Interfraternity Council Recruitment Process
The Interfraternity Council conducts membership recruitment in the first three weeks of each semester. Typically chapters sponsor their own recruitment activities over a 5-7 day period. No registration fee is required, and it is up to the student to select which events to attend. Fraternities can start giving out "bids," which are inviatation to join, at any time, but typically "bids" are given out on a night which is designated by the IFC. Students are encouraged to visit as many chapters as practical during the recruitment period to discover the group that best meets their needs. Although most men join during the IFC-designated recruitment period, chapters are permitted to extend bids for the duration of the semester.
