I apologize to everyone for my lack of presence in IFC. I haven’t been communicating to the best of my
abilities and I want to assure everyone that this will be changing immediately.
Steven will be acting as a liaison when I can’t make it to meeting so that way we have meaningful
discussions about recruitment ideas and changes.
Due to the lack of interest in the carnival idea I have been collaborating with several Greek members on
new ideas. So far we are looking into a potential Greek Relay Race. (Brian V. has a couple more details)
Finally we need to discuss the recruitment rules draft I sent out on Monday. I’m looking for any more
improvements to better the formal recruitment process! Eventually we will have to table and vote upon it.

Social Media Position Statement
New Business:

Motion Brought by Nolan Brinkman Seeking a second;
Where as the goal of IFC is to aid social fraternities and not to harm them,
Where as IFC Bylaw Article III Section 3 does more harm to the functionality of IFC and MNSU Greeks more than
it helps,
Be it resolved the Bylaws be suspended and due process to revise Article III section 3 take place.
Be it further resolved the Sigma Nu and Delta Chi chapter of MNSU regain voting privileges in IFC, and the social
suspension be dropped from the Sigma Nu Lambda Delta chapter.
(Sigma Nu) I feel like this was on me for not having a representative at IFC and I would like to retain voting
rights. John told me yesterday and it took me by surprise but I was unaware of this. I would like to revise or at
least suspend them.
(Lambda Chi) We should held the standard of our by-laws but should be more lenient
(Na) they are asking for a clean slate
(Sigma Nu) Josh is are new delegate and I do believe in him to be here
(Walker) I don't believe that we should change the by-laws. We only have some many meetings a semester and
they should be in place.
(Sigma Nu) I completely agree with your statement but there should be a warning.
(Lambda Chi) We would need a 2/3rd vote. PHC gives out fines- for amendment ideas
(Tau Kappa Epsilion) would be more just to suspend these by-laws
(Sigma Chi) All for the suspension but not an amendment
(John) If you are considering revisions come to a concrete amendment. change to one absence.
Motion Passes to suspend the by-laws
