GREETINGS!

. . . . . . .
. . . . . . .
nd greetings from the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Engagement! There are few sorority and fraternity communities across the country that are as unique, dynamic, and robust as the community
at Iowa State University. Sororities and fraternities members at Iowa State consistently receive recognition at every level you could imagine: personal, chapter, regional, national, and international! For years, our community has been known as one of the best of the best. There is an incredible opportunity ahead of you if you would like. As you think about what fraternity you should join, you should take some time to reflect on your own life. You should choose a fraternity of men who have similar values, ideals, principles, interests, and goals to your own. These should be men you feel comfortable around. You are making a commitment for a lifetime and this is a serious decision. You should choose a group of men you would be proud to call your brothers. ‘ There are many great characteristics of our fraternities at Iowa State. Take the opportunity to visit with multiple chapters, look at organizations from multiple points of view, and do not feel rushed to make a decision. This commitment is just as much your decision as it is the fraternity’s. Consider the fraternity beyond their physical structure or accolades they have received. Look at the men there now. Look at the men who used to be there. Each fraternity will highlight their own strengths and this is important to your decision.
P. 06
Our fraternities at Iowa State are thriving. Consistently, the all-fraternity grade point average exceeds the all-undergraduate men’s average. Our firstyear retention rates and graduation rates also boast higher numbers than the university averages. Fraternities at Iowa State are here to support your academic endeavors. Fraternities and sororities collectively complete 35,000 hours of community service and raised an average of $53.21 per person annually for charitable causes. There are countless leadership opportunities available to members of our community, And, yes, there are social events as well. As representatives of fraternities talk with you, ask them the tough questions. Challenge them to tell you about their organization history and values. Ask them how they live up to those values today. Ask them what they need to do better to maintain those values. A fraternity man that is confident in his own experience and knows how to align his actions with his organization’s values is a fraternity worth getting to know better. You should know that the Interfraternity Council’s recruitment process is substance free. Any organization that violates this expectation is not living the values of their organization and you should closely evaluate the ethics and standards of the organization. Have fun with this process as you consider making an incredibly important lifelong commitment. Fraternities at Iowa State have a plethora of success stories but central to all of our organizations is the commitment to friendship.

VALUES
. . . . . .
Academics. The sorority and fraternity community prides itself on holding high academic standards for its members. It consistently holds a higher GPA (3.3 fall 2020) than the all-university undergraduate average (3.18 fall 2020). Student retention is also stronger among the sorority and fraternity community than with unaffiliated students. The Greek Academic Achievement Plan (GAAP) was developed between the Academic Success Center and the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Engagement to support chapters looking to enhance their academic achievement. Chapters collaborate with the Academic Success Center to provide effective scholarship programs, study skills, and individual academic planning.
Civic Engagement.
Each semester, chapters participate
and conduct fundraisers for charitable organizations of their choice. The sorority and fraternity community raised on average $53.21 per member annually for local and national organizations. Some organizations include the Special Olympics Iowa, Children’s Miracle Network, local shelters, emergency residence projects, and many more. The community hosts and provides opportunities for community service events including the annual Fraternity and Sorority Trick-or-Treat event, community clean up, visiting local schools and many other opportunities. The community donates over 35,000 hours annually to community service initiatives.
P. 10
Friendship. Joining a sorority or fraternity provides members an opportunity to foster lifelong friendships and countless memories through a “home away from home” environment. Chapters participate in many social events within the chapter, exchanges with other sororities and fraternities, and connections with other on-campus student groups. Through events such as Homecoming and Greek Week, chapters interact with peers to create siblinghood among members. The friendships built through a sorority and fraternity experience extend beyond college and serve as a foundation and network for your future. Mentoring opportunities after graduation with chapter alumni, advisers, graduate chapters, inter/national staff, and representatives provide members networking opportunities for many years.
Leadership. There are many ways students can get involved as a sorority and fraternity leader. The first is through chapter leadership, where students can serve in a leadership role internally to support the vision and mission of their organization. Leadership roles provide members with experience budgeting, event planning, conflict resolution, team management, and enhance critical thinking skills. Sorority and fraternity students also play a significant role in campus organizations and community activities through the city of Ames.
Social Justice. Iowa State University sorority and fraternity chapters offer diverse experiences for members. Chapters engage in critical conversations about inclusion, diversity and challenging inequalities by exposing members to opportunities they may not otherwise experience. By partnering with campus departments including The Center for LGBTQIAA+, Student Success, Margaret Sloss Center for Women and Gender Equality, Student Accessibility Services, and more, chapters learn about differences and similarities between and among the community. The sorority and fraternity community promotes social justice through educational programming and creating opportunities to bring awareness and change. Additionally, the community welcomes all students to join our variety of chapters which provide a vast array of opportunities to help each individual student succeed at Iowa State University.

