Delta Kappa Epsilon is the most prestigious fraternity in terms of the number of US presidents, as they have five: Rutherford B. Hayes (honorary member), Teddy Roodevelt, Gerald Ford, and both Bushes. FDR was an initiator member of DKE but because the national DKE organization at the time started to prohibit dual membership in more than fraternity, FDR wasn't officially considered a DKE even though he was initiated since he was already a member of Alpha Delta Phi at Harvardm. DKE was founded at Yale so this chapter is the mother chapter. DKE at Yale is also the home chapter of US Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who previously worked for his fellow Yale DKE brother George W. Bush (although they were in DKE in different eras).

Sigma Alpha Epsilon is probably the cream of the crop in terms of classy gentleman husband material, tied first place with Sigma Chi and only a couple of others at the most. Sigma Alpha Epsilon boys are true gentlemen who are generally rich from old money families and from the South.

The Psi Upsilon chapter here at Yale is prestigious as it is the home chapter of President and Chief Justice William Howard Taft.

Alpha Delta Phi is a great bunch of fun guys. It us made half of lacrosse players and half people from other sports teams or even people who don't play sports at all. Non-athletes who are members are treated on an equal level as the lacrosse players and other athletes. Alpha Delta Phi is really cool and unique in that it is not only a social fraternity but also a literary organization. Literary programs are part of their current itinerary and not just a part of their Historic past. Franklin and Teddy Roosevelt were part of Alpha Delta Phi at Harvard.

Verrrrrry nice boys who are truly gentle gentlemen. They are athletic and many are from the soccer team. They are sweet hearts and very kind.

Sigma Chi is amazing. People criticize them for being aloof but that is because they are elite and exclusive (both in the best sense of the terms.) The boys there represent classiness to the highest extreme and that is something that should be praised, not condemned. They are role models of what fraternity men should be and how they should act like. They are the antithesis of the drunken slob stereotypes that you see on TV or in movies. I have researched Sigma Chi nationally and realized that the boys in all Sig chapters across the nation are husband material types. There is a reason for this positive conformity: it is called the Jordan Standard, which is unique among all 100 plus fraternities in the country. The Jordan Standard, named after one of their founders who became a Congressman, lays out minimum requirements for what Potential New Members must already possess in terms of quality moral attributes. It is the specific minimal membership requirements that make Sigma Chi unique. Two of those several standards are: a fair amount of ability (ie intelligence and work ethic) and high Ambition. Those two characteristics are what make Sigma Chi already elite from the start. No one fraternity in the country requires every single of its members to already have elite mor characteristics before even joining. Sigma Chi does. This is why Sigma Chi is different from other fraternities in the best possible way. Yes, the requirements are steep and not for everyone. The requirements are not for everyone and are intentionally designed to weed out the losers who make up the vast majority of the population. But if you have a winning attitude about life and the talent, intelligence and deep ambition to succeed in life, then Sigma Chi is where you belong. As a Theta myself (although writing under a pseudonym), I strongly think that Sig Chi should mix us much more. Kappa Alpha Theta chooses women with the same type of classiness, inner drive, and intelligence that Sigma Chi prides in their men. What do you say, gentlemen? Are you interested?

IMPORTANT: I am a member of Kappa Alpha Theta at Yale and I was talking to a few of my sisters today about a very critical topic. We agreed that there is so much pettiness and cattiness on Greek Rank and throughout the Pan-hellenic community at Yale and that we should be spreading love and kindness. We reached put to a couple of girls from the other three sororities who agreed with idea of spreading compassion and positive words about each other instead of meanness. We have now assembled a team of undercover posters on Greek Rank who will say only positive things about each others' sororities. We will post using pseudonyms so that we don't face retaliation from catty members of our sisterhood who want to continue to spread hate and dissension throughout the Pan-Hellenic community here at Yale. We will not only limit our acts of kindness to Greek Rank. We will endeavour to try to secretly perform acts of kindness to both our own respective sisters and women in other sisterhood. We hope to inspire the Pan-Hellenic community here at Yale to be the light and truth in our university community. We have managed to recruit the following number of sisters from each sorority to spread words of kindness: Kappa Alpha Theta: 4 Kappa Kappa Gamma: 6 Alpha Phi: 4 Pi Beta Phi: 5 The 19 of us will work diligently to fight words of hate and meanness throughout the Pan-Hellenic community. We officially called ourselves the Secret Angel Sisters. We will aggressively call out cattiness and other mean spirited remarks on Greek Rank whenever we can. We firmly believe that each of the four organizations here at Yale is unique and beautiful with many top-notch women. We are all obviously most proud of our own respective sisterhoods, but we believe that is possible to be proud of one's sisterhood without being cruel towards girls of other wonderful organizations. I hope that you agree with me that we should show more kindness and compassion to one another. Sincerely, J. E. "Rachel" R Founder and Interim President of the Secret Angel Sisters

I am not from Delta Kappa Epsilon, but this is by far the most prestigious fraternity as it has by far the most presidents out of any fraternity: 5 US presidents (including Teddy Roosevelt and both Bushes.) The next highest is 2 for any other fraternity. The Bushes and US Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanuagh were members of the Yale chapter.
