The Interfraternity Council (IFC) is the governing body for the traditionally-housed men's fraternities here at Oregon State University. This site serves as the central location for information about the benefits of fraternity life and provides guidance for how to go through fraternity recruitment. For more recruitment info, see our Recruitment Pages or contact Sam Burgener or Brandon Hughes, the IFC Vice Presidents of Recruitment.
