fraternities?

by: Rushee

I'll be rushing in the spring or possibly next fall. I've already decided that KA and Fiji don't really interest me. I'm mainly looking into SAE, SigEp, a bit of Beta, and maybe Delt or Pike. I know a few guys in all of them, but realistically know I won't have enough time, especially with the new formal rush process, to get to know all the chapters in depth. Can anyone give me an unbiased run down? Looking more for pros and cons of each, not the overblown stereotypes that are all over this site

Sae is a nice house, big social budget, gets girls but the guys are all kind of questionable and douchey, they run chilifest and have a lot of money from that
Sigep house has a nice setup but is far, throw fun parties, pretty popular with girls but is kind of just a watered down SAE the guys are nicer though
Beta has a party barn, kind of been steadily going downhill and keep to themselves. The guys are pretty cool though but mostly consist of guys that wish they had joined KA or Fiji
Delt has a decent house but is far, big partier types of guys, kind of been declining, really only hang out with their groupies. Half of the guys are pretty cool and the other half suck
Pikes house is small and far, guys are more of a hybrid between men's organization and fraternity guys but are all pretty nice and smart. has a reputation for bidding guys who don't deserve a bid but that seems to be improving. Surprisingly has been pretty socially relevant this year

Between the houses mentioned(SAE, delt, beta, sig ep, Fiji) which would you say is the most balanced? Like decent grades, decent guys, have fun(they don't have to have the best house) just an overall good experience

Reading this, I would have to say Sig Ep or SAE. Both Chapters are growing and well liked but a lot of people in the Greek community. But they have things they need to work on (but doesn't everyone? lols) I have some friends in other fraternities that are not mentioned they have a great time too!!

-Strong connections with the "classy" sororities
Cons:
-No house
-Parties are lame

-"Aggie Cowboys" (Could be a pro but is a con to a lot of people)

Delt:
Pros:
-Nice house
-Fajitas & Rita's is a great party
-Mix of all sorts of guys
-Strong academically
-Connected with most sororities
Cons:
-House is pretty far
-Weak brotherhood
-Spends all their money on Fajitas & Rita's then doesn't do much else the rest of the year (other parties are lame)
-Not very involved outside of Greek life

Pike:
Pros:
-Smart/involved
-Known as the "nice guys"

Between the ones mentioned who's the most balanced? That's hard, everyone lacks in some areas and thrives in others.

SAE is really good socially but not really elsewhere. SigEp is somewhat balanced (not just saying that cause they're "the balanced men" or whatever) but still more socially oriented. Beta is really good everywhere but socially. Delt and Pike might be the most balanced overall but I hesitate to say that cause it has more to do with the fact that they bid all sorts of miscellaneous guys rather than the guys themselves being balanced

KA and SAE are for guys mainly looking into fraternity life for partying/girls. Fiji and Beta are for guys who don't care much about that and care more about being in a group of smart guys from successful backgrounds. Sigep and Delt are the most rounded and all around balanced. Sigep probably has better guys/brotherhood overall but Delt has better grades.

Pike is also very well rounded, but I would say that with the exception of this year, they're lacking socially. Mostly men's organization/FLO types, not that that's bad but they don't act like a traditional fraternity. The pikes who are more frat are the ones who couldnt get into the above fraternities but were smart enough not to go Sigma Chi IMO

Beta is a good fraternity but if you don't like KA or Fiji you won't like Beta. Beta is basically a watered down version of those two. My advice: check out SAE or SigEp and figure out which is more your style. If you don't care about tier at all Pike is also a solid choice. Don't go Delt.

I know they're not top or anything but what's so wrong with Delt?

Terrible brotherhood. Plus the guys are actually probably twice as douchy as other frats but with half the credentials to back it up

Agreed about the douchiness thing. I've always thought it's weird how SAE gets slammed for that when Delt is probably way worse over all. But as for the brotherhood thing, how would you really know if you weren't a part of the fraternity? You wouldn't

Whoa, coming from a guy in a "top 5" fraternity, that kind of behavior isn't the norm and wouldn't fly with most fraternities. I know if you did that kind of stuff in my chapter you'd probably be ostracized if not kicked out

Throwing in my two cents...make sure to check out all possibilities when looking at frats! Coming in with a narrow mind sometimes hurts you in the end!

beta guys are my favs because they're all really fun, nice guys. i always enjoy their parties and know that i'll be respected there. with that said, i also really like sig ep (somewhat less so) for the same reason. my experiences with SAE and delt are mostly douchey and somewhat creepy guys just trying to get laid and not caring as much about their friendships. KA is kind of hit or miss for me between those two types.
