III. Old Business:

 Social Media Position Statement

IV. New Business:  Motion Brought by Nolan Brinkman Seeking a second;

Where as the goal of IFC is to aid social fraternities and not to harm them,

Where as IFC Bylaw Article III Section 3 does more harm to the functionality of IFC and MNSU Greeks more than it helps,

Be it resolved the Bylaws be suspended and due process to revise Article III section 3 take place.

Be it further resolved the Sigma Nu and Delta Chi chapter of MNSU regain voting privileges in IFC, and the social suspension be dropped from the Sigma Nu Lambda Delta chapter.

(Sigma Nu) I feel like this was on me for not having a representative at IFC and I would like to retain voting rights. John told me yesterday and it took me by surprise but I was unaware of this. I would like to revise or at least suspend them.

(Lambda Chi) We should held the standard of our by-laws but should be more lenient

(Na) they are asking for a clean slate

(Sigma Nu) Josh is are new delegate and I do believe in him to be here

(Walker) I don't believe that we should change the by-laws. We only have some many meetings a semester and they should be in place.

(Sigma Nu) I completely agree with your statement but there should be a warning.

(Lambda Chi) We would need a 2/3rd vote. PHC gives out fines- for amendment ideas

(Tau Kappa Epsilion) would be more just to suspend these by-laws

(Sigma Chi) All for the suspension but not an amendment

(John) If you are considering revisions come to a concrete amendment. change to one absence.

Motion Passes to suspend the by-laws

o (Phi Kappa Theta) Chris reached out to me and get a event set in plan.

o (Connor) Do we have anyone that would be willing to step in

o (Na) I would step in for the time being on the Recruitment

o (Lambda Chi) This should be considered because we can't have the huge gap in time but the Recruitment position can easily be assimilated to.

o (Sigma Nu) - Going to impeach someone before you try and fix this problem

o (Brie) - Molly wants someone else

o (Connor) - We can consider a second chance because

o (Na) - He has the passion but doesn't have the time
