FAQs

  • What are the Greek Housing options?

    UAB doesn't currently have Greek housing as an option on campus.

  • Are there accommodations for students with disabilities?

    Yes, if you need accommodations for the recruitment process, please email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

  • What are the fees and costs related to recruitment and membership?

    If one goes through the recruitment process and chooses to join a fraternity, he will pay a one-time new member fee of $30 due on bid day in order to receive his bid. IFC will accept only check or money orders made out to UAB IFC. If he does not receive a bid or chooses not to accept, he will not owe the fee. Anyone who accepts a bid after bid day or in the spring will also owe this one-time fee upon membership.

    Fraternity membership costs vary by chapter, but an average is 1200-1400 per year.
