Welcome to the first step of an exciting journey into Fraternity Life at Chapman University! Joining a fraternity is about more than membership—it’s about forming lifelong friendships, growing as a leader, and becoming part of a supportive, nationwide brotherhood. Our fraternities focus on community service, academic excellence, leadership development, and social engagement.

The Recruitment Process:

Recruitment occurs every semester, starting with Rush Kickoff, where you’ll meet members of the Interfraternity Council Executive Board, chapter Rush Chairs, and all active fraternity members. Over the following weeks, you’ll attend various rush events hosted by each chapter, giving you the chance to learn about their values, traditions, and culture. Preference events, held during the final round, provide a more intimate opportunity to connect with the chapters you’re most interested in. At the end of the process, chapters extend bids, giving you the chance to officially join a fraternity and begin your journey of lifelong brotherhood.​​​​

If you have any questions, please email IFC President Charlie Reed at cuifcpres@gmail.com
