Welcome Everyone

Since 1966 Greek Fraternities have been an invaluable asset to the Old Dominion Campus. Our 9 male chapters with over 300 men are recognized and governed by the Interfraternity Council and it is my pleasure to welcome you to our website on their behalf. Please take the time to explore and learn what makes the Old Dominion IFC one of the most successful Greek communities in Virginia. Please feel free to get in contact with me should you have any questions. As we enter the 2009 Fall semester I hope that all new members excel in all aspects of student life and take the first step in becoming a student leader and going Greek.

Thank you Monarchs, GO ODU GREEKS AND FOOTBALL!

Welcome Back!

Whether you're a returning Greek or prospective new member, IFC at Old Dominion is anxious to begin an exciting and productive Fall 09 semester and we're ready to welcome you back. Take a look at some of the pages to get a feel for what we have been up to, and don't forget to check back for updates!
