The Grand Inter-Fraternity Council of the United States was an umbrella organization for high school fraternities. It was established in 1909 in Schenectady, New York, in part to counter anti-fraternity sentiment. At its height, the organization had a membership of fifty fraternities. The council ceased operations around 1920 when move states passed legislation banning high school fraternities.
