The Interfraternity Council (IFC) serves as the coordinating body of the 34 fraternities at the University of Alabama. For more than 150 years University of Alabama fraternities have excelled in academics, leadership, and service.
Message from the President
Welcome to the Alabama Interfraternity Council! The Fraternity and Sorority community at The University of Alabama is rooted in a tradition rich in history, leadership and campus involvement. Since the founding of the University’s first fraternity in 1847, fraternity life at Alabama has continued to grow and evolve, shaping generations of student leaders and alumni.
The Alabama Interfraternity Council serves as the governing body for 34 recognized fraternities, representing more than 4,200 men on our campus. Joining a fraternity is a lifelong commitment and an important decision—one that extends far beyond a student’s time at the University. That commitment fosters lifelong relationships, personal growth and opportunities for leadership, service and academic excellence.
Each IFC fraternity offers a unique experience, allowing members to develop as scholars, leaders and active contributors to both the University and the surrounding community. Collectively, our chapters, members, facilities and philanthropic efforts rank among the most distinguished fraternity communities in the nation.
On behalf of the Alabama Interfraternity Council, I encourage you to explore what fraternity life at The University of Alabama has to offer and hope you find your place within our community.
Jack Hastings, 2026 IFC President

Project Thrive
Our members’ wellbeing is a top priority. Project Thrive is a support initiative to ensure our members have access to the resources necessary to combat mental health concerns and substance abuse. The form below will confidentially send your information to Project Thrive. The University of Alabama IFC will financially support students seeking these resources for up to three sessions.
Additionally, The University of Alabama IFC has ensured that each of its 35 Fraternities has a Project Thrive Ambassador who is trained and certified through the Question, Persuade, and Refer (QPR) program. QPR’s mission is to save lives and reduce suicidal behaviors by providing innovative, practical and proven suicide prevention training. Quality education empowers all people, regardless of their background, to make a positive difference in the life of someone they know.
This is a first step to supporting mental health and combatting substance abuse, and we will continue to roll out more resources in the future. We hope that all members of our community will consider utilizing Project Thrive to foster holistic well-being.
