Fraternity for
Everyone.
OUR CREED
"We, the Interfraternity Council, exist to promote the shared interests and values of our member fraternities: leadership, service, brotherhood, and scholarship. We believe in Fraternity and that the shared values of Fraternity drive the IFC to create better communities, better chapters, and better individuals.
We work to advance the academic mission of the host institution, to enable fraternal organizations to grow and thrive through collaboration and teamwork, to provide an outlet for self-governance and accountability, and to model and teach ethical leadership. In a spirit of mutual support and betterment, we, the individuals of the Interfraternity Council, pledge to elevate the ritual and the values of the member organizations."

YEARS OF OPERATION
We believe that the strength of Cornell Greek life is measured by our collective impact on the Ithaca community. We are committed to fostering leadership and service excellence through every project we undertake.
SFL & Tri-Council
The Interfraternity Council is a member of the Sorority and Fraternity Life (SFL) community and the Tri-Council, a collaborative governing body that brings together IFC, the Multicultural Greek & Fraternal Council (MGFC), and the Panhellenic Council (PHC). Through these partnerships, IFC chapters are part of a broader, values-driven community committed to leadership, scholarship, service, and accountability. Working alongside SFL and our Tri-Council peers, we help shape policies, coordinate community-wide initiatives, and foster a more inclusive and responsible fraternity and sorority experience at Cornell. This structure ensures that our member organizations are supported by shared resources, aligned standards, and a collective commitment to positive campus impact.
