Interfraternity Council
ABOUT THE IFCThe Interfraternity Council (IFC) at the University of Florida is the governing body for 25 men’s fraternities. The Interfraternity Council is chiefly responsible for ensuring the performance of its chapters with regard to the pillars of scholarship, leadership, service, and community. The IFC is also charged with organizing specific events including fall and spring recruitment weeks, new member orientation, and other social and educational programs. The IFC aims to lead by example by offering additional leadership opportunities and scholarships, hosting its own service events and philanthropies, and by working toward bettering the Greek, UF, and Gainesville Communities.

WHAT HAPPENS ONCE I JOIN A FRATERNITY?After joining a fraternity you will enter into an educational new member program for up to 8 weeks. Programming differs from each chapter, as each fraternity has their own events and rituals. During this time, you will be educated in the Greek ideals of the chapter and community, while building a strong bond with the members of your new fraternity. Make sure to ask about the programs you will go through as a new member.
WHAT TYPE OF LIVING ACCOMMODATIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO ME IF I JOIN AN IFC FRATERNITY?IFC fraternity chapters at UF have a wide variety of housing options. Some chapters have official chapter houses on- and off-campus in a variety of locations within the university context area. Some fraternity brothers may also choose to live together in personal off-campus houses. The cost of living in official fraternity houses is usually less than or comparable to the market price of living in Gainesville. Chapter members have the option to live in these locations if they so choose. In addition, IFC fraternity houses offer economical and nutritious meal plans that range from use of a full-time cook to various catering services depending on the individual chapter.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP IN AN IFC FRATERNITY?IFC fraternities provide many rich opportunities for socialization at UF, including brotherhood events, intramural sports, cultural awareness programs, and parties regulated by the IFC. In addition, IFC fraternities offer vast social networks where members can develop life-long friendships and strong support networks with other men of common interests. This social outlet can be especially important to men in their first and second year at UF as they become acclimated to college life. Community service and philanthropic activities are also an important component of IFC fraternity life.

“My experience in Greek life at the University of Florida
undoubtedly helped develop me into a better man, while at the same time allowed me to build invaluable relationships and memories that will last a
lifetime.”
- Sean Murtha
WHAT IS THE UNIVERSITY’S STANCE ON HAZING?The University of Florida seeks to promote a safe environment in which students may participate without compromising their health, safety, or welfare, and as such takes hazing seriously. Hazing is prohibited by law in the state of Florida and in the UF Student Code of Conduct. The prevention of hazing is the responsibility of every member of the University community. To file a complaint, please contact Sorority and Fraternity Affairs at (352) 392-1671. For more information on the UF Anti-Hazing Policy, visit www.dso.ufl.edu/sccr.
HOW MUCH TIME DOES BEING IN A FRATERNITY TAKE UP?The first semester of being in a fraternity is a large time commitment. The time requirement is about the equivalent to a 3-credit hour class at the University of Florida. In joining a fraternity, members can choose to give as much or as little of their time as they desire; often, the more energy and time a member dedicates to his fraternity, the more that member gains from the experience. Even though this may seem like a large amount of time, during this time many programs are available that promote study skills and scholarship including study hours and tutoring sessions. Being involved in a fraternity does not preclude individuals from participating in other extracurricular activities and many members are highly active in other organizations at the University. Make sure to ask about time commitment to each fraternity you visit.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Come see what the 25 different chapters of the Interfraternity Council have to offer you! Our formal fall 2018 recruitment week will take place from Sunday, August 26, through Friday, August 31. The spring recruitment week is still TBD but takes place early spring semester.
All events are “open house” style, meaning you can come and stop by any chapter at any point throughout the duration of the event. Most prospective members will visit multiple chapters each night throughout recruitment week. A chapter can decide to give a bid to a prospective member at any time during formal recruitment week, which can then be accepted up through the end of recruitment week by the prospective member.
We encourage prospective members to “rush” as many chapters as possible to see what our IFC community has to offer. Remember to dress comfortably but nicely, and bring an open attitude.
AUGUST 26, doors open at 6PM with a prompt start at 6:30PM: FALL RECRUITMENT ORIENTATION, PHILLIPS CENTER >> IMPORTANT: If you are considering coming out to recruitment even in the slightest, you must attend the Fall Recruitment Orientation Session. At this forum, the IFC Executive Board will distribute important information to help you through recruitment week.
This event offers a chance for you to meet with members of all 26 IFC chapters.
AUGUST 27-31:• 11AM-1PM: LUNCH AT CHAPTERS (TIMES VARY) • 5:30-6:30PM: DINNER AT CHAPTERS (TIMES VARY)• 8-11PM: NIGHTLY RECRUITMENT EVENTS HOSTED BY CHAPTERS

