INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL

The Interfraternity Council (IFC) is home to a community of male-identifying fraternities that are committed to leadership, service, scholarship and brotherhood. Together, these organizations work to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment that encourages personal growth and lifelong connection. IFC promotes unity across its chapters while upholding shared values that guide members in and out of the classroom: integrity, accountability, respect. Whether you're looking to lead service initiatives, grow as a student leader or find a sense of belonging, IFC offers a meaningful way to get involved.

"My FSL experience at Villanova has been incredibly meaningful to me. Through IFC, I’ve developed important leadership skills and grown both personally and as a leader. I’ve also had the opportunity to build so many meaningful friendships and connections that have made Villanova feel like home. I’m incredibly grateful for the people and experiences that FSL has brought into my life, and I’m excited to continue growing, building connections, and making an impact through IFC."

— Mason Lomasney, IFC President

HOW TO JOIN

All students must have completed at least one full semester at Villanova or have transferred to Villanova with at least one semester of credits to be eligible for recruitment or intake.

Students hoping to participate in the recruitment process must have at least a 2.7 cumulative GPA. Although this is the minimum GPA required to participate in recruitment, it does not guarantee membership—many chapters maintain their own GPA requirements.

All students must also be in good disciplinary standing with the University to participate in recruitment or intake processes.

PNMs must also complete a Bystander Intervention Training through the Office of Health Promotion before participating in any formal recruitment or intake process. Click HERE to register for one of the required training sessions listed below.

Friday, October 23 | 3:00–5:30 p.m.
Friday, October 30 | 3:00–5:30 p.m.
Friday, November 6 | 3:00–5:30 p.m.
Friday, November 20 | 3:00–5:30 p.m.
Friday, December 4 | 3:00–5:30 p.m.
Sunday, December 6 | 11:00 a.m.–1:30 p.m.
Sunday, December 6 | 2:00–4:30 p.m.

Please note: These are the ONLY Bystander Intervention Training sessions available before Spring 2027 recruitment and intake processes begin. No exceptions will be made for students who do not complete this requirement. Students who fail to complete the training will not be eligible to participate in a formal recruitment or intake process. Training sessions have limited capacity. Once a session reaches capacity, it will no longer appear as an option on the registration form, and you will need to select another available session. We strongly encourage you to register early to ensure you are able to complete this requirement. Students will receive an email prior to their registered session confirming the training location.

Fall recruitment is an informal, chapter-led process. Chapters that choose to participate host their own recruitment events and work with the IFC Executive Board and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life to coordinate their recruitment and new member education processes.

Not all IFC chapters participate in fall recruitment or conduct a fall new member process. Students interested in exploring fall opportunities are encouraged to follow recognized chapters on social media, connect with chapter members at the Student Involvement Fair and attend other IFC- or chapter-sponsored events.

During the fall semester, the IFC Executive Board also hosts IFC 101 sessions for students interested in learning more about the fraternity community and the fall and spring joining processes.

Spring recruitment, also known as primary recruitment, is a semi-structured process.

The 1.5-to-2-week process includes council- and chapter-sponsored events and concludes with Bid Day. Following Bid Day, the Free Agency period opens, and eligible chapters have the autonomy to continue meeting interested students and extending invitations to membership, commonly known as bids.
