royal bar crawl?

The houses were decided upon many years ago when there was some contest for who the kings and queens were. I don't know what the contest was or how it went about, but Betas ATO and Sigs all won the "kings" title, and Theta, tridelt, and DG won "queen" title. Obviously over the years, things have changed for a few of these houses. So even though no one sees Beta anywhere near top house anymore & majority think ATO and DG have recently declined, technically all 3 of those houses still hold the title from long ago...that's right, even Betas (for you incoming freshmen, Beta isn't even in top 10).

THEREFORE, the name "kings" and "queens" don't hold any significance anymore; just because you're labeled "king" or "queen" does not make you a top house. For example, Pikes aren't technically a "king" but they're clearly a top house--better than sigs and ATO.
So the royal barcrawl started with the kings/queens of long ago, and since it's still a thing to this day, yall need to technically include Betas in that... sorry im not sorry.

Unfortunately, yes this is an annual thing. Last year's was particularly memorable - some even made it to the Friday Fail page of TFM. That about sums it up.

I say we have another competition

Actually Beta was a super powerhouse and unfortunately some of their member decided to start selling Adderall and posted it on Facebook. Beta Nationals found out and basically shut Beta down and pulled them off campus for four years. They didn't decline, they literally were closed. SAE pretty much took their place. The last four years of the bar crawl have been the same three sororities and two fraternities and SAE got the Beta spot. Beta is not getting their spot back. Who knows f they will even last on the campus. They are basically completely new and they get their old house back but they can do very little and partying will only get their Nationals back on them. ATO and DG are easily the two most stuck up and arrogant houses so they haven't declined at all. But they get beat up a lot on here because you can saw anything. It's unfair that these six houses choose to elevate themselves and act better than the rest, but the truth is these six do everything together. Pikes are a great house though and I actually think they are better than SAE and top tier with Sigs and ATOs

ATO is seriously the powerhouse fraternity.
They have the hottest wealthiest guys by far.
Just because you want them to suck doesn't mean they suck.
Yes they can be arrogant beyond belief and that makes you want to dislike them.
They might be lower in personality but they are tops in looks, wealth and they are super athletic.

Sigs are blocking with DG this fall
SAE was supposed to be with Theta

Yes
And GPhi is blocking with Pikes
Tri Delt with Delts
