Interfraternity Council Rush
Interfraternity Council (IFC) houses 8 chapters with one new chapter expanding to campus this fall. Chapters have the ability to conduct membership recruitment any time classes are in session. The Fall 2023 Rush events will take place from September 5 - September 17. Chapters sponsor a variety of recruitment activities and events during the second and third 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 chapters they choose. Fraternities may give out bids – an invitation to join – at any time, but typically bids are given out nearer to the end of the recruitment process.
