The financial incentive that can be awarded to the chapter must be used by the class in the form of a class gift or a financial contribution to Homecoming or Greek Week competitions. The financial gift that the class chooses must be approved by the Office of Student Engagement and the IFC Executive Board. The scale for determining the amount of money given to each fraternity from the IFC is as follows: 0.25-0.49=$25.00; 0.5-0.74=$50.00; 0.75-0.99= $125.00; any increase equal to or over 1.0=$250.00. GPA increases will never be rounded up. For example, an increase of 0.999 will be calculated as an increase of 0.99, not 1.0. ARTICLE II Expansion Policy The IFC at Missouri University encourages and promotes the growth of both its current and potential organizations.

We are committed to (Inter)National Greek organizations and will put first the interests and welfare of current chapters; second, the reestablishing of National fraternities formerly having chapters at Missouri State University; third, the Colonization of new (Inter)National fraternities; and fourth, the Colonizing of a local group. The following steps and procedures should be followed for an interested group to become involved with the IFC at Missouri State University.
