INTRODUCTION TO TEXAS IFC
We believe that the shared values of Fraternity drive the IFC to create better communities, better chapters, & better men.
The IFC promotes mutual cooperation among the member fraternities, other student organizations, fellow governing councils, the University of Texas and its faculty, staff, and the greater Austin community.
