Winter 2025 Recruitment Information & Links
​​
Welcome to the Interfraternity Council’s (IFC) Winter 2025 Recruitment! We are excited for you to take the first step of joining our community.
​
Below is the Registration Form & Instructions for Payment ($43):
​
​
You will receive a confirmation email thereafter certificating your registration. The payment of $43 is MANDATORY to complete the registration process. You will not be considered registered for rush until the payment is received.
​
After you sign up, you will become prospective new members (PNMs), and will have embarked on your journey of finding your group of brothers. If a chapter believes you belong in their fraternity, you will be extended a bid (a formal invitation to join a fraternity).
​
The official IFC rush period will be from January 6th-8th, during Week 1 of Winter Quarter!
​
Jan. 6th Rush: Orientation & First Day of Official Rush
What: IFC will outline the rush process in person and highlight the many valuable aspects of joining a fraternity at UCLA. Prospective New Members will participate in “Meet the Greeks,” where students will be given a chance to meet a few brothers from each chapter. After, students will be allowed to begin visiting houses.

​
Jan. 7th Rush: Continue to Meet the Chapters

When: 5:00pm-9:00pm.
​
*Please note that bids can begin being extended on this day*
​
Jan. 8th Rush: Final Day

Where: Verify your acceptance at the IFC tent at Strathmore/Gayley.
When: 5:00pm-9:00pm.
​
What happens after you are extended a bid?
You have three options when you receive a bid:
1) Accept the bid, become a new member of the fraternity, and assist your chapter with the rest of the rush process to build your new class!
2) Hold the bid and take more time to decide whether or not to join the chapter. 3) Reject the bid.
​
*You may not accept more than one bid. Doing so may disqualify you from recruitment.*
​
We wish you all the best of luck in recruitment!
