Spring 2010 IFC Recruitment Policies

The Interfraternity Council sets the policy and schedule for all IFC Fraternity Recruitment.

POTENTIAL NEW MEMBER POLICIES

1)    Potential New Members must have a 2.5 cumulative grade point average (GPA) to participate in     Recruitment.  Incoming students with no established cumulative GPA are exempt from this policy.

2)     Potential New Members must be registered to participate in Recruitment through the ICS Website.

3)    Registered Potential New Members must attend one (1) of the Recruitment Information Sessions to receive a Spring 2010 IFC Recruitment Wristband.  Potential New Members who attend a Recruitment Information Session without having registered will not be eligible to receive a Recruitment Wristband after the completion of that session.

    a.    If a Spring 2010 IFC Recruitment Wristband is broken, Potential New Members can obtain a new wristband at the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life by re-registering for recruitment (including repaying the fee) and returning the broken wristband. If a Potential New Member loses his wristband and does not re-register before February 8, 2010 at 11:59 PM, under no circumstances will he be permitted to re-register.

4)    The IFC Recruitment Wristband does not give any Potential New Member permission to consume alcoholic beverages at fraternity houses! The purpose of the wristbands are to allow Potential New Members to distinguish themselves as being interested in joining a fraternity, not to gain illegal access to alcohol.

5)     Any Potential New Member who violates any University or IFC policy—as well as any state, local, or Federal laws—as a result of their involvement in Spring 2010 IFC Recruitment will be ineligible for IFC Fraternity membership until the Fall 2010 semester.

6)    Potential New Members may not accept any invitation to join any IFC Fraternity prior to Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 8:00 PM.  Potential New Members must inform their chosen Fraternity that they are accepting the invitation to join by Thursday, February 11, 2010 at 11:59 PM. In addition, in order to officially accept his bid, a Potential New Member must come to 218 HUB with his Penn State student ID, the bid which he intends to accept, and his IFC Recruitment wristband still attached to his wrist  between 10:00 AM and 10:00 PM on Thursday, and between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM on Friday.
