Bid Extension

On this day, Fraternities will be extending invitations to join their chapter between the hours of 6 pm ‑ Midnight. Each fraternity will give instructions on how they will be extending bids. Please be aware, no fraternity should be asking you to accept or decline a bid on the spot, nor should they do anything that would prevent another fraternity from extending a bid to you.
Bid Acceptance Ceremonies
Friday, September 17, 2021
Bid acceptance ceremonies mark the beginning of new member education and will take place after 6:00 pm. Chapters will notify you of the ceremony’s location and time when they extend a bid to join. We will update all chapters and Potential New Members on any policies or procedures that must be followed for the Fall 2021 Semester
Warning: Unrecognized Organizations
Unrecognized organizations are former fraternities or sororities that have lost their recognition from both James Madison University and their national headquarters due to disciplinary action. Unrecognized organizations are not advised by the university, are unable to use campus resources, and are prohibited from participating in Fraternity and Sorority Life events. These organizations usually are not recognized by an Inter/National headquarters and do not follow the same standards and policies our recognized fraternities are held to.

Disclaimer
All chapters are expected to follow JMU’s and Virginia’s COVID-19 guidelines. Please be aware, all of the events for IFC recruitment are subject to change.
