Fraternities use an informal mutual selection process to recruit members for their chapter. This process is 365 days a year and it allows students to really narrow down the fraternity they feel they fit best with. Chapters may host recruitment events such as barbecues, sporting events, and dinners either in Manhattan or a place near your hometown. Interested in specific organizations? You're welcome to reach out to them to showe your interest and inquire about upcoming recruitment event opportunities.
Chapters will designate two to three recruitment chairmen that head up the process for each organization - these are the people to reach out to.
If you are interested in specific chapters, consider reaching out to their recruitment chairmen through email or text. From there, you may be asked to visit with chapter members, attend a spring recruitment event, or have dinner with the men if or when they visit your hometown. All IFC recruitment events must be alcohol-free.
Bids
A bid is a formal invitation to join a fraternity that may be extended physically (letter, email) or verbally (in person, over the phone).
Throughout this year, recruitment chairmen will be extending invitations to join their fraternity. The chapter will provide a bid card with your name on it, ensuring your spot in their chapter for the fall semester. This is what binds you to their chapter and is an official document. Chapters with facilities may also give you a housing contract to complete.
