Interfraternity Council (IFC) Fraternity Recruitment Process
The Interfraternity Council conducts membership recruitment within the first few weeks of each semester. Typically, there are a number of informational and social events that all chapters organize to provide interested men the opportunity to meet active members and learn about their organization.
During the Fall semester, all of the fraternities distribute invitations for membership (commonly called a 'bid') together through the IFC. During the Spring semester, each chapter develops its own recruitment schedule. We encourage you to ask each organization questions about the recruitment and bid process.
To participate in fraternity recruitment, a man must be enrolled in at least twelve (12) units at CSUSB, and have a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher (Individual chapters may have a higher GPA requirement to join).
IFC Upcoming Events for Fall 2022:
- IFC Kick Off
