Recruitment/Rush

At the beginning of every semester, the Interfraternity Council has organized events to promote joining a fraternity – this is called formal recruitment. Below are some of the events IFC has planned during formal recruitment. Each chapter does informal recruitment following the week of formal recruitment.

For more information on joining a fraternity, feel free to contact the IFC Recruitment Chair - Tony Cossette at (618) 926-4373, tonyc_21@hotmail.com, or IFC Advisor - Andy Morgan at (618) 453-5714, amorgan@siu.edu.

Requirements to Join an Interfraternity Council fraternity:
Each organization has its own minimum requirements set by their (inter)national organization and SIUC chapter.  Please contact the SIUC chapter that you are interested in to find out their requirements.  IFC has its own minimum requirements in addition to the (inter)national and chapter requirements.  To join an IFC fraternity, a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.4 or in the top half of his high school class is required, in addition to being a student at SIUC.
