How to Join an IFC Fraternity

At the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters, the Interfraternity Council holds its Formal Recruitment process. IFC Recruitment gives potential members the opportunity to meet members of each fraternity. The IFC Recruitment process is one of mutual selection: the fraternities decide which recruits they wish to invite into membership, and the recruits choose which fraternity they wish to join. Each organization will host individual recruitment events in various locations on campus and throughout the metropolitan area. The formal process lasts one week and allows students the opportunity to explore Fraternity & Sorority Life without joining any particular fraternity. At the conclusion of recruitment, each fraternity extends “bids,” or offers of membership, to men that it wishes to be part of its organization.

 

Requirements to Join an IFC Fraternity

To join an IFC fraternity and participate in formal recruitment, potential new members must complete the recruitment interest form:

Each organization has its own requirements set by their (inter)national organization and Missouri State chapter. Please contact the individual chapter that you are interested in learning more information about regarding specific requirements and or guidelines. 

 

Letter from the Interfraternity Council Vice President of Recruitment

Welcome to Missouri State! I'm so excited you're here- these next few years are going to be some of the best years of your life. There are so many ways to get involved on campus, and one of the most rewarding paths you can take is through Fraternity and Sorority Life. I'd love to personally invite you to check out our FSL community. Joining a fraternity has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. Time here has given me lifelong friendships, leadership experience, and a real sense of purpose on campus. Whether you are looking for support, service opportunities, or just a place to belong, there's a chapter out there for you. As you go through the Recruitment process, keep an open mind and really take the time to explore your options. Each organization is unique, and part of the fun is finding the one that fits you. It might feel like a lot at first, but trust the process- you'll end up right where you are meant to be. If you ever have any questions or concerns, I'm here to help. You can reach me anytime at IFC@missouristate.edu. Good luck, have fun, and Go Bears!

Fraternally,

Adam McCollum, Vice President of Recruitment
