They are not recognized by the school. They will have underground rush so you have to know someone in the fraternity to get in. Not anyone can rush a fraternity underground. And if they aren't recognized by the school, they do not have a house i.e. Sig ep, kappa sig, phi psi, snu.

yes aphigrl is correct. Sigep and ka lost the exemption at the very end of last school year. THey will both have it back next year. Freshmen should be fine joining these two top frats

There is a difference. KA & SigEp are recognized, they just don't have a house for one year. Phi psi, SAE, Kappa Sig, Beta, and SigNu are totally unrecognized/kicked off

Wrong about SAE. They are recognized nationally. Only reason they are not recognized by Miami is because they chose not to be. Once they were in the good graces nationally all they needed to do was petition miami for reinstatement. They chose not to do that. There are advantages to being recognized by nationals and NOT being recognized by Miami.

You shouldn't want to rush them anyways hahah. There are like 30 fraternities on campus. All of those frats you just listed are irrelevant except Phi Psi and SAE. Just pick another great one (like SigPi, Theta Chi, KA, Fiji, SigEp, Phi Tau, Phi Delt, etc)

If you are a freshman, I would recommend NOT rushing a fraternity that has been completely kicked off. By "completely kicked off," I mean fraternities that don't have recognition from the university or their national chapter (Sig Nu, Phi Psi, Beta, and Kappa Sig). These fraternities do not have access to their respective houses and are not allowed to use or rent out any university facilities.
While not being able to use university facilities as an organization is hardly a punishment, not having a house and not being mentioned along with all the other recognized organizations can be a huge recruitment killer over the course of several years.
You can be the biggest party kings like Sig Chi used to be and fade into irrelevance in the matter of 3 years without a house. Even Phi Tau got a huge influx of weirdos for the year they were suspended.
