPHC events – inviting NPHC to our own events
 Why are NPHC and IFC different councils? Different identities and different goals/purposes
to help grow individuals. NPHC wants to bring likeminded people together. IFC fraternities
tend to be extroverted. NPHC uses values to have individuals seek them out. Find ways to
program events to mesh councils together.
 One chapter went over code of conduct and think they are doing well. Identified areas of
deficiency = accountability of each other.
 Highlight diversity within individual chapters = have anonymous questionnaires to each
chapter to ask how diversity strengthens chapter.
 Projects such as individual’s photography project where he shows diversity within
chapters.
 Ways to get more diversity out to recruitment and showing them that we are accepting
Announcements:

Temple/Caito came to speak about their campaign at meeting
