Initiation:
A ceremony during which new members receive
lifelong membership privileges into the organization of which
they have chosen to be a part.
Intake:
Term for the process by which Multicultural Greek
Council and National Pan-Hellenic Council members are
selected to become new members of an organization. This is
generally much more secretive than recruitment or rush for
CPA or IFC members, but generally includes an application
and an interview process followed by an educational program
done at the regional level conducted by alumni and then an
initiation (generally known as “crossing”).
Interest:
A way to refer to someone who is interested in
joining a FSL organization.
Interest Group:
A group of individuals on campus in the
first stage of the process leading to installation as a FSL
organization.
Interfraternity Council (IFC):
The governing body for
the 22 IFC Fraternities. These fraternities were founded
as historically white men’s fraternities at Clemson. IFC
fraternities are open to all men interested in joining provided
they meet the membership requirements of the organization;
however, interest alone does not guarantee a man will receive
an offer to join. IFC strives to provide communication between
the fraternal organizations and connects organizations to the
local and university community.
