Formal Recruitment

Formal recruitment is the primary way Potential New Members (PNMs) join our community. Coordinated by the IFC Recruitment Team each fall semester, this week-long structured process consists of a series of events called Rounds. PNMs start by visiting each chapter and, as the week progresses, participate in a mutual selection process to narrow down their options. By the final round, PNMs have the opportunity to receive a bid from up to three chapters. All potential new members interested in the Interfraternity Council recruitment process must have a minimum 2.5 GPA to participate. Learn more about IFC Formal Recruitment.
