the hard truth

Top House is top house, no matter how you put it. The top house takes the best group of guys, has the most/best parties, hangs out with the most sorority chicks, etc. OX and EX are the only Fraternities on campus that even throw parties with Sorority chicks that come to them. They are always fighting for the best guys during rush and are favorites among sorority girls to hang with. OX was top house last year obviously, but now that theyre suspended its going to be hard for them to beat out Sigma Chi in those aspects (limited parties and no rush). So this year it's pretty obvious that EX will be top house, even if theyre not on IFC, because in all honesty, that changed absolutely nothing and you guys know it.
Not one of my friends has gone out to a EN, KE, or Phi Tau party, and I dont think anybody can or will because there ARENT ANY. You cant be top house if nobody even knows you, honest truth.

So here's my question... If you were a freshman looking to have the best time of your life in college, would you choose a house that parties all the time, is tight knit and has great relations with the two best sororities, BUT CANT do Greek Week, or a fraternity that has little standing with sororities, rarely parties and isnt all that fun, BUT ARE IFC affiliated? which would you choose?