The Interfraternity Council (IFC) is made up of over 30 fraternities on Iowa State’s campus.
T
hese chapters are home to over 1,800 undergraduate men at Iowa State University. Many of these organizations are a part of the North-
American Interfraternity Conference (NIC), a trade association that works to ensure fraternities can operate in an environment conducive to their success through advocacy, collaboration and education. Rich in traditions and history, 28 of the IFC fraternities have homes located near the Iowa State campus. Fraternity chapter sizes range from 20-120 members and house capacity ranges from 29-89 beds. The 31 Interfraternity Council chapters are governed by a peer-elected undergraduate board of 11 officers. These IFC officers serve the community through leadership workshops, chapter development, service projects, and recruitment.
Tyler Naughtrip INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT

HOW TO JOIN IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO IFC RECRUITMENT, REACH OUT TO THE VICE PRESIDENT OF RECRUITMENT AT IFCRECRUITMENT@IASTATE.EDU.
STRUCTURED RECRUITMENT IFC EXPERIENCE.
The IFC Experience is a weekend in March that
generally kicks-off recruitment for incoming freshmen and transfer students. During this weekend, high school seniors, transfer students, and current Iowa State undergraduate students have the opportunity to learn about fraternity life, meet recruitment chairs, tour chapter facilities, and seek potential membership. Following the IFC Experience, fraternity chapters will individually contact prospective members to follow up and maintain communication.
FALL FORMAL RECRUITMENT.
Fall Formal Recruitment 2021 will
be held in conjunction with Iowa State’s “Welcome Week” Programming. The event will begin on Sunday, August 15th, one day prior to welcome week activities, and will continue through August 19th. Participating men will have opportunities throughout the week to learn about the Interfraternity Council and the chapters within it. This event is ideal for men who would like more guidance in their recruitment experience. The event provides the opportunity to explore a wide range of chapters and systematically narrow down options through multiple rounds of chapter visits and a mutual preference process. At the end of the event, participants will receive a bid from the chapter that best fits their values, and will be welcomed by their new brothers immediately following the event.
P. 14
M
en interested in becoming a member of an IFC fraternity at Iowa State must go through the membership selection process, termed recruitment. At Iowa State the recruitment process is an informal, year-round operation. Structured recruitment for the 2021-2022 school year will take place during the week before classes in the form of Fall Formal Recruitment; However, additional informal recruitment processes will continue throughout the year on a chapter-by-chapter basis. When participating in any recruitment process, it is important to remember the “best” chapter for someone may not be the best fit for a friend or classmate.
INFORMAL RECRUITMENT 365 RECRUITMENT.
Informal recruitment within the council is a
year-round process, where interested men are able to proceed through recruitment at their own pace, with any chapters they are interested in joining. Chapters will get to know you on a personal level to see if your values align with the chapter’s values by providing men opportunities such as chapter facility tours, hanging out with members, getting a meal together, or attending special events hosted by the chapter. Each chapter has its own way of showcasing their organization to interested men, allowing those seeking membership to dive deep and discover which chapter is the best fit for them. Men who are interested in a fraternity should reach out early and often to the recruitment chairs of the chapters they are interested in. Contact information for recruitment chairs can be found on chapter websites, which are listed at the bottom of each chapter’s page in this guidebook.
SUMMER RECRUITMENT.
Many chapters utilize Iowa State
orientation to recruit during the summer. During orientation, incoming students will have the opportunity to receive a presentation about the sorority and fraternity community, including information on both formal and informal recruitment processes. Any incoming male student who attends the sorority and fraternity session will have the opportunity to share his contact information with all IFC recruitment chairs by filling out a provided form. That information will be shared with the recruitment chairs immediately, and you can expect chapters to reach out to start getting to know you.

