IFC President's Welcome
01
A Welcome from our President On behalf of the twenty-five active chapters that make up the Interfraternity Council, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our IFC Viewbook. Greek life at Penn is a unique experience. It is not a stretch to say that our Greek community encompasses a wider range of characters and cultures than can be found in any other Greek life in the nation. There is truly a place for anyone and everyone. Through the Greek community, you will befriend students from 6 continents, and from every nook and cranny of America. You and 3,000 other students will share a common experience, unparalleled as a grounds for unanimity and as an avenue for discussing difference. The relationships you make in Greek life will stay with you for the rest of your life. At a world-class institution, our community is a bastion of excellence, maintaining higher academic standards, retention rates, and initial job placement after graduation. These are simply the outward signs of strong community. We uphold a long tradition rich in history and campus involvement. This University has been built by Greek men and women. Quite a few of your professors, not to mention members of the board of directors, talk with fondness of their time in Greek life. The connections with past generations of Penn Greeks runs strong; our alumni are our advocates and mentors. You will learn and grow into the mold of your fraternity, so choose wisely. Each fraternity has a unique set of values and manners; find the one where you will become your best self. This Viewbook is intended as an introduction, so it should not be the end of your exploration. It is always better to hear it from the horse's mouth. Talk to current members and ask them about their experiences. Whether you are a parent, a prospective fraternity member, or currently affiliated with one of our chapters, I hope this guide will answer some of your questions. If not, please do not hesitate to contact members of the Interfraternity Council, chapter presidents, or the Office of Fraternity of Fraternity & Sorority Life. I look forward to meeting all of you in the future, at Penn or in the years beyond. Louis Galarowicz 2020 IFC President

As a longstanding university with a rich history, many organizations have been present on Penn’s campus for more than 100 years. The history and traditions of each chapter continue to inspire longlasting community, leadership, and alumni support. Belong: Thriving at Penn is about finding people you can count on. Our fraternities look like events, philanthropy, and houses to outsiders, but what makes our brotherhoods impactful are the close, reallife, and genuine relationships that last a lifetime. Support: College is a fun, exciting time of your lives, but it can also be challenging. As you experience the highs and lows of school and life, you are surrounded by a group of people who have pledged to support and care for you.

Benef its of Greek Life and Resources
03
Benefits of Greek Life Community Greek life gives students the chance to meet friends and like-minded people. It also gives you the chance to connect with people from other Greek organizations, and the chance to form intimate bonds with the brothers/siblings in ones organization.
Academic Support Fraternities consist of students across all years of undergraduate study. Many members will have the same major and can often be in the same classes. This can lead to the formation of study groups, tutoring sessions, and study hours. Greek Life students at Penn also have a higher average GPA than non-Greek students.
Networking Participating in Greek life offers benefits once you've graduated. Many organizations have networks and alumni around the world that can help you find jobs, get career advice, and get resources after graduation. Many Greek members are leaders in their fields and you never know who you might meet through a Greek life connection.
Leadership Fraternities offer members the chances to gain leadership experience. As an officer of ones organization or as an officer on the IFC Board, Greek members have the opportunity to make important decisions, and practice cooperative leadership skills. These experiences also look good on a resume.

All second-semester freshmen, as well as sophomores, juniors, and seniors, are eligible to participate in recruitment/intake if they meet the eligibility requirements for OFSL and the member organization.
Panhellenic Primary Recruitment is the formal process through which potential new members consider sororities, while sororities choose new sisters.

Through a process of mutual selection, students narrow their choices until they are matched to a sorority following the last round.

Spring 2021 Recruitment Information The IFC at Penn is glad you have taken the first steps to become a member of the fraternity & sorority community. The IFC is currently a community of 25 recognized and active social fraternities: 23 are men’s-fraternities and 2 (Alpha Delta Phi Society and Delta Phi/St. Elmo Club) have coed/gender-inclusive memberships. Even in a virtual environment, our purposes have not waivered. At our core, we strive to provide a place of belonging where members experience fellowship, develop interpersonally, succeed academically, and contribute positively to Penn, Philadelphia, and society as a whole. Fraternities at Penn are values-based organizations and comprise a wide array of individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences.

Both websites show a list of recognized IFC fraternities. Unfortunately, at Penn, some groups of students operate independently but refer to themselves as fraternities. They are not affiliated with the IFC since they were de-recognized by their National Headquarters for severe health & safety violations related to hazing, alcohol, drugs, and/or other incidents. The organizations in this viewbook are the only recognized fraternities at Penn.
