Recruitment

General IFC Recruitment Information

IFC encourages year-round recruitment with an additional structured “recruitment week” each fall semester. Once a student has achieved the minimum university and IFC eligibility requirements, they are able to join an IFC fraternity.  Bids may be issued and accepted by registered, eligible individuals in accordance with University and IFC policies during fall and spring semesters. First time freshmen students cannot receive a bid until the formal recruitment week.

Although the university requirement for eligibility in a fraternity or sorority is a 2.5 GPA, the Interfraternity Council has raised the bar and set a strict requirement of a 2.75 GPA for High School or a 2.5 GPA for those with at least 12 college credit hours. 

Fall 2025 Recruitment

Each Fall Semester, the Interfraternity Council hosts Formal recruitment followed by a Continuous Open Bidding Process that is open the Monday following Bid Day. Recruitment week for the Fall 2025 semester is Sunday September 7- Friday September 12.

Continuous Open Bidding 

Eligible students may join an organization through the continuous opening bidding process. Once a student has achieved the minimum university and IFC eligibility requirements, they are able to join an IFC fraternity.
