Being Jewish and being a Florida Gator are two characteristics with which I identify very strongly and will for the rest of my life. Therefore, it gives me great pleasure to have the honor and privilege to combine these two communities through the interactive and comprehensive programming that comprises Jewish Awareness Month 2006. JAM is an event with a history at UF of over ten years and my entire staff and I believe that this year’s will prove to be one of the best! The fact that the University of Florida boasts the largest Jewish student population of any university outside of the State of Israel is unfortunately a little-recognized fact. Realizing its breadth, I have always been active in the Jewish community at the University of Florida and after traveling to Israel on birthright during the summer of 2005 I became reinvigorated to contribute to the Jewish community at large.

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. Some fraternity brothers may also choose to live together in personal off-campus houses.
