I. What is Interfraternity Council?
The Interfraternity Council (IFC) is the programming and governing body of the 8 fraternities at Chapman University. The
council is composed of an executive board consisting of 6 Greek community members,
a graduate advisor, and a delegate from each chapter.

• Bid - an invitation to join a fraternity• Chapter - a branch of a national fraternity, established at a
campus• Dry Rush - the expectation that, during the recruitment
period, no fraternities will use alcohol as a recruiting tool• Dirty Rushing - when one organization will attempt to
influence a PNM through gifts, threats, badmouthing other organizations, etc.
• Legacy - the son, daughter, brother or sister of an initiated or alumn member

IV. IFC Rush Kick-OffFollowing the semi-formal recruitment structure, IFC hosts at
least one rush event throughout the rush period.
Every semester, recruitment begins with an IFC-hosted event on Memorial Lawn. The lawn event takes place directly after
an informational presentation and eight rotations of fraternity presentations. The kick-off event gives potential new
members the opportunity to meet all chapters in one place.
