Frat Rankings Guide for first years

by: the truth

First off, find somewhere you like, rankings are far from everything. But if you are interested, here is a rundown:

Top in no particular order: Elmo, DKE, Hall, Zete

The Big 4 are somewhat interchangeable, and just have different vibes (ex. DKE northern, Zete southern). All 4 are rich, preppy, only mix with top sororities, and have probably the best parties, but tend to be exclusive.

Upper Mid:
Phi Psi
SAE
Kappa Sig
Chi Phi/Sig Chi

Phi Psi/SAE is definitely not the top, but they are pretty far from Kappa Sig, so Phi Psi/SAE are kinda in their own category. These frats mix with top and upper mid sororities, great house locations (besides Sig Chi), and fun parties.

Mid:
Beta/SNU
Sammy
Pika
Theta Chi

These frats are going to be less exclusive, but still have some pretty fun parties and are a good time. You'll find a lot of nice, decent guys in the mid tier, and there aren't as many private school kids. These frats mix with a wide range of sororities. Beta and SNU guys love to self rank themselves, so put them in the same category to avoid fighting in the comments.

Lower Mid:
Phi Society/DU
Phi Delt/D Sig/Chi Psi
Pi Kapp

These frats aren't as concerned with rank or prestige, but are a lot about a good brotherhood and having a good time. These frats mix with some mid and mostly lower sororities. Not particularly exclusive and most people can join if they want.

Lower:
A Sig/SERP/AEPi
Sig Pi/Pi Lam
SPE/TDX/TKE/ATO/Phi Sig

Serp has a bad rep with treating women well, so its kinda a shame that they have one of the best houses. These frats are not going to be throwing huge parties, just kinda brotherhood clubs and might not mix with many sororities, but can be great places to join.

This post is ridiculous. First of, the ranks suck and do not reflect the present. Also whoever made it is a massive loser trying to astroturf tf out of it. Like to view ratio is clearly fake. I bet most of the comments are fake. Get a life and touch grass.

Yeah Elmo can’t just assault people and stay in top 4, should get moved to top 3 or maybe put a different frat in

Do you need to know someone in the frat to get into the top 4 houses?

By: Top
by: KindaAug 7, 2023 1:47:29 PM

You don’t need to, plenty of guys do get in without connections, but I wouldn’t say that it doesn’t help a fair amount

this is a solid description and really any of these houses could be fun for the right person. Even some of the lowers you have listed here have parties just about every week.

People think about rank too much, yes it does affect sorority mixers, but that’s mostly all of it

This might be the best info out here, also, most frats will have dirty rush events throughout the first semester so definitely try and go to those to get a feel for places before rush in the spring. I didn’t know this going in to my first year

by: BumpAug 17, 2023 8:36:18 AM

Yeah bump this, really focus on dirty rush, you’ll get a good sense of what you like through that

Can you not be rich and get into the big 4? Would seem weird if you couldn’t.

By: Money
by: YupAug 7, 2023 11:03:24 PM

Yeah you definitely can, a lot of the guys are rich, but if you are cool it doesn’t matter, there are def guys that aren’t private school/rich vibes in the top frats

100%. While most of them are rich, that doesn't on its own exclude you at all. It definitley helps because it probably means connections, but plenty of new guys at open house can get bids. Just be cool and if you fit in, you fit in it's not about money when it really comes down to it.

Yeah and beyond this a lot of houses have alumni sponsored scholarships for dues so don’t ever let issues with money deter you from a place you really like

If you can’t pay, most frats, especially the more top ones, will give scholarships, so moneys not too much of a worry

How do you get invited to dirty rush events?

By: Meet
by: ShsbsbAug 8, 2023 8:11:10 PM

You’ll meet people at bars, parties, classes, the gym, etc. Its easier than you think as long as you are outgoing
