Recruitment takes place each Fall and Spring semester, typically around the 2nd or 3rd week of classes, and lasts no more than 10 days total.
- Step 1: Sign up for Recruitment at https://ifcusf.mycampusdirector2.com and pay the non-refundable registration fee.
- Step 2: Day 1 – Attend Orientation and Open House. There will be a presentation from the IFC Executive Board (Orientation) and afterwards will be an opportunity for a rotational meet and greet with each chapter (Open House).
- Step 3: Day 2+ – Potential New Members (PNMs) can attend any chapter Open Events they wish. Open Events are accessible to anyone going through recruitment, without having to RSVP or receive an invitation; its an opportunity to explore all of the fraternities offered, get to know them more, and ask questions.
- Step 4: Last Day – Potential New Members (PNMs) may be extended an invitation to attend chapters’ Closed Events. Closed Events are invite-only in which the PNMs explore the chapter more deeply. Some chapters may have Alumni in attendance, or have formal interviews, and is usually a more formal/business casual attire. If you need assistant in formal/business attire, please visit the Career Services Sut-A-Bull website.
- Step 5: Bid Day – On the final day of recruitment, Potential New Members (PNMs) must attend Bid Selection and the optional Bid Rally event. PNMs may be extended one (1) or more membership invitation/bid to any of the fraternities within IFC. After meeting with IFC during Bid Selection to confirm acceptance of membership/bid, PNMs will now become New Members of the chapter. New Members can then attend an optional Bid Rally in the evening to celebrate and congratulate everyone on joining the IFC community.
Please note: Membership invitations/bids are not gaurenteed. Receiving a bid is contingent upon multiple factors and is up to the discretion of the chapter, which may include, but not limited to: grades, conversations taking place between PNMs and chapter’s, and whether the PNM matches a fraternity’s membership criteria.
Next Steps: After a PNM receives a membership invitation/bid, and they accept, they become New Members of the organization. New Members begin and finish the New Member Education (NME) process – from 72 hours to 8 weeks.