SOCIALThe social life of an IFC man at UF is unrivaled. The time management skills that you learn by joining a fraternity allow you to properly balance all of your affairs while still maintaining an excellent social life, including downtown socials, grab-a-dates, crush parties, away functions, formals, and woodsers. But the pinnacle of all social events is football season in the Southeast — no college does football game days like the Gators in The Swamp!
Your group of fraternity brothers will become some of the best friends you will have at UF. Through new member class retreats, team building projects, and brotherhood events you will build lifelong bonds with your fraternity. Fraternity brotherhood outings range from paintball, camping, and fishing trips, to something as simple as catching a baseball game at McKethan Stadium. Your fraternity and brothers will truly become your home away from home during college. Joining an IFC fraternity will give you a great social experience at UF, while teaching you great communication skills and what it means to be a true gentleman.
ALUMNI NETWORKINGIFC men experience unparalleled success in the professional world after college. While some of this success can be accredited to outstanding academics, what really separates an IFC man from the average student is his ability to network. As mentioned before, joining the Interfraternity Council will expose you to a community of the future leaders in the professional world. Moreover, every IFC chapter at the UF has a grid of highly involved and influential alumni who can help you create contacts with potential employers.
Whatever your future career of choice, chances are you will cross paths with former Greek members — and it’s no secret that Greeks like to hire fellow Greeks. As many will tell you, it is often just as much about who you know, as it is about what is on your resume, when trying to land that interview or job. Joining an IFC chapter will give you access to networking resources that other students simply cannot replicate.

KEY: FRATERNITIESSORORITIES
WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN CONTINUED
BROTHERHOODOne of the key advantages to joining an IFC fraternity at UF is that doing so will make you a part of a smaller community on campus. The IFC prides itself on the close-knit friendships that we share as both a council and among our individual chapters.
INTRAMURAL SPORTSMembers of the Greek community represent some of the best athletes that UF intramurals have to offer. As such, the fraternity leagues are some of the most competitive leagues on campus. Divided into two leagues, Orange and Blue, UF fraternities have developed a healthy sense of competition and consistently have the most highly attended games.
Through UF RecSports (www.recsports.ufl.edu), intramurals take place at the best facilities that campus has to offer. Fall sports include flag football, volleyball, track, bowling, and tennis. Spring sports include basketball, softball, soccer, swim, golf, and racquetball. One of the best aspects of Fall intramurals is that the flag football championship game is played in The Swamp aka Ben Hill Griffin Stadium!
The culmination of IFC intramurals at the end of the calendar year is the President’s Cup. Awarded to the overall winner of the Orange and Blue Leagues, President’s Cup winners represent the best athletic fraternities on campus. The friendly competition created by fraternity intramurals adds to the allure and prestige of the award, making athletics part of the very fabric of Greek life at UF.

