Joining a chapter within the Interfraternity Council

Max Anderson

Message from the IFC VP of Member Experience 

Joining a fraternity is about finding your people and a brotherhood that supports you, challenges you, and stands by you long after graduation. We’re proud of the values we uphold and the friendships we form, and we’re excited to welcome new members who want to be a part of something bigger.

Our IFC fraternities provide opportunities to better yourself, find lifelong friends, and improve your overall experience here at UConn. If this interests you, check out our recruitment events below and follow our Instagram to stay updated. Feel free to contact me with any questions, and I hope to see you during recruitment!

Chapter Recruitment Information

Each chapter hosts a variety of events designed to provide opportunities for the brothers and potential members to get to know each other, bond over shared social experiences, and to determine if their is a mutual fit between the chapter and the potential member. Chapter recruitment schedules are typically posted on chapters' Instagram pages at the start of the semester.
