The Interfraternity Council is chiefly responsible for ensuring the performance of its chapters with regard to the pillars of scholarship, leadership, service, and community. The IFC is also charged with organizing specific events including fall and spring recruitment weeks, new member orientation, and other social and educational programs.

LEARN MORE AT UFIFC.ORG WHAT HAPPENS ONCE I JOIN A FRATERNITY? After joining a fraternity you will enter into an educational new member program for up to 8 weeks. Programming differs from each chapter, as each fraternity has their own events and rituals. During this time, you will be educated in the Greek ideals of the chapter and community, while building a strong bond with the members of your new fraternity. Make sure to ask about the programs you will go through as a new member. WHAT TYPE OF LIVING ACCOMMODATIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO ME IF I JOIN AN IFC FRATERNITY? IFC fraternity chapters at UF have a wide variety of housing options. Some chapters have official chapter houses on- and off-campus in a variety of locations within the university context area.

  • Queers on Campus: Lgbtq Student Visibility at Three Public Universities in Florida, 1970-1985
    QUEERS ON CAMPUS: LGBTQ STUDENT VISIBILITY AT THREE PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN FLORIDA, 1970-1985 By JESSICA CLAWSON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2014 © 2014 Jessica Clawson 2 To all of the heroes who have liberated spaces for LGBTQ people 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I could not have written this dissertation without the help of a large number of people. First, I thank my adviser, Sevan Terzian, without whose superb mentorship I would not know how to write, let alone how to navigate academia thoughtfully. My wonderful committee members Dorene Ross, Elizabeth Bondy, William Link, and Paul Ortiz were all instrumental in this process and in my graduate school career. I have learned so much from all of them about how to live in academia and the world. I will also be forever grateful to the fabulous education department at Denison University, who gave me the energy and inspiration to do good work in the final phases of this writing. Emily Nemeth, Jerrell Beckham, Suzanne Baker, and Karen Graves know how to make working in academia an absolute delight. I will remember my time at Denison with fondness. My queer academic family has been so helpful in their advice and support. First, were it not for Roland Sintos Coloma, I would not have known where to begin or even been sure I had anything to say. Roland knew when I needed to be pushed and when I needed space to figure myself out.

  • A Decade of Performance at the University of Florida
    A DECADE OF PERFORMANCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1990-1999 he Campaign for the University of Florida — It’s Performance That Counts – manifests a design for the university’s future that builds upon the remarkable Tachievements of past generations. Nothing speaks to the message of this campaign more clearly than the university’s performance during the last decade. This campaign works to translate those accomplishments into a self-sustaining university, where performance and productivity become part of the institutional culture. It rests upon strategic campaign goals amounting to $750 million that target important areas of the UF mission. In these areas, timely investments of private support will leverage exceptional performance for the 21st century. Launched in 1996, the campaign already is producing impressive returns on the investments of the university’s alumni and friends. Campaign support has enhanced the quality and productivity of the faculty. It has increased financial aid and post- baccalaureate opportunities for students. Campaign donors have improved the facilities, technology and equipment that sustain world-class research and teaching. In fact, because of the generous campaign support so far, the campaign has been able to add important new initiatives in genetics, graduate studies and technology.
