Interfraternity Council (University of Michigan) records, 1912-1994 (majority within 1960-1992)

3 linear feet

The Inter-fraternity Council (IFC) is the administrative and organizing body for the undergraduate social fraternities at the University of Michigan. Records include meeting minutes, officers reports, newspaper clippings, photographs, printed materials. One bound volume of handwritten meeting minutes from 1912-1930, provides the only record of earliest activities of the IFC.

The records of the Interfraternity Council (IFC) measure 3 linear feet and date from 1912 to 1994, with the bulk of records falling between 1960 and 1994. The records consist of meeting minutes, officer's reports, newspaper clippings, photographs, and printed materials. Despite the range of years covered by the collection as a whole, no one time period is completely documented. For additional information on the IFC, the researcher should consult the record groups under "University of Michigan Fraternity Office" and "University of Michigan Housing Division" and the "University of Michigan Vice President for Student Affairs" at the Bentley Historical Library.

The records of the IFC are divided into five series: President's Notebooks, Fraternity Membership Selection Files, Topical Files, Photographs, and Printed Materials.

Topical Files, 1912-1993

The Topical Files series (1.5 linear feet) is arranged alphabetically and consists primarily of materials relating to the activities of the IFC within the university's Greek system. The largest group of records consists of IFC meeting minutes, including a bound volume of minutes from 1912 to 1930. This bound volume provides the only documentation of IFC activities during that period. The "Background Information" folder provides more recent history, and the "Constitution and Bylaws" folder contains several different versions of the constitution. The IFC's heavy involvement in Rush is reflected in the four folders on the subject, and include materials on Dry Rush, a program initiated in the late 1980s. Also of interest are the "Fraternity Membership Statistics" folder, containing statistical data dating to the 1870s, although the bulk of data is from 1960 to 1985, and the "Neighborhood Relations" folder, documenting fraternity house relations with the Ann Arbor community.
