The Recruitment Process:

Recruitment takes place each semester and begins with Rush Kickoff, where potential new members can meet the IFC Executive Board, chapter recruitment chairs, and fraternity members from participating chapters.

 

Throughout the recruitment period, chapters host a variety of events that allow students to learn more about each organization’s values, traditions, and membership experience. Later rounds may include preference events, which provide a more focused opportunity to connect with chapters of interest.

 

At the conclusion of recruitment, chapters may extend bids to eligible students who they invite to join their organization.
