General Information

Welcome to the University of Kansas! Here at KU, we are proud to be home to one of the most prestigious sorority and fraternity communities in the country. The Interfraternity Council fraternities have promoted brotherhood, friendship, service, and academics for over 130 years.

To become a member of a fraternity, you must go through the process of recruitment. Recruitment, simply stated, is the membership selection process. Our process at The University of Kansas is a little more complex than other traditional campuses you may be familiar with.

IFC fraternity recruitment at KU occurs year-round. However, your experience when going through recruitment can be very different depending on the time of year. Recruitment is therefore broken down into two categories Structured or Unstructured. The intended outcomes of both our structured and unstructured recruitment process are the same: to showcase the values and principles that each fraternal organization upholds. Each fraternity has its own core values and both recruitment processes provide an avenue for a prospective member to determine if an IFC fraternity is right for them.

Although many Potential New Members, or PNMs for short, might find their respective chapters through the use of only one form of recruitment, we encourage you to participate in all opportunities should one not yield the result you wanted. Keep in mind that the decision to join is entirely up to you so take your time in making your decision. Also, don't be afraid to continue to visit other chapters even when you are faced with invitations from multiple. Visiting as many chapters as possible is the key to successful recruitment.

Thanks! And welcome to the Rock Chalk Family!
