Interfraternity Council (IFC)
Finding your place at the University of Rochester is easier with a brotherhood that has your back. Joining an IFC fraternity provides a network that will support you through challenges, celebrate your wins, and everything in between. Fraternities at URochester meet you where you are, respect what you stand for, and challenge you to grow into the leader you want to be.
Being a part of IFC means joining a community built around leadership, academics, and making a real impact on campus, in Rochester, and beyond. You will build lifelong friendships, develop skills that carry into any career, and gain access to a network of alumni ready to support you with guidance and opportunities.
The following fraternities at the University are members of the IFC:
- Alpha Delta Phi (ΑΔΦ)
- Alpha Epsilon Pi (ΑΕΠ)
- Chi Phi (ΧΦ)
- Delta Upsilon (ΔΥ)

How to join
IFC chapters host recruitment or “rush” events in the first few weeks of school each semester. Chapters begin with open recruitment events followed by closed, invitation-only events. There is a set date that bids are able to be extended, followed by a 72-hour waiting period for potential members to decide which bid they want to accept. Potential members should attend at least one event per chapter to familiarize themselves with all of the options available.
