Fraternity Formal Recruitment

Thank you for your interest in joining one of our member organizations within the Interfraternity Council (IFC) through our Formal Recruitment process. The Interfraternity Council at NC State University is excited for you to explore membership in our IFC community.

The recruitment process is coordinated by the Department of Fraternity and Sorority Life and the Interfraternity Council. It is structured around a series of rounds and each round gives potential new members and chapters the opportunity to interact with one another in a formal setting. The Formal Recruitment process is a mutual selection process which gives everyone the opportunity to narrow down their options. All potential new members signed up for recruitment, will be led by a recruitment guide who will be their mentor, guide, and lead them through the process.

We look forward to meeting you soon!

Check out the IFC Guide Book to learn more about how the rush process works and get more insight on the chapters!

To make your registration as easy as possible, here is a list of information you will need:

  •  General contact information: Name, phone, high school/college GPA, high school/college involvement, expected graduation date, and your NCSU student id number
  • Legacy information: A student whose family member (typically brother/sister, mom/dad, grandmother/grandfather but can also include aunt/uncle) is a member of a particular sorority or fraternity. The student is given special membership consideration but not guaranteed a bid.
  • Headshot photo: photo you would like shared with the chapters (please no one else in the picture; does not need to be professional but should be an accurate representation)
  • Why do you want to join an IFC organization?
