Welcome
The Pepperdine University Interfraternity Council exist to govern its member fraternities, promote fraternal values, and foster growth of fraternities at Pepperdine. The IFC serves and enhances the lives of fraternity men, all students, and the larger Pepperdine community. We believe that through promoting fraternal values we can better prepare Pepperdine men for the, “lives of purpose, service, and leadership,” called for us at Pepperdine University.
A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
As a representative of the five fraternity chapters that call Pepperdine University home and make up the Interfraternity Council, I would like to welcome you to our website.
Pepperdine University is a unique place in which students of all backgrounds can come together and grow intellectually and spiritually in the belief that these two aspects of life are inseparable. The Greek community at Pepperdine University is fairly young, but has enjoyed rapid success and growth thanks to the wonderful efforts of students and staff for over 25 years. Currently one in five Pepperdine men is a member of a fraternity. Routinely our chapters and their members make up the heart and soul of Pepperdine student life. Fraternity men frequently lead in academics, athletics, and spiritual life that has helped define life for students on our hillside treasure in Malibu.
We encourage all members and prospective members of the Pepperdine community to use our website and get to know what fraternity life is about. If you have any questions that this website fails to answer please contact me, the other Interfraternity Council members, Fraternity/Sorority Advisor, or the fraternity chapter presidents.
Sincerely,
Gabe Smedes
2024 Pepperdine Interfraternity Council President
