With membership from the alumni of each active fraternity on campus, plus the key undergraduate officers of each chapter, the alumni IFC continues to provide a guidepost and bridges to the University in many areas. Discussions concerning housing contracts, insurance coverage (risk analysis), academic performance, social behavior, rush activities, University support and other areas of common interest are primary concerns of the organization.
Almost 50 percent of the eligible men and women at OWU are active in one of the 12 fraternities and five sororities. The grade point averages are typically above the University all-student average. Overall University support under the guidance of President Tom Courtice is very positive.
Close coordination with the undergraduate IFC is a major interest of the alumni. Undergrads face up to the problems such as underage drinking and sexual harassment concerns that are issues present on all campuses, regardless of whether students belong to a Greek organization or not.
Many young men coming on campus these days are still attracted to the fraternity system. The goals of many national fraternities and particularly Beta are set to make the experience a total maturation process and character building opportunity in concert with the University goals and rules.
The alumni IFC shares those and is working to make it happen.
