IFC Recruitment
The Interfraternity Council (IFC) recruitment process happens at the beginning of each the fall and spring semesters. There is no formal registration process; however, all interested students are to complete the Bradley University Fraternity and Sorority Interest Form before they can be officially invited to join a chapter.
The IFC along with the Panhellenic Council will host a welcome to campus celebration and recruitment kick-off event known as the Block Party on Wednesday, August 23 at 6 p.m. on Fredonia Ave. All are invited to attend this free event for free food and music.
IFC will host an orientation for all interested students on Friday, August 25 in Marty Theater in the Student Center immediately following the end of the Activities Fair.
Chapters will host individual events throughout the following week to get to know students more in-depth. On Friday, Sept. 1, chapters will hold invite-only events as a formal last recruitment event. Perspective men will have the opportunity to find which chapter(s) they received bid(s) from on Saturday, Sept. 2, from the Interfraternity Council. A ceremony, known as Annadexus, will be held on Sunday, Sept. 3, in which each prospective man will be announced with the chapter they have chosen. Individual chapter bid day activities will be conducted following the Bid Day ceremony aligned with policies and procedures.
Chapters are encouraged to continue their informal recruitment events throughout the Fall Semester. Chapters must conclude their new member education classes and initiation prior to the last day of classes for the fall semester.
