The '''Independent Council''' (IC) was a branch of the [[Rensselaer Union]] dedicated to promoting the interests of independent (non-Greek-affiliated) students. It was once an independent body, but was integrated into the Union's governance structure with the 1970 Constitution. For most of its existence, it was a subsidiary body of the [[Student Senate]], maintaining its own constitution approved by the Senate and with its actions reviewable by the Senate. The IC performed both advocacy and social event planning.
