A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
A Welcome from the President:
Fraternity & Sorority Life at the University of South Florida has been an ever growing and continuously successful facet of our campus experience for over 50 years. In its tenure there have been countless accomplishments and opportunities for growth for those who spend their collegiate years finding themselves in pursuit of brotherhood. We are honored to call many of the University’s outstanding alumni members of the Interfraternity Council at USF, witnessing these men achieve personal pinnacles in all aspects of life. We continuously strive to provide an experience based on the values of our chapters by choosing to focus on the outward vision and future successes of the Greek Community.
Our purpose as a community is to create and perfect a truly unique and enriching experience. The Interfraternity Council aims to cultivate what it means to promote student success. This philosophy truly takes learning outside of the classroom and places it in the hands of like-minded men in pursuit of understanding social, personal, and professional excellence. Members of organizations within the council will be challenged in their friendships, work ethic, time management, public speaking, leadership, and everyday planning that will form them into gentlemen that will benefit every situation they find themselves in. Brotherhood is a bond, and with a bond, disappointment becomes greater. This means that disappointing your brothers carries a weight unique to its situation, and in turn, inspires one to always try his best. This is what brotherhood is all about: taking men from all different cultures, ideologies, and economic situations and coming together for a feeling, an event, a cause, or an act of kindness at any moment for the rest of their lives.
Each and every day we make strides towards defeating the stereotypes that surround our way of life. By continuously creating an atmosphere which breeds inclusivity, passion for change, a desire for success, and the aptitude for leadership there is no better place to spend your time as a young adult setting yourself up for a bright future. Within our community, we showcase a consistent academic success rate, commendable candidacy for post graduate employment, and most importantly — the benchmark for being an active model student at USF. Members of the IFC are more likely to graduate in four years, and hold an average GPA that is significantly higher than the all-male GPA of our institution. Our members participate in philanthropy, raising thousands of dollars every year for local and national causes. Ultimately, to call yourself a brother within the IFC is a privilege and opportunity which, most certainly, creates a better man.
With the great pleasure of serving as the President of the Interfraternity Council at the University of South Florida, I extend this invitation for you to find a home with one of these outstanding fraternities, giving you a lifelong support system and unique experiences that can’t be found anywhere else.
Fraternally yours,
Nathan Sagasser
Interfraternity Council President
