The Interfraternity Council holds a formal recruitment process each January for all students and an informal process for upper class students each fall. Registering early is highly recommended, as the cost increases throughout the registration process. Students interested in joining should refer to the eligibility requirements as well as any required events listed in the schedule of events. We look forward to helping you explore the membership opportunities in the IFC community!
