what is ifc formal recruitment?<br />
IFC formal recruitment is the organized period of time when general fraternities on this campus recruit new members. Official formal<br />
IFC recruitment lasts for 12 days, the last two of which are closed recruitment, where potential members attend only events they are<br />
specifically invited <strong>to</strong>. The day immediately following official recruitment is called bid extension day. This is the day when fraternities<br />
extend bids <strong>to</strong> individuals <strong>to</strong> join their organizations. This is followed by 48 hours of silence in which students make their decisions.<br />
After this is bid acceptance, when students inform the fraternity that they intend <strong>to</strong> affiliate with. This ends the official recruitment<br />
period for the fall.<br />
How do i register for formal recruitment?<br />
Visit the Interfraternity Council website at www.vtifc.com and fill out the registration information. Without this information, your registration<br />
is not complete, and you will not be allowed <strong>to</strong> join a fraternity through the Interfraternity Council.<br />
when is formal recruitment?<br />
You can find the dates for this year’s rush, as well as the dates for other fraternity and all-Greek events, on the Interfraternity Council<br />
calendar on the website (www.vtifc.com).<br />
what formal recruitment events are manda<strong>to</strong>ry?<br />
There are no manda<strong>to</strong>ry recruitment events. You may go <strong>to</strong> as many or as few as you want. All open events can be attended by anyone.<br />
Closed rush events are private and attended only by those students specifically invited.<br />
if i attend, do i have <strong>to</strong> affiliate and join?<br />
Absolutely not. The formal recruitment period is your time <strong>to</strong> see what chapters of our national fraternities are recognized on this campus,<br />
and it gives the fraternities a time <strong>to</strong> show interested students what they are all about. If you participate in this recruitment program, you<br />
are in no way obligated <strong>to</strong> affiliate with any fraternity, even if you receive an offer of membership from that chapter. However, if you want<br />
<strong>to</strong> join a fraternity, it is strongly recommended that you participate in the formal recruitment program.<br />
who should i contact for more information?<br />
Contact information for the direc<strong>to</strong>r of recruitment for IFC can be found at www.vtifc.com.<br />