?FAQ ????? Q: I’m worried about managing my time being a member A fraternity. How much time does chapter membership take? Similar to other clubs and organizations, the more time you dedicate to membership, the more opportunities and adventures you will experience. The time commitment varies from chapter to chapter. The first semester is generally a weekly meeting when members go through the chapter’s member education program. The majority of the chapter new member programs are six to eight weeks; these programs allow the member an opportunity to develop their leadership and time management skills, learn about the history of the organization, develop friendships and become more involved. Each chapter has a weekly chapter meeting and other required events, including initiation, recruitment and philanthropic activities throughout the year.
Q: Why are there some things fraternity members can’t talk about? What’s the big secret? Fraternity members often participate in ceremonies while becoming an active member of that organization. These ceremonies often are referred to as rituals. Fraternities pride themselves on the rituals that their chapters were founded upon. These rituals are full of the traditions and values that make the chapters unique, having been conducted for many years. However, these rituals should not be confused with hazing and other inappropriate activities. In some cases these rituals are not secret.
Q: What will I get from a Fraternity that I would not get from any other college organization? Coming to college is one of the major life changes that you will go through. Joining a fraternity chapter will help make the transition easier. Developing lifelong friendships with the members in the chapters helps make the campus seem smaller. For many members, these chapters become a home away from home. In addition to the friendship, every chapter is dedicated to enhancing academics, civic engagement, leadership and social justice.
P. 16
Q: How much does it cost? The cost of membership varies by chapter and is further outlined on page 22 of this guide. There are many scholarships awarded to sorority and fraternity members through their local chapter, inter/national organization and through Iowa State University. You can read more about the Fraternity scholarships offered to incoming students on page 24 of this guide.
Q: Do I have to live in the fraternity house? Living in the fraternity house is one way to get the most out of your fraternity experience. Most chapters have a live-in requirement for members, but it varies from chapter to chapter. Freshmen are welcomed and encouraged to live in the fraternity house when space is available. Each chapter facility provides unique qualities and benefits. Amenities for most fraternity houses includes on-site laundry, internet, parking, study areas, computer rooms, meals provided by a cook or catering service and a house director.
Q: As a family member, how can I support my student? It is important for family members to continue to be a support system for their student. One of the key components for the support is empowering students as they navigate the Sorority and Fraternity experience. Encourage your student to gather as much information as possible before they make the decision to join a fraternal organization. It is important that you discuss financial obligations and the time commitment before your student enters a recruitment or intake process with a fraternity or sorority. This will be an exciting time of new experiences in your student’s life and your support will be invaluable. Tips for supporting your student during the recruitment/intake process: • • • • • •
Allow your student to make their own decision Learn as much as you can about sorority and fraternity life and the membership experience Keep an open mind Talk to your student about the financial obligations and membership requirements Just because you’re a sorority or fraternity alumnus, doesn’t mean your student is interested in the opportunity Keep the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Engagement contact information available. Please contact us if you have questions.

