Important Reminders:
- Be sure to check in at each chapter you visit.
- There should be no alcohol at any chapter event throughout the week.
- Dress code is comfortable yet presentable. Formal dress is not needed unless you are invited to a specific event hat necessitates it.
- Bids can be given at any time during recruitment week and each chapter determines the time frame for which fraternity bids are outstanding. You can accept the bid (by informing the chapter you are accepting, you are ending your recruitment process and joining a particular fraternity), hold a bid (can visit other chapters and think over your decision), or decline a bid (you should only decline if you are 100% sure that the fraternity is not right for you. Please be respectful and contact the fraternity that extended the bid and inform them of your decision).
Meal Plans:
Meal Plans: IFC Fraternities that have a meal plan will require those who join to buy that meal plan. If you join one of these chapters and wish to cancel your UF meal plan, you can do so only before Thursday, September 5, 2024 at 5pm. If you wish to downgrade or upgrade your UF meal plan, there is no restriction on when that can be done. A two-semester commitment is required on whatever plan they choose.
