When I was an undergraduate at Kansas State University, I was a member
of the K-State Greek family, as were both of my children. I recommend that
each of you explore the opportunities that fraternity membership offers at our
university.
K-State has a proud Greek tradition. Year in and year out, K-State’s Greek
chapters thrive in Manhattan and make a difference in the community. Our
Greek organizations encourage leadership, academic excellence, service
and lifelong friendship among their members. Each year, our fraternities and
sororities contribute more than $200,000 to philanthropic organizations,
dedicate more than 30,000 hours of community service and donate
approximately 3 tons of food to national, regional and local charities.
As a new member of our university family, I hope that you will consider
Greek life as one of the many student organizations and organized living
options. The partnership between K-State and the Greek community is
something I am proud of and is a tradition worth considering.
Best Regards,
Pat J. Bosco, Ph.D.

The NIC is led by a board of directors comprised
of nine volunteers from member fraternities. The
headquarters and professional staff are located in
Indianapolis, Indiana.
Description from the North-American Interfraternity Conference
website.
interfraternity

The Interfraternity Council is the governing council
for the fraternities at K-State. The executive
board consists of seven members who lead
chapter officers in the areas of community
service and philanthropy, leadership
development, judicial affairs, public relations,
risk management and recruitment.
The mission of the K-State Interfraternity
Council is to promote a unified community by
serving and developing its member chapters. IFC
exists to preserve tradition while advancing
toward the future, fostering scholastic
achievement and connecting gentlemen in the
bond of interfraternal brotherhood. The board
will strive for excellence in the betterment of
our community, furthering upstanding ideals and
lifelong prosperity.
 What is Recruitment? 
Recruitment is the period of time an interested student spends learning about fraternity life
and individual chapters. This is an informal, chapter-driven process, meaning each fraternity
hosts events, sets timelines and works to recruit men to join their organization. Fraternities
recruit members to join either their fall or spring recruitment classes. There are certain
details associated with fraternities that you may have questions about. The following
information provides you with an overview about the recruitment process. For additional
information about recruitment, please contact the Office of Greek Affairs.
Tips for the fraternity
recruitment process
• Connect with people you already
know to learn more about fraternities
they are affiliated with and
organizations they feel may be a good
fit for you.
• Review chapter websites and social
media to learn more about fraternities.
Use this research to narrow down
which fraternities you would like
to take a closer look at during the
recruitment process.
• Be proactive in communication.
If you’re interested in a fraternity,
contact the recruitment chair to learn
more and get information about
upcoming events. When you receive an
email or voicemail, return it promptly.
• Remember this process is about
finding the best fit for YOU. Know what
you’re looking for, and ask questions to
make sure your needs are going to be
met by the fraternity you decide to join.
Recruitment Chairman
The recruitment chairman has been appointed or elected by his chapter to coordinate the
selection of new members for the fraternity. During his term, he may travel Kansas and the
surrounding states and organize various recruitment events.
A recruitment chairman spends a great deal of time contacting prospective members by
phone, email, social media or personal letter. You can be helpful to him by returning his
phone call if he should leave his number or by letting him know in advance if you plan on
dropping by the house during a campus visit, summer orientation, K-State Open House or
a recruitment event.
Costs
Being a part of any living organization – from residence halls to apartments – has
a cost, but at K-State, the average cost of living in a Greek chapter is comparable
to the average cost of living in the residence halls. For more information about
fraternity and sorority costs, visit our website, k-state.edu/greek.
Questions to ask a
recruitment chairman
• How much emphasis does your fraternity put on academics?
• What is the required GPA for joining? For initiation? To remain in
good standing?
• What is your chapter’s philanthropy event? What organization does it
benefit?
• What are the leadership opportunities within the chapter for both new and active members?
• Besides the fraternity, what
activities are members involved in on
campus and in the community?
 How to Join a Fraternity 
Joining a fraternity is a mutual selection process. As there is no formal recruitment week
for men at K-State, fraternities proactively recruit year-round. They take pride in their
one-on-one approach with you, a prospective member.
• What are the financial obligations
ofmembership? What do these fees
cover?
• What are the required activities, and how much time is involved?
• What advantages are there for me to
live in the chapter house during my first
year?
Recruitment events and functions begin in the late fall semester and continue through the
spring semester and summer months until the recruitment chairmen have achieved the
recruitment goals the individual fraternity has set. You can contact individual fraternity
recruitment chairmen to learn more about events. This contact information is on the Greek
Affairs website.
• Do you offer alcohol-free housing?
It is never too late to start looking into the options and benefits a fraternity experience
can provide you. Many men join in the summer after attending some of the recruitment
events of various fraternities. It’s important to get to know the fraternities’ members and
for them to get to know you before making a decision.
