Dear Parents,

There are many new opportunities your son will be exposed to once he moves into Bloomington for his freshmen year at Indiana University.  Each of these offers an experience from which your son can grow and learn something outside of his regular school curriculum.  All of these have their individual benefits, but none offers the same substantial and wide-ranging experience as becoming part of the Greek Community.  There is no better way to develop your son's character than by becoming a Greek man.

Please take time to view this website and encourage your son to do the same.  Information on each fraternity chapter and the Greek System are thoroughly depicted throughout this site.

There are currently 28 fraternity organizations recognized by IFC on the Bloomington campus.  Each chapter provides you with the opportunity to be involved in a brotherhood nationally or even internationally.  Although each chapter is unique from all the others with certain creeds and standards, all 28 have many similar goals and experiences to offer.  Belonging to a Greek organization helps a young man develop a sense of belonging and fellowship in a college environment and to jump-start his success after college. It also encourages him to broaden his college experiences through leadership programming, intramural sports, academic support, inter-Greek events, philanthropic opportunities, and social events too.  These opportunities are unmatched by any other undergraduate activity.

By entering into our Greek Community, your son will be offered more opportunities to reach his full potential than anywhere else on Indiana University's campus.  This Greek Community is tailored towards helping young men develop solid character and integrity through the experiences IU offers while learning to become a leader in both the University and Bloomington community.  Not only will he benefit from his Greek affiliation after college, but he will also gain a sense of community and family during his transition from home to college. Currently, the Greek community is proud to be home to the current Indiana University Student Association President, Indiana University Student Foundation President, Board of Aeons President, Indiana University Dance Marathon President, and the Student Recreational Sports Association President. However, these examples of leadership from within the Greek community on Indiana's campus expose only a glimpse of the role that the fraternity system plays in leadership development.

We hope that this site helps in you and your son's efforts to find the ideal experience for him while in Bloomington.  He will not find a more rewarding organization to join than a fraternity at Indiana University.  If you have any questions about the IU Fraternity System please visit the 'Contact Us' page.

Sincerely,

The Interfraternity Council Executive Board
