Why IFC?

IFC’s focus is to develop members personally, socially and professionally. Although social life is an aspect of fraternity life, it is only a fraction of what fraternity men actually stand for. Below are a few of the values emphasized by our member chapters. Sign up here

Leadership

IFC students take pride in their activity on campus and their involvement in not only the IFC community, but the the overall student community as well. IFC offers many different leadership opportunities in their respective chapters and larger scale community positions. Examples of this are chapter executive boards, IFC/Panhellenic executive boards, and various different internship positions.

Scholarship

IFC students take pride in scholastic success. Many IFC chapters boast an average GPA higher than that of the average UCI student. We take pride in our academic initiatives. Individual chapters have their own GPA requirements and also set up study rooms for their members, specifically during finals and midterms. Our Vice President of Scholarship sets up study rooms for greeks to use throughout the quarter. Joining an IFC organization allows for students to connect with a vast alumni base, setting themselves up for a professional job in the future. A recent national study indicates that fraternity and sorority members are 28% more likely to graduate than their non-IFC peers. 

Service

Every IFC organization on campus conducts an annual philanthropy where they raise money for a charity of their choice. In the past, organizations have raised money for American Heart Association, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Service for Sight, the Make a Wish Foundation, and many more. Additionally, IFC and Panhellenic put together a joint fundraiser for a charity of their choice. Overall, IFC takes pride in its community and strive to help it with these philanthropic events. Last year, IFC raised over $125,000 for various charities.
