The Fraternity Membership Selection Files series (1 linear foot) consists of materials dating from 1945 to 1967, documenting membership selection policies in fraternities and discriminatory practices in pledging. The IFC was especially active during this period in establishing and enforcing non-discriminatory clauses in individual fraternity house pledging rules. Also included in this series are folders on the Student Government Council, the Committee on Membership in Student Organizations, and the Panhellenic Membership Committee as they relate to this issue. There are four folders of general material that provide a historical context, documenting this issue at the University of Michigan and nationally.