PHILANTHROPYAnother way that IFC men help give back to the community is through the organization of and participation in philanthropic events. Every IFC chapter at UF organizes at least one philanthropy annually, with some having one each semester. From cheerleading competitions and a Miss Greek pageant to an Earth ball tournament, IFC fraternities find fun and exciting ways to raise funds for their charities of choice. Chapters from the other councils, especially the Panhellenic Council, participate in IFC philanthropies, and vice versa.
• Chicken Wing Charity Thing has raised money for the Children’s Miracle Network at Shands Hospital since 2010, seeing a turnout of over 1,100 people and raising over $15,000 in 2018.
• Dance Marathon at UF, the largest student-run philanthropy in the Southeastern U.S., features students who stand and dance for 26.2 hours in support of children at UF Health. This year alone, Florida Greeks at Dance Marathon raised over $2,051,376.42 for the Children’s Miracle Network in 2018.
SERVICEDespite the stereotypes of fraternity men, IFC men are in reality well-rounded individuals whose focus reaches far beyond that of social excellence. Greek men and women form the largest network of volunteers in the U.S., and Greeks volunteer approximately 60,000 hours of community service annually.
At UF, the Interfraternity Council takes pride in giving back to the Gainesville community and surrounding areas. Every chapter completes a minimum of two service projects each semester, yet many fraternities go above and beyond. Service projects with heavy IFC involvement include our clothing drive, Project Makeover for local schools, and the Great American Cleanup.

WHY YOU SHOULD JOINACADEMICSEvery fraternity at the University of Florida works to help their new and current members learn and develop through higher education. Fraternities promote academic excellence through peer tutoring, group study sessions, resource information, learning incentives, and scholarship opportunities. Most chapters work to provide new members with upper-classmen study partners, who are interested in the same field. Excelling academically is a first priority for all fraternity members and the all-Greek grade point average regularly surpasses the overall UF average.
INVOLVEMENT & LEADERSHIPYour involvement experiences in high school likely played a key role in your admission to the University of Florida. As you begin your journey as a Gator, you will find that there is a whole new world of organizations to help you gain valuable leadership experience. By joining an IFC fraternity, the opportunity to grow and evolve as a dynamic leader of your peers will be available to you. Prominent and prestigious campus organizations such as Student Government, Student Senate, Student Government Productions (SGP), ACCENT Speakers Bureau, Gator Growl, Homecoming, Florida Cicerones, Dance Marathon, and Florida Blue Key all include Greek members — more specifically, IFC men in a variety of leadership positions. These involvement opportunities will not only provide tangible skills for your professional career, but will set you apart as a contributing member of society.

COST BREAKDOWNEach fraternity is self-supported through dues charged to all members. In the first year of membership, a few one-time expenses are assessed. After those initial payments are made, a new member’s expense will be his regular dues. Please ask individual chapters about their financial obligations. NOTE: There are local and national scholarships available to help members financially — ask individual chapters for more information.

WHY YOU SHOULD JOINACADEMICSEvery fraternity at the University of Florida works to help their new and current members learn and develop through higher education. Fraternities promote academic excellence through peer tutoring, group study sessions, resource information, learning incentives, and scholarship opportunities. Most chapters work to provide new members with upper-classmen study partners, who are interested in the same field. Excelling academically is a first priority for all fraternity members and the all-Greek grade point average regularly surpasses the overall UF average.
INVOLVEMENT & LEADERSHIPYour involvement experiences in high school likely played a key role in your admission to the University of Florida. As you begin your journey as a Gator, you will find that there is a whole new world of organizations to help you gain valuable leadership experience. By joining an IFC fraternity, the opportunity to grow and evolve as a dynamic leader of your peers will be available to you. Prominent and prestigious campus organizations such as Student Government, Student Senate, Student Government Productions (SGP), ACCENT Speakers Bureau, Gator Growl, Homecoming, Florida Cicerones, Dance Marathon, and Florida Blue Key all include Greek members — more specifically, IFC men in a variety of leadership positions. These involvement opportunities will not only provide tangible skills for your professional career, but will set you apart as a contributing member of society.

