Presidents Welcome

On behalf of the Purdue Interfraternity Council (IFC), I would like to welcome you to our Fraternity and Sorority Community. Many years have passed since Purdue's first fraternity was chartered in 1875, however the camaraderie and fraternal bonds created and shared by these organizations is still just as evident today as it was more than 130 years ago.

Our community operates under four simple ideals called our pillars: scholarship, leadership, service, and friendship, and each of these four ideals makes up the backbone of fraternity life at Purdue. We are students and our primary focus at Purdue is receiving a world-class education. We also provide a wealth of educational and leadership opportunities to develop skills necessary for success in future endeavors. We give back to the community through a multitude of philanthropic and service events. Finally, we establish a vast social network by introducing people of common ideals and values.

The decision to join a fraternity is a lifelong one, and with it will come lifelong benefits, all with the hopes of building better men, preparing them to be productive members of society and in the process creating friendships that will last a lifetime. With forty chapters and nearly 2,800 men residing under IFC's governance, Purdue features one of the largest fraternity communities in the country with endless opportunities available for all students. We encourage you to explore our website and please feel free to contact us with any questions which might arise.
