old row fraternities vs new row fraternities
by: greekrank#4 by: Ya
In sum: Old Row pulls more heavily from the shallow end of the gene pool. New Row pulls more from the deep end. There are quality dudes in both, but Old Row will rank local Alabama high school cliques over many other qualities. The top New Row houses pull plenty of Alabama guys, but they also pull from every other state. The reverse is also true to a certain extent — there are non-Alabama guys in Old Row houses, but they are still pretty much the exception.

These descriptions are very inaccurate. If you want to rush an old row fraternity and you are OOS that doesn’t matter really. If you are a cool guy with the same calluses of the guys in that specific old row fraternity, then you will get a bid. It’s that simple. If you pull up in joggers, a chain, and a backwards flat bill. You will probably not get an old row bid, fyi.

The Old Row houses are all rich Southerners from mostly private schools.
All OR houses are Top Tier.
Top Tier New Row houses are Pi Kapp, OX, EX and Pike. The best of everything in these houses.
Then there the more academic NR houses like Sig Ep, ATO and Phi Psi.
Then there’s Beta on University. Which probably has more in common with some Jefferson houses like KS, DX or DTD. They have more of a laid back vibe.
Then there’s the rest of the Jefferson NR houses. LXA, ZBT, Chi Phi

OLD ROW fraternities are the LAUGHINGSTOCK of Greek life. NO ONE let me repeat NO ONE that is important considers OLD ROW top tier fraternities EXCEPT OLD ROW. They are a joke and mostly middle to bottom tier. ALL THE BEST FRATERNITIES ARE NEW ROW!, best looking, smartest, most fun. Generations of INBREEDING has not been kind to OLD ROW fraternity members unless you like them, short, pudgy and UNSOPHISTICATED.

Yes, there is some kind of height limitation among OR frats that they don't share publicly because I have never seen more dudes in one place that are 5'9" and shorter than an OR party. If you want to date someone 6' or taller, you are going to have to head to NR.
Even better is that the short kings on OR think that dating them is some kind of privilege. The OR girls believe it and they are happy just be there so it all works itself out.