PHILANTHROPYAnother way that IFC men help give back to the community is through the organization of and participation in philanthropic events. Every IFC chapter at UF organizes at least one philanthropy annually, with some having one each semester. From cheerleading competitions and a Miss Greek pageant to an Earth ball tournament, IFC fraternities find fun and exciting ways to raise funds for their charities of choice. Chapters from the other councils, especially the Panhellenic Council, participate in IFC philanthropies, and vice versa.
• Chicken Wing Charity Thing has raised money for the Children’s Miracle Network at Shands Hospital since 2010, seeing a turnout of over 1,100 people and raising over $15,000 in 2018.
• Dance Marathon at UF, the largest student-run philanthropy in the Southeastern U.S., features students who stand and dance for 26.2 hours in support of children at UF Health. This year alone, Florida Greeks at Dance Marathon raised over $2,051,376.42 for the Children’s Miracle Network in 2018.
SERVICEDespite the stereotypes of fraternity men, IFC men are in reality well-rounded individuals whose focus reaches far beyond that of social excellence. Greek men and women form the largest network of volunteers in the U.S., and Greeks volunteer approximately 60,000 hours of community service annually.
At UF, the Interfraternity Council takes pride in giving back to the Gainesville community and surrounding areas. Every chapter completes a minimum of two service projects each semester, yet many fraternities go above and beyond. Service projects with heavy IFC involvement include our clothing drive, Project Makeover for local schools, and the Great American Cleanup.

KEY: FRATERNITIESSORORITIES
WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN CONTINUED
BROTHERHOODOne of the key advantages to joining an IFC fraternity at UF is that doing so will make you a part of a smaller community on campus. The IFC prides itself on the close-knit friendships that we share as both a council and among our individual chapters.
INTRAMURAL SPORTSMembers of the Greek community represent some of the best athletes that UF intramurals have to offer. As such, the fraternity leagues are some of the most competitive leagues on campus. Divided into two leagues, Orange and Blue, UF fraternities have developed a healthy sense of competition and consistently have the most highly attended games.
Through UF RecSports (www.recsports.ufl.edu), intramurals take place at the best facilities that campus has to offer. Fall sports include flag football, volleyball, track, bowling, and tennis. Spring sports include basketball, softball, soccer, swim, golf, and racquetball. One of the best aspects of Fall intramurals is that the flag football championship game is played in The Swamp aka Ben Hill Griffin Stadium!
The culmination of IFC intramurals at the end of the calendar year is the President’s Cup. Awarded to the overall winner of the Orange and Blue Leagues, President’s Cup winners represent the best athletic fraternities on campus. The friendly competition created by fraternity intramurals adds to the allure and prestige of the award, making athletics part of the very fabric of Greek life at UF.
Come see what the 25 different chapters of the Interfraternity Council have to offer you! Our formal fall 2018 recruitment week will take place from Sunday, August 26, through Friday, August 31. The spring recruitment week is still TBD but takes place early spring semester.
All events are “open house” style, meaning you can come and stop by any chapter at any point throughout the duration of the event. Most prospective members will visit multiple chapters each night throughout recruitment week. A chapter can decide to give a bid to a prospective member at any time during formal recruitment week, which can then be accepted up through the end of recruitment week by the prospective member.
We encourage prospective members to “rush” as many chapters as possible to see what our IFC community has to offer. Remember to dress comfortably but nicely, and bring an open attitude.
AUGUST 26, doors open at 6PM with a prompt start at 6:30PM: FALL RECRUITMENT ORIENTATION, PHILLIPS CENTER >> IMPORTANT: If you are considering coming out to recruitment even in the slightest, you must attend the Fall Recruitment Orientation Session. At this forum, the IFC Executive Board will distribute important information to help you through recruitment week.
This event offers a chance for you to meet with members of all 26 IFC chapters.
AUGUST 27-31:• 11AM-1PM: LUNCH AT CHAPTERS (TIMES VARY) • 5:30-6:30PM: DINNER AT CHAPTERS (TIMES VARY)• 8-11PM: NIGHTLY RECRUITMENT EVENTS HOSTED BY CHAPTERS
RUSH WEEK IMPORTANT DATES
SOCIALThe social life of an IFC man at UF is unrivaled. The time management skills that you learn by joining a fraternity allow you to properly balance all of your affairs while still maintaining an excellent social life, including downtown socials, grab-a-dates, crush parties, away functions, formals, and woodsers. But the pinnacle of all social events is football season in the Southeast — no college does football game days like the Gators in The Swamp!
Your group of fraternity brothers will become some of the best friends you will have at UF. Through new member class retreats, team building projects, and brotherhood events you will build lifelong bonds with your fraternity. Fraternity brotherhood outings range from paintball, camping, and fishing trips, to something as simple as catching a baseball game at McKethan Stadium. Your fraternity and brothers will truly become your home away from home during college. Joining an IFC fraternity will give you a great social experience at UF, while teaching you great communication skills and what it means to be a true gentleman.
ALUMNI NETWORKINGIFC men experience unparalleled success in the professional world after college. While some of this success can be accredited to outstanding academics, what really separates an IFC man from the average student is his ability to network. As mentioned before, joining the Interfraternity Council will expose you to a community of the future leaders in the professional world. Moreover, every IFC chapter at the UF has a grid of highly involved and influential alumni who can help you create contacts with potential employers.
Whatever your future career of choice, chances are you will cross paths with former Greek members — and it’s no secret that Greeks like to hire fellow Greeks. As many will tell you, it is often just as much about who you know, as it is about what is on your resume, when trying to land that interview or job. Joining an IFC chapter will give you access to networking resources that other students simply cannot replicate.

