Recruitment
Recruitment is a time for potential new members to meet chapters and for chapter members to get to know potential new members in a relaxed setting. During this time potential new members should ask whatever questions feel pertinent, such as finance, scholarship, activities, housing, and time commitment. This is a time to find a chapter where you feel most comfortable and aligns with your personal values. We encourage you to check out as many chapters as possible. See below for a variety of events hosted by IFC and the chapters, to check out all of your options.
