rankings?
by: FreshmanHi, I'm going to be a freshman next year and am set on greek life as I've always wanted to join a fraternity. What are the fraternity tiers at Chico? My buddy from high school is a theta chi but he told me how they got suspended and are having problems keeping the frat together. What are the new tiers for the upcoming year?

fraternities in chico are at an all time low to be honest. there's three worth rushing, and that's kappa sig, sigma chi, and sigma pi. you can't rush theta chi next year, but they're good too.
sigma pi is coming off a suspension, and only has 20 or so official members, but another 30 that are "unofficial". they were a top house before their suspension.
kappa sig made huge progress in the last two years. were kind of a joke but now have solid guys and hang out with a lot of sororities.
sigma chi is off campus, but that honestly isn't the biggest deal. sigma pi and theta chi would go off campus if their nationals let them. sigma chi has a solid group of guys.

yea every fraternity is really chill. You'll have a great time and get girls in whatever fraternity you decide upon. I'm in Sigma Nu and would definitely recommend checking us out. Alpha Sig and Phi Delt are great houses too!! Good luck future bro, we can't wait to see ya out at rush!!

SO just to give a quick background since most of these people posting are probably frehsmen or sophomores. For years, chico state has been between the "big three"; Theta Chi, Sigma Chi, and Sigma Pi. Top house was always between Sigma Chi and Theta Chi, with Sigma Pi being solidly third. As far as best house for you, you shouldnt be looking at "tiers". How everyone views tiers is obviously skewed, since many people take different things into question when ranking fraternities. Grades, Philanthropy, Socials, and house all come into effect. As far as having the most "desired" socials, your best bet is Theta Chi and Sigma Chi. Theta chi is on probation now, but as a freshmen you should be more concerned about where you see the chapter in 3 years, not entirely where it is now. Grades and Philanthropy are done by every chapter, but you should really go into rush without any predispositions. Everyone has their fit, but ranking chapters by tiers is a joke and almost everyone on here has no idea what the hell they're talking about. Still, greek life is a hell of a time and life-changing experience regardless. Enjoy.

Top house depends 100% on who you ask now. Historically it is true that top house used to be a tie between Theta Chi and Sigma Chi and a lot of people still believe that to be the case even with Sigma Chi unaffiliated and Theta Chi on suspension. To be honest any concept of tiers was killed by Chico State trying to weed out Greek life by blaming issues with the Chico drinking culture on top fraternities. Theta Chi will be back just like Sigma Pi is this year, and Panhellenic bans sororities from participating Sigma Chi events (with the exception of grab a date socials) under pressure from IFC. Sigma Pi got suspende by the University after an unfortunate incident occurred and Theta Chi got suspended by the University for having a social event that wasn't allowed. All of the top fraternities are just becoming targets by the administration and if that trend continues, which it will with President Zingg doing his thing, then it doesn't matter who is considered top house anymore. It seems like the only way to prevail in the Chico Greek system is by being under the radar, because the school has decided that promoting the bad in fraternities is more important than praising the good. Because a lot of fraternity's situations are different, it's hard to compare them on non-biased terms. Rush whatever fraternity you feel most comfortable with during recruitment week and base it solely off of that, because in the long run everyone bases it off of who they have the most friends in.

Your obviously a sigma pi self promoting. Yes, Sigma pi was a top house in the past but their reorganization nearly killed them and now have 12 actives. Sigma pi has a very negative reputation among the new sophmores and can't imagine many people wanting to pledge them. In addition if they get caught (someone will snitch) having any of their "unofficial" members participate in socials / rush their charter will get pulled very quickly or the university will suspend them.
In no order, sigma chi, kappa sigma, and phi kappa tau are the only houses worth joining. Sigma nu many a lot of actives and decent rep but are on social probation and possible suspension for not making grades.
Sigma chi is unaffiliated with the university which prevents them from doing socials/sports/greek week which is a big aspect of being "greek."
