Message from the President

Max Brown

Welcome to the Alabama Interfraternity Council! The Fraternity and Sorority community at The University of Alabama has a tradition rich in history and campus involvement. Since the founding of the University's first fraternity in 1847, the Greek community has flourished. Joining a fraternity means lifelong commitment and is a decision that you should not take lightly. With that lifelong commitment also comes lifelong relationships and benefits. Each fraternity offers a unique experience for you to grow as a leader in your scholarly and philanthropic endeavors. With roughly 4,000 members currently involved within thirty-six IFC fraternities on campus, our individual members, chapters, facilities, and charitable donations are among the most premier in the nation. I hope you are able to find your place in the Greek community here at UA.

Max Brown, 2025 IFC President

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.
