University of Miami - UM Greek Life Reviews

If you're not in a Greek organization or not incredibly rich you cannot have fun at the University of Miami. The top fraternities are Sig Ep, Sigma Chi, and SAE. The top sorority is DG, followed by SDT and DPhiE. Fraternities not only control the weekend pool party scene, they also have most of the major promoters and control who gets into clubs in South Beach. Joining and getting involved is the best way to ensure a good time in Coral Gables.

Pretty low number of Sororities and Frats on campus, but still able to have good fun. The frats haze pretty hard except for a few (Alpha sig + kapp sig + SAE) Most sororities are fairly hard to get a bid to the exceptions are obviously the bottom 2 and the frats too (leaving out Kappsig and alpha sig who'll give bids to anybody who comes knocking )

Big Greek scene. Yes, they haze balls. Good chapters aren't "involved," that's for squids. Real savages just murk biddies and blaze after initiation. Actually going to chapter is a real geed move also

Sororities are much larger and do not haze (maybe a bit in the top few). Sororities do not have housing, about half of fraternities do although it doesn't effect their reputations. Fraternities all haze (some are especially bad), more than most private schools. Hazing on par with SEC. Getting bids can be very competitive, lower tiers are "safety" and generally give bids fairly easy. Upper middle and top tiers are fairly exclusive.
