Many of the chapters in the Interfraternity Council (IFC) have long histories, and each offers a unique experience. Some fraternities and traditions date back to 1883, when UT Austin first opened its doors. The Longhorn fraternity experience revolves around character, leadership, responsibility, and philanthropy. As a collection of fraternities, IFC represents a large percentage of the total sorority and fraternity population.

faq Who is eligible? Only University of Texas at Austin students are eligible to join an IFC fraternity. Every fraternity has other minimum requirements that are set by their national organizations. How do I join? The recruitment process is important to every fraternity. Many IFC chapters begin recruitment during the summer. If you’re interested in joining, register for recruitment with IFC. Each fraternity conducts its own recruitment and establishes its own selection process.

Is there an IFC formal recruitment? No. The IFC does not organize a formal recruitment for students interested in a fraternity. However, each chapter does have access to contact information supplied by students who register for IFC recruitment. Registration link: www.texasifc.com
