Recruitment
Welcome to the first step of your journey toward becoming an active member of an IFC chapter here at San Diego State University. Recruitment is a mutually beneficial process through which members find a chapter to call home on campus, and our IFC chapter community becomes reinvigorated with new members who bring their own unique ideas and experiences. SDSU holds two primary recruitment periods, both in the Fall and in the Spring, but chapters are able to bid members outside of these periods, if desired.
Requirements to join an IFC Member Chapter
