CU Interfraternity Council Recruitment
CUIFC chapters recruit new members during both the fall and spring semesters. Fall is the primary time for recruitment, with chapters following a structured process. Recruitment in the spring is still structured but informal. Chapters may participate in 365 recruitment by recruiting and extending bids for membership at any time outside of the fall recruitment cycle.
Fall Recruitment
Fall is the primary recruitment period. Specific dates are shared over the summer, and before the start of the fall semester. Potential new members will need to sign up via a registration form and pay a recruitment fee.
After a recruitment kickoff event, open house rounds will occur during the first two weeks. Any potential new member can attend any chapter's events. Some chapter events might overlap with each other, but most chapters have multiple events throughout the open house period. After the open house period, each chapter has a designated night and time for the invite-only round. Chapters will send out invites to select potential new members to attend these events. After invite-only rounds conclude for the whole community, bids can be extended. CUIFC welcomes new members with a Bid Day celebration.
