IFC Fraternity Recruitment

Academic Requirements

Conduct Requirement

In 2018, the Interfraternity Council adopted conduct standards for students to receive a bid for membership from an IFC fraternity. The IFC Constitution and By-laws states:“Undergraduate men are ineligible to pledge a fraternity if they are currently on disciplinary probation or deferred suspension status or if they have a case pending involving possible violation of the Sexual Misconduct Policy or another serious student conduct matter. Additionally, any previously issued disciplinary suspension shall deem the student ineligible to pledge a fraternity. By submitting a recruitment registration, the potential member is consenting to a search of university records by Community Values & Restorative Practices and to their disclosure of any potential members who have a disqualifying record.

During the recruitment registration period, undergraduate men will be afforded the opportunity to self-disclose any conduct history while attending William & Mary or previous institution in the case of a transfer student. In addition, students will be asked to consent to a review of their William & Mary Conduct Record in order to determine eligibility. The details of the record WILL NOT be released to anyone beyond Community Values & Restorative Practices. The only information that will be communicated to chapters is if the potential new member meets or does not meet the eligibility standard above. In such a case, chapters may not pledge the prospective member until his petition is accepted and the chapter is notified. Petitions may be received in two manners:

• For potential members extended bids AFTER signing day, the petition should be received as soon as possible, up until four weeks before the IFC Initiation Deadline.
