Interfraternity Council
The Interfraternity Council is the governing body of the North American Interfraternity Conference at UTEP. UTEP hosts five Interfraternity Chapters out of the total 66 National Fraternities. Founded in 1909, IFC serves to enrich the fraternity experience, advance and grow the fraternity community, and enhance the educational experience of fraternity members.
Recruitment
During the Fall and Spring semesters, IFC chapters host recruitment events throughout the entirety of the semester. Recruitment is a mutual selection process that allows for potential new members and chapters to find the best organizational fit.
Students interested in joining an Interfraternity Council (IFC) fraternity can do so by participating in the IFC’s formal recruitment process. This is a process in which there are certain events planned and executed by the Interfraternity Council that give Potential New Members (PNM’s) the opportunity to meet fraternity members. PNM’s are encouraged to attend all events during this time period.
This year, the formal recruitment period will take place from September 23rd – 27th.

Many of our members join through the formal recruitment process. However, chapters are open to receive new members all throughout the year. Anytime is the right time to join an IFC Fraternity.

FAQ
How much time will I be expected to commit to a fraternity?
Being in a fraternity could devote anywhere from 2-8 hours a week depending on the season. All fraternities have a weekly meeting and throughout the semester chapters will host brotherhood events, philanthropy, and recruitment events. These could take more time but remember a fraternity is only as fun as you make it. Ask individual chapter members about their experience with the time commitment.
Am I the “Fraternity Type”?
There is no “fraternity type”. A fraternity is a group of diverse men who want to grow alongside one another through their college years. All members differ from chapter to chapter and individuality is praised in the FSL community as a whole. Going in with an open mind will help you find the right place for you.
