Recruitment-Fraternity and Sorority Life - Carnegie Mellon University

Interfraternity Council Recruitment Process

The Interfraternity Council conducts membership recruitment in the first three weeks of each semester, beginning after orientation. Typically chapters sponsor a variety of recruitment activities and events during the 2nd and 3rd weeks. No registration fee is required, and the process is set up to allow the student to select which events to attend. Participating in the process in no way obligates an individual to join a fraternity, and prospective members can attend events from any number of houses they choose. Fraternities may give out bids – an invitation to join – at any time, but typically bids are given out at the nearer to the end of the recruitment process. Students are encouraged to visit as many chapters as possible during the recruitment period to discover the group that best meets his needs.

Although most men join during the IFC designated recruitment period, chapters are permitted to extend bids for the duration of the year. For more information, please contact the Student Life Office at (412) 268-2142, or Drew Armstrong at (908) 397-8586.