“My experience in Greek life at the University of Florida
undoubtedly helped develop me into a better man, while at the same time allowed me to build invaluable relationships and memories that will last a
lifetime.”
- Sean Murtha
WHAT IS THE UNIVERSITY’S STANCE ON HAZING?The University of Florida seeks to promote a safe environment in which students may participate without compromising their health, safety, or welfare, and as such takes hazing seriously. Hazing is prohibited by law in the state of Florida and in the UF Student Code of Conduct. The prevention of hazing is the responsibility of every member of the University community. To file a complaint, please contact Sorority and Fraternity Affairs at (352) 392-1671. For more information on the UF Anti-Hazing Policy, visit www.dso.ufl.edu/sccr.
HOW MUCH TIME DOES BEING IN A FRATERNITY TAKE UP?The first semester of being in a fraternity is a large time commitment. The time requirement is about the equivalent to a 3-credit hour class at the University of Florida. In joining a fraternity, members can choose to give as much or as little of their time as they desire; often, the more energy and time a member dedicates to his fraternity, the more that member gains from the experience. Even though this may seem like a large amount of time, during this time many programs are available that promote study skills and scholarship including study hours and tutoring sessions. Being involved in a fraternity does not preclude individuals from participating in other extracurricular activities and many members are highly active in other organizations at the University. Make sure to ask about time commitment to each fraternity you visit.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE IFCThe Interfraternity Council (IFC) at the University of Florida is the governing body for 25 men’s fraternities.

WHAT HAPPENS ONCE I JOIN A FRATERNITY?After joining a fraternity you will enter into an educational new member program for up to 8 weeks. Programming differs from each chapter, as each fraternity has their own events and rituals. During this time, you will be educated in the Greek ideals of the chapter and community, while building a strong bond with the members of your new fraternity. Make sure to ask about the programs you will go through as a new member.
WHAT TYPE OF LIVING ACCOMMODATIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO ME IF I JOIN AN IFC FRATERNITY?IFC fraternity chapters at UF have a wide variety of housing options. Some chapters have official chapter houses on- and off-campus in a variety of locations within the university context area. Some fraternity brothers may also choose to live together in personal off-campus houses. The cost of living in official fraternity houses is usually less than or comparable to the market price of living in Gainesville. Chapter members have the option to live in these locations if they so choose. In addition, IFC fraternity houses offer economical and nutritious meal plans that range from use of a full-time cook to various catering services depending on the individual chapter.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP IN AN IFC FRATERNITY?IFC fraternities provide many rich opportunities for socialization at UF, including brotherhood events, intramural sports, cultural awareness programs, and parties regulated by the IFC. In addition, IFC fraternities offer vast social networks where members can develop life-long friendships and strong support networks with other men of common interests. This social outlet can be especially important to men in their first and second year at UF as they become acclimated to college life. Community service and philanthropic activities are also an important component of IFC fraternity life.
