Albums Camera Roll Fraternity Recruitment Fall 2013 22 Photos Edit Letter from the IFC President & Vice President of Recruitment Dear Potential New Member, Congratulations on your decision to participate in the Interfraternity Council Recruitment process. You are currently starting a journey that thousands of Syracuse University men have gone through in the past and I hope that you too will make the decision to join fraternity life as they have. When deciding what advice to give you all as a group; we both thought about how we felt when we were standing where you are currently—it was a mix of fear, nervousness, and excitement. We both implore you to, during this process, come in with an open mind and judge fraternities on their specific tangible merits. We have no doubt in our minds that at least one of you will find a new home in a chapter that you had not previously considered. Making the choice to “Go Greek” was one of the best decisions of our lives. This is truly an exciting time and we wish you the best during this process. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to either of us. Marcelo P. Camacho President, Interfraternity Council Dominic A.
