Interfraternity Council

The purpose of the Saint Louis University Interfraternity Council is to encourage members to learn and grow through brotherhood and shared values.

Launch SlideshowAcademics are an important part of the fraternity/sorority experience. Interfraternity Council members hold an average 3.41 GPA, which is higher than the all-male GPA on SLU's campus.

SLU is the proud home of eight Interfraternity Council fraternities, which have the support of alumni in St. Louis and around the country. Our oldest chapter has been chartered at SLU since 1927, giving our fraternal community a long-standing history on campus. Each fraternity brings something unique to the community.

We welcome you to explore our organizations. Whether you are looking for involvement in an intramural team, a cheering section at Billiken athletic events, a study group at Pius Library, a service trip with Women's Safe House or a group to relax with on a Saturday night, you can find it in an IFC Fraternity.
