Steps to Join an IFC chapter

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 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 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: New Members of the chapter begin and finish the education process. Chapters all have different lengths in the New Member Education (NME) process - from 72 hours to 8 weeks.

Steps to Join a MGC Chapter

The Council DOES NOT coordinate each organization's membership growth events; is done by each particular fraternity/sorority.

Step 1: Attend the MGC/NPHC Convocation. Convocation is an event to learn about the community and which organizations we have to offer. It is typically held in the first two (2) weeks of each Fall and Spring semesters. To know the date, time, and location, please check out our FSL social media pages for more details (@usf_fsl)

Step 2: Attend an organization's Informational session, Interest Meeting, or Intake/Recruitment event. These meetings/events will provide an overview of their organization as well as the requirements and additional steps needed to join. Ways to find out about these events:

  • Ask the Fraternity and Sorority Life staff
  • Attend the particular organization's Week of Welcome (WOW) or other events
  • Attend the Council's Informational Session
  • Look out for flyers on bulletin boards across campus
  • Look at the respective organization's social media pages
  • Contact the individual organization
  • Look for information on each organization's local or national websites

Please note:

  • Some organizations allow first time in college (FTIC) and transfer students to join right away,
  • Some organizations require more minimum requirements, such as completing at least 12 credit hours at USF before joining, submitting transcripts, submitting resumes, etc.
  • Some organizations do not have intake/recruitment every semester.

Step 2: Attend Orientation. PHA will present an overview of the community, expectations, and days of recruitment. Orientation is also where Potential New Members (PNMs) meet their Recruitment Counselors, or Rho Gamma's. Rho Gamma's are initiated members of PHA sororities who have temporarily disassociated from their organization in order to serve as guides for the entirety of Recruitment.

Step 3: Day 1 to Day 4 - Recruitment Rounds. All Potential New Members (PNMs) must attend the Recruitment events they are invited to over the course of each day.

Step 4: Day 5 - Bid Day. This day is when all Potential New Members (PNMs) may receive a bid and celebrate joining the PHA community.

Step 5: Week 1+ - New Member Education (NME). Once a Potential New Member (PNM) accepts a bid, they become a New Member of the chapter, then begin and finish the education process.

Please note:

  • Membership invitations/bids are not gaunreteed, and not everyone receives a bid.
  • Receiving a bid is contingent upon multiple factors including, but not limited to, grades, the conversations taking place between PNMs and chapters, and whether the potential member matches a sorority's membership criteria.

CONDUCT HISTORY

In the spirit of transparency and accountability, the report found below outlines the conduct history of fraternities and sororities overseen by the Center for Student Involvement at the ßÙßÇÂþ»­ throughout the last three years:

Fraternity and Sorority Life Conduct History

 

unrecognized chapters/groups

The Student Organization Handbook and the USF Student Code of Conduct defines a student organization as a group of currently enrolled ßÙßÇÂþ»­ students who unite to promote a common interest, who are recognized by the university as a registered student organization. USF requires all fraternities and sororities to be affiliated with a governing council under the umbrella of Fraternity and Sorority Life within the Center for Student Involvement as well as requiring a larger, inter/nationally-based organization who provides additional supervision, guidance, and programming on a wide variety of topics.

Please note: students affiliating with an unregistered student organization, including fraternities and sororities not recognized by Fraternity and Sorority Life/USF, may be held individually responsible for actions stemming from membership in the organization through the ßÙßÇÂþ»­ Student Code of Conduct. Students who join organizations who have no affiliation with the University and/or inter/national organization(s) are not provided liability insurance or direct advisor support and are more likely to fall victim to academic, judicial, legal, or other problems while involved.

Unauthorized expansion/extension activities, such as "campus crashing", "ghost lines," recruiting or soliciting membership, pre-initiation activities, pledging, educating and/or initiating ßÙßÇÂþ»­ students without having approved recognition through Fraternity and Sorority Life will not be allowed. Some organizations may portray themselves as registered student organizations. Additionally, any potential chapter (otherwise known as an entity) and/or chapter operating at USF must be working toward or have a charter which designates itself as a chapter at USF. City-wide/metro chapters are not permitted at USF.

Please note that the following fraternities and sororities are not considered registered student organizations at this time and have no current affiliation with USF:

  • Beta Chi Theta
  • Chi Phi
  • Chi Phi Sigma
  • Delta Chi
  • Lambda Chi Alpha
  • Sigma Sigma Rho
  • SigEx
  • Verdandi