The first year of college is an extremely influential and important period in a young man’s life. At Chi Phi we understand the struggles that come with a drastic change of environment and the struggles of adapting to a new schooling system. We believe it is imperative that you surround yourself by peers that can support you throughout your journey at Iowa State. We pride ourselves at truly being a home for anyone and everyone. Our founders wanted to be a part of Greek Life but did not want to be associated with typical “Frat” stereotypes. To break free of this stereotype, our founders created their own fraternity ensuring their fraternity would live up to the expectation of genuine friendship of man with man. As Chi Phi stands today, we still strongly believe in breaking negative stereotypes by building better men through leadership and core values: Truth, Honor and Personal Integrity.

PI KAPPA PHI
Here at Iowa State we have countless offices, and individuals looking out for you. With that being said you can broaden those resources by joining Pi Kappa Phi. I know when I first came to Iowa State, I thought to myself a Frat boy is not who I want to be. Although, as fraternities reached out and I kept an open mind, I found myself more and more intrigued by the idea. When I was a Freshman I didn’t know Pi Kappa Phi fundraised for an awesome national organization called The Ability Experience (helping those with special needs.) I definitely didn’t know that when you join Pi Kappa Phi you join a winners culture. A culture that provides uncommon opportunities, a culture that provides academic success, a culture that provides you with men who have your back no matter what. Don’t look at Pi Kappa Phi as a fraternity, look at it as a family.

TAU KAPPA EPSILON
When I look back years ago at my decision to join TKE, I wasn’t even sure that I wanted to join a fraternity, but after I was introduced to the men of the chapter I completely changed my mind. What stood out to me in those moments was three things, the quality of character of TKE’s members, the strength of their brotherhood, and the desire for involvement and improvement. After my initial meeting with TKE I was so inspired by what I had seen I signed immediately and began the best journey of my life. Over the years I began the process of developing myself mentally, morally, and socially through my membership in this fantastic organization. Joining TKE allowed me make changes in my life that I’m so proud of, but what it truly instilled within me was a deep desire to help others. If any of my story interests you in the slightest, I urge you to join our Chapter.

UNIVERSITY SUPPORT AND RESOURCES The sorority and fraternity community is supported by Iowa State University through administrative resources and collaborative support.

Staff in the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Engagement provide resources and support for the sorority and fraternity governing councils, inter/national organizations, local advisers, and prospective students. The Office of Sorority and Fraternity Engagement staff also utilizes a liaison structure for the individual chapters, which pair up a staff member with each chapter to receive direct support concerning individual chapter needs. The Office of Sorority and Fraternity Engagement is a unit within the Dean of Students Office, which is part of the Division of Student Affairs. Many staff and faculty members serve in advisory positions to our sorority and fraternity chapters.

ANTI-HAZING POLICY Iowa State University has a zero-tolerance policy regarding hazing. The sorority and fraternity community shares the university’s definition of hazing in the Iowa State University Student Code of Conduct, which includes hazing as any intentional, knowing, or reckless action, request, or creation of circumstances that may include, but is not limited to, the following; endangers the mental or physical health or safety of any person; or causes or presents a substantial risk of physical injury, serious mental distress, or personal humiliation to any individual; or involves any act solely based on the classification status of a student; or involves the damage, destruction or removal of public or private property; or involves impairment of physical liberties, such as sensory deprivation, kidnapping, isolation, sleep or meal deprivation, and personal servitude; involves a violation of local, state, or federal law or university policy; or otherwise creates an interference with academic endeavors, and is in connection or associated with initiation or admission into, or continued membership in, or elevating status within any recognized student organization or group affiliated with the university, including but not limited to, any student, campus, fraternal, academic, honorary, musical, athletic, or military organization. Apathy or acquiescence in the presence of hazing are not neutral acts, they are violations of this section.
. . . . . . .
. . . . . . .
Each student will sign that they understands this policy when they sign their membership acceptance card (bid card) with the chapter that they join. Hazing may be reported to the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Engagement, the Office of Student Conduct, Iowa State Police Department, or the Dean of Student Office, which is part of the Division of Student Affairs. Many staff and faculty members serve in advisory positions to our sorority and fraternity chapters.
