Due to the constantly evolving situation with COVID-19, please be sure to check back for updates on each council's recruitment and membership intake events and plans.
We are working to ensure that students who want to join a fraternity or sorority this fall are able to do so in a safe way.
CGC is the governing council for unhoused, academic interest organizations. It's membership is currently includes four sororities that each have a specific academic focus.
In the fall, CGC will hold two council-wide recruitment events where interested students can learn more about CGC's chapters, meet current members, and get information on the chapter's recruitment events. Fill out the Interest Form below to receive emails from CGC about their Fall events and chapter recruitment events.
CGC chapters hold independent recruitment processes a few times each academic year. The best way to learn about these joining opportunities is to follow CGC and its member chapters on social media.
IFC is the governing council for traditionally housed fraternities. There are currently 22 IFC fraternities with 17 being housed and 6 offering an un-housed experience.
IFC chapters can recruit new members in the summer. Chapters might contact you directly or you can learn more about chapter's summer recruitment events on their social media. It is up to each individual student if they would like to accept a bid over the summer or wait until Fall Term.
IFC Fall Recruitment will take place September 25th through October 5th. IFC will hold a series of events including a fraternity fair, chapter house tours, and chapter presentations so students can meet all 22 IFC chapters. Chapters will then hold individual chapter events where students can start to narrow down the chapters they are most interested in joining.
Participation in IFC recruitment is free but students must register for recruitment before accepting a bid from a chapter. Register using the link below!
Chapters recruit new members throughout the year, so interested students are encouraged to reach out to chapters that interest them through social media or by contacting the chapter recruitment chair. Chapter contact information can be found in their chapter profiles.