• What are experiences I will get as a member of your fraternity that I won’t find somewhere else?
Once you have decided to join, the recruitment chairman may ask for your help in
recruiting others into the fraternity. Feel free to call him if you know others who are
planning to attend K-State.
Recruitment Registration
To participate in recruitment, you may register online at k-state.edu/greek. You will need
the following items to successfully complete your registration: GPA, list of community
and high school activities, leadership, awards, emergency contact information, legacy
information and your Wildcat ID number. Registering in the database will let all fraternities
know you are interested in joining.
Sophomore/Upperclassmen Recruitment
Many fraternities will also pledge sophomores and upperclassmen. The best way to look at
fraternities is to contact recruitment chairmen and go to the recruitment events.
• How has your experience in this fraternity helped you grow during your
time at K-State?
• What does brotherhood mean to you and your chapter?
More than 20% of the undergraduate student body is Greek.
Largest IFC chapter: 122 members
Smallest IFC chapter: 12 members
Average IFC chapter size: 71 members
IFC fraternities with a chapter house: 20
Scholarship
The K-State Greek community takes pride in academics. Having consistently
earned a community GPA above the all-university GPA, fraternity men value the
essentials of good scholarship.
Leadership
Apart from holding leadership positions within their chapters, many members
hold leadership positions on campus as well. Involvement in clubs and
organizations has always been a key component of Greek life at K-State.
Service and Philanthropy
At the core of many fraternities is community service and philanthropy.
Annually, K-State Greek students have a huge impact on campus, Manhattan,
our state and even our nation. Many of the national fraternities have partnered
with a nonprofit organization for philanthropic opportunities. In addition, each
local chapter finds projects toward which they may assist the community
through service.
Brotherhood
As a natural part of being Greek, the bonds developed between members are
more than just lifelong friendships. Challenges and celebrations during college
are met with support by each chapter. That sense of brotherhood is nurtured
through shared leadership, community service projects, intramurals and the
rewards and challenges of involvement with a self-governing body of men.
Educational Programming
When you initially join your fraternity, you will be considered a new member.
This is a period of education designed to acclimate you with your new
fraternity, as well as the history and traditions of the organization. New
member education can include programs such as leadership retreats,
community service projects, weekly meetings and activities designed to build
friendships among members of the organization.
 Social Activities 
Every K-State fraternity offers a healthy balance of social activities that focus on
brotherhood, friendship, tradition and fun. Individual chapters organize date
parties, formals, dual-chapter functions, dinner exchanges, parents’ weekends and
membership retreats. They also compete in intramural sports, participate in campus
life activities and attend K-State athletic events together.
 Intramurals 
Intramurals provide members of the K-State community the opportunity to participate
in a sport they enjoyed in high school or learn new sports. Chapters typically have teams
that compete against other chapter teams. In addition to intramurals, the Chester E.
Peters Recreation Complex offers several other fitness-related options to stay in shape.
 Homecoming 
Composed of campuswide activities, Homecoming promotes spirit and enthusiasm
among the students and alumni of K-State. The week sponsored by the K-State Alumni
Association consists of fraternities, sororities, residence halls and student organizations
pairing up and competing in a variety of events such as Paint the ‘Ville, WRL (Wildcat
Request Live) and the Float Competition/Parade. Groups also come together in the alluniversity philanthropy to show their support for the community. The week ends with a
celebration of Wildcat pride at the pep rally on Friday.
 Greek Week 
Greek Week is a week during the spring semester dedicated to recognizing fraternity
and sorority life at K-State. With a variety of activities, Greek Week promotes community
and is a great way for chapters to reach out to the K-State community.
 Social Responsibility Policy 
The Social Responsibility Policy establishes guidelines for creating safe and fun
environments for social events. With this policy, members and guests are empowered
to hold themselves and each other accountable for their actions and choices. This
policy outlines that all fraternity/sorority events must be in compliance with applicable
laws of the state, county, city and Kansas State University. All social events with
alcohol are registered with the Interfraternity Council. The responsibility policy details
risk management regulations and logistics that each event must have to ensure
attendees are able to enjoy themselves and feel safe at all events.
 Anti-Hazing Summary/Policy 
The Interfraternity Council has adopted an Anti-Hazing Policy as a guideline for all
pledging and membership programs. Hazing in any form is absolutely forbidden.
Hazing is defined as any instance of physical abuse, psychological abuse or improper
obligations, requirements or time restrictions associated with or involving new members
or their activities. In addition, the IFC Human Rights Code prohibits any form of racial,
ethnic and sexual orientation discrimination and sexual harassment.
Copies of these policies are available at k-state.edu/greek or the Office of Greek Affairs.
