IFC Fraternity Recruitment Registration Is Now Open
How Do I Join?
To participate in the fraternity recruitment process, please complete the registration form. While there is no deadline for fraternity recruitment applications, in order to have the best opportunity to visit with a number of chapters, your application should be completed as soon as possible.
Recruitment chairs will have access to your application once it is submitted and will begin contacting you after they have reviewed it. You may be invited to attend activities ranging from sporting events to open houses for both you and your parents. You should visit as many chapters as possible to give you a better comparison when it is time to make your decision on which chapter to join.
For first-year students, New Student Enrollment is a great time to visit prospective chapters. Many chapters are open and tours of living units are available. Please call the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life to schedule a tour.
Then What?
As you become introduced to various fraternity chapters, they may offer you a bid card. A bid card is a formal invitation to join a fraternity. The bid card is how recruitment chairmen express their interest in potential members. Once you and your parents sign the bid card, you pledge your membership to that fraternity.
