The NIC advocates for the needs of its member fraternities through enrichment of the fraternity experience, advancement and growth of the fraternity community and enhancement of the educational mission of the host institutions. Our Alliance Partners are key contributors to the important work of the conference and its members.

OMEGAFI | PENNINGTON & CO.

Distinguished Titanium

OmegaFi and Pennington & Company were founded by passionate people who believed in the lifelong positive impact of joining a fraternity or sorority. The work our customers do matters and we’re proud to support it. Since the pandemic, Pennington & Company has exceeded client expectations to help raise $112 million for our clients; and OmegaFi launched Compass Open API, which means that our customers can safely and efficiently access and integrate their data to work with third-party developers and software.

In June 2022, OmegaFi will launch LegFi Treasury accounts and cards. Treasury gives chapters a safe, FDIC-insured account tied to the organization and unlimited Treasury cards for members to easily pay for the things they need when they need them. This summer, Pennington will make personalized fundraising easy with a powerful peer-to-peer online fundraising platform. Powerful peer-to-peer fundraising means that our clients can quickly and securely raise money.

The past few years have had a profound effect on all businesses and without our partners' continued trust and support we wouldn't be College Fresh. We can't wait for Fall 2022 and we look forward to being 'At Your Service.'

As the spring semester winds down, Printing Plus is already gearing up for fall. We are currently working with a few NIC members to produce customized "New Member Kits" that will house all of their provisions, i.e. certificate, badge, card, etc. This will help improve the new member "experience" and allow them to receive all their materials at once. In addition to the kits, Printing Plus has expanded our offerings to include metal membership cards and regalia items. Printing Plus is committed to meeting all the needs of our partners while improving or maintaining quality. Please contact us for additional information.
