UCSD Greek Standards Program
"The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today" - Franklin D. Roosevelt
 
The IFC Standards Program was founded in the Spring of 2008 as a combined effort of the IFC Executive and President's Councils.  The following standards are the basic requirements for IFC chapters who wish to maintain good standing with the Interfraternity Council.  Each standard is followed by a specific deadline and a list of pertinent documentation that needs to be submitted.  It is our hope that this standards program will lay the foundation for future programs which promote the internal and external development of our member chapters.  Furthermore, we hope that this program will evolve with our chapters and will constantly challenge our members to ever higher standards of achievement.

Judicial Procedures
An appointment will be set between the IFC Judicial Board, your chapter president, and the executive officer of your fraternity under which the violation pertains (i.e. if the violation is for a low GPA, your scholarship chair will be called in along with your chapter president).  The Interfraternity Council does not intend for these hearings to be disciplinary, but rather as educational and developmental.  If the chapter does not meet the standards within a designated time frame, further, more severe action will be taken.
