In the last five years, Phi Delta Theta, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Kappa Psi and Phi Gamma Delta have been suspended by the IFC and their national organizations, which means they aren’t recognized as an official chapter on campus.

The most notable reasons for this drop in IFC membership include fewer chapters on campus due to disciplinary reasons, member retention issues within chapters and a changing student demographic, Director of Greek Life Kristin Torrey said. The number of new IFC recruits for the 2019-20 school year hovers at 291, consistent with the typical number of new recruits of around 280 students over the last four years, a drop from the 2015-16 school year at 398 students. This is the report that Vanderbilt’s Office of Greek Life (OGL) releases every semester regarding the number of members, new recruits and GPAs of the fraternities and sororities in the Interfraternity Council (IFC), National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) and Panhellenic Council.

Vanderbilt’s Interfraternity Council membership has decreased 37 percent from 854 members in 2015 ’s fall semester to 528 in 2019 ’s fall semester, according to the Office of Greek Life’s Semester Academic & Membership Size Rankings.
