frat rankings fall 2016

I'll give you a description of the frats as far as I know and you can piece it out from there

TOPS

1. Kappa Sig
Largest and richest fraternity on campus. Throws down most often because they can afford to do so. Their parties are a bit exclusive which can be annoying, they don't open up much. Very strong brotherhood, diversity is OK, tons of stoners, overall chill dudes. Mixes with sororities across both mid and top tier. Overall very well known and respected on campus.

2. PIKE
Second largest fraternity on campus, also very rich. Currently on probation this semester, so they can only throw open parties. However, they do mix with top sororities when not on probation. Gives off a definite east coast vibe as opposed to Kappa Sig's slightly more west coast vibe. Their parties are always fun. Brotherhood is alright. Also respected on campus.

MIDDLE:

SigEp:
Smaller fraternity. Has definitely been on the rise. Pulled themselves from bottom tier to mid tier in the past few years. Throw a lot of open parties, mix with average sororities. Fraternity with highest GPA on campus, they're your smart guys. Some cool dudes mixed in with absolute weirdos. Not as respected as Pike/Ksig but they're moving in the right direction. No pledging process really hurts their brotherhood.

Chi Phi:
Hasn't been a presence at all recently, definitely on the downfall. Very weak rush and pledge class this semester, so we'll see where next semester's pledge class takes them. Do mix with DG.

The lower tier frats are not selective at all, since they don't get many rushes.

On the other hand, the top tier frats (KappaSig, pike) can pull in 200+ rushes during the fall and a bit less during the spring, while only taking in pledge classes of normally 10-20. They're much more exclusive and much harder to receive bids from.

Other factors are just overall reputation, who they mix with, quality of parties, etc.
