The Interfraternity Council elected Ben Block, a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi, as its new president Thursday. The IFC is the governing board of on-campus fraternities and is made up of members of the various organizations.

Block, a junior, will be taking over for outgoing president Norman Pentelovitch, a member of Kappa Sigma. The election was decided in a run-off that started with six candidates. Block’s term will start next semester and last one year.

“I’m looking forward to working with the entire newly-elected IFC and strengthening it in whatever way we can,” Block said.
