I'm kind of a loser, so I decided to take a break from studying for my final today and give my take on what the rankings currently are, why they're that way, and where houses seem to be trending. As a general note, while I was affiliated with a fraternity here (kicked off - take a guess) I will actually try to remain unbiased. I could name my fraternity, but I doubt they'd want to be directly associated with this. Plus, every frat ranking on here is a self rank anyway as I doubt that the "unbiased GDIs and girls" who claim to write these things actually ever do so. You're welcome to disagree with any of my points, but at least be honest (which I understand is a lot to ask on this site) as people usually know which takes are garbage anyway and can see through most of the BS on this site. Top Tier 1. DKE(Trending Up): This is honestly probably the first time in Vanderbilt history that there's no really clear #1 in the sense of a fraternity succeeding in all or most aspects. DKE does, however, seem to be the best in an IFC scarred by constant cycles of suspension and recolonization. While some people thought that the combination of Pi and SAE was either going to be completely dominant or a failure at the beginning of the year, the reality has proven to be somewhere in the middle. While there certainly is some beef among the former Pi and SAE kids, for the most part they've been able to make it work for the sake of being able to continue being on-campus members of greek life at Vanderbilt. You do have to feel bad for the 3rd group of North 5 kids who are pretty much members of this fraternity in name only and are constantly excluded from events and fraternity decisions (they use a seperate gc without them - some brotherhood they have here). These guys went with Kappa to homecoming and regularly mix with other top sororities (and KD), consistently throw good and exclusive parties, and recruited what looks to be one of the better classes of freshmen having lost almost no one and poached some from almost every fraternity including KSig, Sig Chi, SNu, and ZBT - oddly enough not KA as far as I know, but that makes sense given that they're very different fits. These guys tend to be a unique mix of wealthy Southern gentleman (SAE) and kind-of-douchey rich New Yorkers (Pi). For these reasons, these guys are currently #1. Also, while there are still some tensions here, things should stabilize next semester when they induct their first unified pc, move into their new house (if it's finished by then - we'll see), and integrate more as older Pis and SAEs go abroad or approach graduation. DKE is now almost a semester old and the worst seems to have been put behind them. As weird as it is to be trending up from #1, the challenges these guys have had in making this work really are behind them and their only real competition (KSig and Sig Chi) have kind of shot themselves in the foot. This one will be the longest, there's just always a lot to cover with DKE. Speaking of... (continued in comments)
