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!
IFC Recruitment
How to Join
IFC strives to create a positive experience for all those involved in the recruitment process. To ensure this, each potential new member will sign an agreement on the first day of recruitment to abide by the SMU and IFC policies. Students who violate this agreement may be disqualified from joining a fraternity that semester. In addition, any student who commits a conduct violation at any point during recruitment week will be removed from the recruitment process and not allowed to accept a fraternity bid.
There are NO exceptions to the registration deadline. The register button can be found at the bottom of the page.
