Interfraternity Council
The Interfraternity Council (IFC) seeks to maintain fraternity life and interfraternity relations within the university; to further sound scholarship and intellectual accomplishment; and to cooperate with the university's administration in the maintenance of high social standards. The council is composed of three delegates from each chapter of the social fraternities on campus: Alpha Tau Omega, Lambda Chi Alpha and Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

Each fall, the IFC host Recruitment, the period when new students are first eligible to join one of the fraternities. Recruitment begins on Friday, September 11 with the IFC Open Party. The Recruitment schedule and rules are explained to all participants at this event, and over the next two weeks, each fraternity hosts two parties for potential new members. In the first round of parties, open parties, all participants are encouraged to go to each house and meet the men who are a part of the fraternities on campus. The second round of events, prefer-ence parties, are invitationonly events and specifically designed for those who are seriously considering membership in one or more of the organizations.

All male students are eligible to participate in Recruitment, but each fraternity requires members take a full-time load of hours and maintain a certain GPA to be initiated and remain active.

Do not think twice about giving these groups a look if they interest you. Participating in Recruitment in the fall carries with it no obligation to join any group. It is quite common for men and women to participate without having the intention to join any of the organizations; for them, recruitment is an opportunity to meet other students, enjoy themselves and eat nice meals for a very low price (…in college, you are ALWAYS in search of cheap food). It is also not unusual for the same students to find themselves in a circle of new brothers when just a few days prior they thought the Greek system probably was not for them.
