TESTIMONIALS

"IFC Academy was a turning point for myself and my executive board. It really showed us how to work together and more importantly get our fraternities in our council to work together to better our Greek Life, student body, and local community. Since returning from the trip we have been able to help create an environment with chapters working together and helping one another on their own." - Michael Irene, University of Central Florida

"Whether I was learning from or helping others, the experience was rich for me as both a member of IFC and a leader in general. I was able to take my experiences back to greatly improve not only Carnegie Mellon's IFC, but also my chapter and myself as a leader. The experience was an invaluable asset to my college experience." -Michael Carroll, Carnegie Mellon

"This conference gave me the resources to better MTSU's Greek life through development, relevance, and implementation. I encourage any Greek member to attend the IFC academy in hopes of bettering their campus, as well as their own leadership skills." -Craig Hutto, Middle Tennessee State

"The IFC Academy was an eye-opening experience and really helped me start my term as President off on the right foot. I learned all of the basics about what the IFC is and what our role should be on campus. I also got to network with professionals as well as other IFC Presidents to learn some best-practices that I could utilize on my own campus. When my team returned from training they were excited and ready to get to work." -Thomas Yeager, Lafayette College
