The
North-American Interfraternity Conference (or
NIC; formerly known as the
National Interfraternity Conference) is an association of
collegiate men's
fraternities that was formally organized in 1910, although it began 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.
