The North American Interfraternity Conference (or NIC; formerly known as the National Interfraternity Conference) is an association of intercollegiate men's social fraternities that was formally organized in 1910, although it began at a meeting at the University Club in New York City on November 27, 1909. The power of the organization rests in a House of Delegates in which each member fraternity is represented by a single delegate. However, the group's executive and administrative powers are vested in an elected board of directors consisting of nine volunteers from various NIC fraternities. Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, the NIC also operates a small professional staff.

dbo:abstract
  • Die North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC, nordamerikanische verbindungsübergreifende Versammlung), gegründet am 27. November 1909 als Interfraternity Conference, ist ein Interessenverband männlicher Studentenverbindungen der nordamerikanischen Fraternities und Sororities. Obwohl der Verband bereits am 27. November 1909 gegründet worden war, wurden die Institutionen erst 1910 eingerichtet. Das höchste Organ ist dabei die Abgeordnetenversammlung (House of Delegates), zu der jede Verbindung einen Vertreter bestellt. Die ausführende Gewalt liegt in den Händen des gewählten Vorstandes (Board of Directors), der aus neun ehrenamtlichen Mitgliedern verschiedener Verbindung besteht. Die Zentrale des Verbandes befindet sich in Indianapolis, dort bei der Dachorganisation sind einige hauptamtliche Organisatoren beschäftigt. Zur Zielsetzung des NICs gehört unter anderem, gemeinschaftliche Aktionen der Studentenverbindungen zu den verschiedensten Anlässen zu fördern, Angelegenheiten und Verfahren der Mitgliedsorganisationen zu untersuchen, Tatsachen zu ermitteln und Zahlenmaterial zu sammeln und den Mitgliedsverbänden in geeigneter Form zur Verfügung zu stellen (“but not be limited to, promotion of cooperative action in dealing with fraternity matters of mutual concern, research in areas of fraternity operations and procedures, fact-finding and data gathering, and the dissemination of such data to the member fraternities.”). Die Tätigkeit des Dachverbandes darf allerdings keinesfalls die Rechte der Mitgliedsverbände zu deren eigener Selbstverwaltung behindern oder in Frage stellen (“[c]onference action shall not in any way abrogate the right of its member fraternities to self-determination.”). Zum NIC gehörten im Jahr 2007 insgesamt 69 Mitgliedsverbindungen, denen mehr als 5.500 Ortsverbindungen (Chapter) an mehr als 800 Hochschulen der USA und in Kanada angeschlossen sind, die insgesamt etwa 350.000 Verbindungsstudenten fördern. Der ursprüngliche Name Interfraternity Conference wurde 1931 in National Interfraternity Conference geändert. Um die kanadischen Verbindungen angemessen repräsentieren zu können, wurde der Name im Jahr 1999 schließlich auf North-American Interfraternity Conference geändert. (de)

However, the group's executive and administrative powers are vested in an elected board of directors consisting of nine volunteers from various NIC fraternities. Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, the NIC also operates a small professional staff. The NIC seeks to provide services that will include, "but not be limited to, promotion of cooperative action in dealing with fraternity matters of mutual concern, research in areas of fraternity operations and procedures, fact-finding and data gathering, and the dissemination of such data to the member fraternities". However, it notes that "[c]onference action shall not in any way abrogate the right of its member fraternities to self-determination". As of December 2021, the NIC had fifty-six member organizations with 4,000 chapters located on over 800 campuses in the United States and Canada with approximately 350,000 undergraduate members. Originally named the Interfraternity Conference, the name was changed to the National Interfraternity Conference in 1931. The current name, the North American Interfraternity Conference, was adopted in 1999 to reflect the organization's affiliations at Canadian colleges and universities. (en)
