The Interfraternity Council (IFC) serves as the governing body for our three North-American Interfraternity Council (NIC) organizations, Delta Tau Delta, Phi Delta Theta, and Phi Lambda Chi. IFC is comprised of a five-member executive board and delegates from each fraternity. The purpose is to uphold fraternity morals and standards while facilitating good relations between each organization and our campus community. IFC also works closely with Lindenwood's Panhellenic Association (PHA) to improve the Fraternity and Sorority Life community on campus. Further, IFC strives to foster purposeful relationships with the larger community by continuing a strong tradition of leadership, education, community service, and brotherhood. All three fraternities are housed in Niccolls Hall, in which each chapter has a designated wing and private chapter rooms.
Through our affiliation with NIC, we are able to properly uphold the NIC's ideals to advocate, collaborate, and innovate. For more information, please contact the Interfraternity Council President or the Program Manager, Fraternity and Sorority Life.

Recruitment
Fraternity Life at Lindenwood
Fraternity life offers a vibrant community where students can build lasting brotherhoods, develop essential personal and professional skills, and contribute to the broader community. Joining a fraternity provides numerous benefits, including academic support, leadership opportunities, and a strong network of alumni that can be invaluable throughout your career. Our fraternity members are the most involved men on campus, complete the most service hours, have a strong interfraternal brotherhood, and strongly prioritize their philanthropic efforts.
Formal Fraternity Recruitment
Formal Fraternity Recruitment is a weeklong experience where students can learn about the various fraternities, meet active members, and determine if fraternity life is a good fit. This process allows you to explore the unique values and cultures of each fraternity, helping you find the one that aligns best with your personal goals and interests. The Interfraternity Council (IFC) will host an Orientation and an Open House so all interested students can learn about their fraternity options and see the fraternity spaces in an unbiased environment. Our recruitment takes place on and off campus, but all events are completely free to interested students, and transportation is provided.
Recruitment Schedule
Formal Fraternity Recruitment takes place every fall semester within the first three weeks of classes. In addition to the fall recruitment, fraternities are continuously open during the spring semester. The fraternities may have similar events as the fall semester or choose a more informal recruitment method. The IFC will also host their own recruitment informational for any interested student to learn more about fraternity life.
Get Involved

Phi Delta Theta
Robert Morrison, one of Phi Delta Theta’s most influential founders, stated, “to do what ought to be done but would not have been done unless I did it, I thought to be my duty.” Robert Morrison’s philosophy has inspired countless famous Phis, such as Neil Armstrong, to quite literally “shoot for the moon.” Phi Delta Theta-Missouri Iota at Lindenwood University has continued their founders’ mission as they seek to make a difference as fraternity men and leaders on campus.
Phi Delta Theta-Missouri Iota and their proud members have exemplified their three cardinal principles of friendship, sound learning, and rectitude. Outside of the fraternity, the brothers of Phi Delta Theta-Missouri Iota have remained to be among the most accomplished leaders at Lindenwood University as they have been a part of the national championship shotgun team, on Lindenwood Student Government, and student ambassadors, to name a few.
Phi Delta Theta-Missouri Iota is searching for gentlemen who are devoted to upholding the honor and dignity of Phi Delta Theta as they strive to become the greatest version of themselves. There is not a better time to join one of the most distinguished fraternities as the brothers of Phi Delta Theta-Missouri Iota are not only redefining Greek Life, but engaging themselves in a history that will never be forgotten by those who decide to live the respectable life of a Phi.
The brothers of Phi Delta Theta-Missouri Iota look forward to growing with you as we strive to transmit both this Fraternity and Lindenwood University greater than it was transmitted to the men of Phi Delta Theta.
