About IFC Recruitment
IFC fraternities may give out bids for membership during the spring and summer months before the start of classes. Although the Alabama Interfraternity Council does not host formal recruitment rounds, recruits will have the opportunity to meet and interact with chapters during the structured recruitment period. The schedule for this can be found at www.universityofalabamaifc.com.
In order to officially accept a bid from any organization, you must be registered for recruitment with the IFC. By registering for recruitment your name and information is made available to all the IFC fraternities. However, registering for recruitment does not guarantee a bid for membership. Remember, recruitment is about getting to know the chapters and letting the chapters get to know you. It is important that you make an effort to meet as many fraternity men as possible throughout the recruitment process. You can register for IFC Fall 2021 Recruitment by clicking below.
