IFC Rush
IFC Recruitment
Informational Session at Preview 2013
Greek Life and Fraternity Housing are sponsoring an informational session after you check in for Freshman orientation. There are several concurrent sessions, and we hope you will consider attending one of our 30 minute presentations. These will occur from 2-4 pm on Check-in day.
The Interfraternity Council (IFC) remains in a perpetual state of recruitment (a.k.a. "rush"). As each of our fraternities are constantly hosting recruitment activities, September and February tend to be when most recruitment events occur. While individual chapters host specific events, the IFC also hosts events that include all chapters.
How much does it cost to rush? It is FREE to participate in.
Does it cost anything if I join a chapter? Yes. The bid fee is $50 and can be paid with cash or check.
Can I pay with a credit card? At this point, we do not take credit cards.
Can I put it on my student account? At this point, we do not have the abiltiy to do that.
Are there any other fees?
In addition to the bid signing fee paid to join, every chapters collect dues. Dues go to pay insurance, fun social and philanthropic activities, and many other things. Chapters collect these dues in a variety of ways, and are very good about working with you should you need assistance. Many offer scholarships or payment plans to their members. Also, fraternity housing will assess a $50 "PARLOR" fee which WILL go on your student account. This is what everyone who is a member of a fraternity pays if they do not live in the house. It goes toward the chapter room and house maintainence.
