why do everyone act like pike are gods

by: incoming freshman

Why is pike such a big deal? I get the house and stuff but everyone makes them out to be gods. Even people in other states and schools all are familiar with the pike chapter at FSU and regard them as legends in the greek world. Whats up with that?

Pike is a relentless self promoter. They've got a great website, an impressive magazine, they're the largest and they recruit big name athletes and student leaders.
The truth is that their members aren't that much better or different than anyone else's. And the truth is that any fraternity could do what the Pikes do, but no one does.

I do agree that they self promote, however i dont necessarily think any fraternity could do what the pikes do. Theres a variety of variables that contribute to the image pike has garnered as " legends" like extreme wealth, connections,involvement, the mansion and looks. I dont think that its easy to create such a strong reputation without alto of work and time. I also think there are definitely some fraternities who try to do what pike does but dont really pull it off. idk, its one of those things based off perspective. Im not a pike this just is based off of what ive seen and heard.

My dad is a Pike from FSU. He says hey have great alumni who are very involved with the chapter. They are deliberate about rush and about recruiting student leaders nd athletes and they are always the biggest fraternity. He says the alumni talk to the chapter about how important it is to be the best.

Pike is VERY legacy heavy. Sometimes that's a mistake but the advantage they have is the money that comes from wealthy alumni whose sons are Pikes. Pike at FSU is a VERY wealthy fraternity supported by alumni whose sons are Pikes.

No one is interested in hearing about Pike. Talk abut Phi Delt, best fraternity at FSU since 1950!

Pike cares more than anyone else about being the 'top' fraternity. No one else cares as much. Any other fraternity could do

I'll confess. I transferred to FSU as a Pike from another school. They are everything they're reputed to be. I'm going to stay in college as long as I can.

Meaning the suspension of all greek activities. Weak. FSU PIKE literally had the craziest run nationally the last 2-4 years, ending ASU's dynasty from 09-2012.
