IFC Recruitment


Joining an IFC Fraternity

Freshmen men interested in pledging during their first semester should meet as many fraternity members during the summer/early fall and learn about the various activities sponsored by each chapter. The more people you meet in fraternities, the more options are likely to be available to you at the conclusion of the process.



Pledging Information

The education period following recruitment lasts between 5-8 weeks. This time is used for brotherhood development and to teach new members about the history, traditions, structure, management and ritual of the chapter. While it is a serious time commitment, pledging should not interfere with classes or study time. Every chapter has a scholarship program that includes study hours for new members. UNA and every International Greek organization prohibit hazing in any form during this new member education period.
