Joining an IFC Chapter allows you to make PLANS for your future:
Spring 2021
The IFC and the individual Chapters that comprise it will only host virtual recruitment events during Spring 2021 due to concerns over COVID-19. IFC Chapters will follow the guidelines and policies of OSU, as well as the guidelines and policies of local and statewide health officials. Students interested in joining a Fraternity should sign up for IFC Recruitment and interact with Individual Chapters virtually.
FAQ

2) Can I attend in-person Recruitment events?

Spring 2021 Tips
Students interested in joining a Fraternity should be proactive and connect with individual chapters through social media or phone conversations. The contact information and social media pages of individual chapters can be found here on the Chapter Profiles page. Remember that Chapters are still very excited to meet and interact with Potential New Members virtually!
Informal Recruitment
Students who are interested in joining a fraternity are able to join at any point in the calendar year. Although you are able to join a fraternity at any point, it is recommended to join earlier in order to reap the most benefits from being in a brotherhood. If you are concerned about the time commitment or any academic conflicts, reach out to the chapters you are interested in and they can help guide you through the process.
Academic Year
During the year is also a great way to meet and join a fraternity. Either sign up or contact the recruitment chair of the fraternity you are interested in. Throughout the year, IFC men are engaging in philanthropy, leadership development, the pursuit of academic success, networking, community service, and brotherhood activities. All of the activities that IFC Chapters are taking part in are prime opportunities for Potential New Members to get to know brothers, and see what life is like in the IFC Community!
