A guide to rushing fall 2023
by: YES!
Here is a guide for all of the guys who are planning on rushing. I am ranking these with best houses first and so on. I am leaving out irrelevant houses
1. Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) - SAE is seen as one of the top three houses on campus. Theyre at 1 because of sustained popularity. The guys are very cool and throw functions that are either hit or miss, no inbetween. Pledgeship is hard from what I hear, but a great place to rush. Their house is nice, but the only knock is that it is far off campus.
Sororities they associate with the most
aphi
kappa
axo
zeta
dg
2. Theta Chi (OX)- OX is newly in the top tier of frats on campus gaining huge momentum with their past 2 years of pledge classes. These are cool guys who care a little bit more about school than the SAEs do (house GPA info is on the purdue greek page). There is not much of a difference between them and SAE, you will find that the top three are all very similar. Their house is nice and their parties (Especially grand prix) Are great. Their pledgeship is on the easier side from what i hear, but they do not bid big pledge classes.

Aphi
Kappa
AXO
Chi O
Zeta
3. Delta Tau Delta (Delts)- Delts again is the same as the other two houses. only reason they are at 3 is because of recent social probation and a mid grand prix (Rained out darty). Other than that their house is in a great location by all of the academic buildings, it is old and historic inside which is a cool feel. Their pledgeship is probably the most rough out of all the three and your grades may take a hit, but it is def worth it. they throw the best darties by far

Tri Delt

4. Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji): Fiji is an interesting one. Their guys are cool, they pair with good sororities. Their house is awful though. It is very run down. Their parties are fun but not as fun as the top three. Some weird guys get through but still overall a good house

Theta

Chi O
5. Beta Theta Pi (Beta): Beta has the best looking house on campus. It is big and very nice. Their parties are very hit or miss. They do have some of the biggest ones though that many people go to. They have cool guys but also some weird guys. Their biggest knock is that they are a dry house. Overall a respectable house and good place to rush
sororities they affiliate with the most
Zeta
Chi O
AXO
6. Kappa Sigma (Kappa sig): Kappa sig is the most different house on this list. They are 100% the most stereotypical frat guys on campus. their house is decent (Big). Half of the guys are cool, the other half... the house has gained some popularity but nowhere near as good as the other houses. Their biggest knock is that the top three houses do not really affiliate with them that much. Kappa sig is known to mess with other houses things and frats do not like them that much.
Houses they affiliate with the most
Tri Delt
DZ
Theta
Pi Phi
7. Sigma Chi (Sig Chi): Sig Chi would have been at the top of this ranking a year ago, but they have really fallen off. Half of their house was kicked out so theyre rebuilding. The guys still in it are cool, but they have a long way to go. They have a very nice house. Parties are non existent now but sororities still go over there. Not even close to the top three

2/2
Pi kapps are one of the smallest physical houses on campus with one of the highest member counts, they cram a ton of guys into their house and are not the best socially. They bring in a lot of engineers and have a reputation that follows that. I am unsure if they are currently represented on IFC but they seem like a house that would. Similar to ZBT they hand out a lot of bids but they get better guys or at least manage to hide more of the bad ones. Their function area is very small which creates problems when they have that many guys. Overall, decent grades, alright guys, smaller socially.
Overall this is how I would rush.
1. SAE
2. Theta Chi
3. Beta
4. Phi Psi (hit or mis)
5. Delts (if you don’t care about passing school)
6. Fiji
7. Ksig
8. Sig Chi
9. Pi Kapps
10. ZBT
Remember, go to meet the Greeks, don’t accept your first bid, and if you don’t click with any of these houses Purdue has over 40 so you can always find somewhere that fits you.

1.5/2
Sigma Chi has fallen off hard, I believe they still have the rest of this year on probation, they will need to spend time rebuilding to what they once were. Great group of guys but I wouldn’t be surprised to see some weird guys sneak their way in there with numbers as low as they are.
Of the honorable mentions you stated
ZBT has a 3 year live in requirement, and will bid anything that moves, the owner of their house has it setup for profit. They pretty much have old dorms with a hallway connecting them. To top it off they have a lot of people on IFC and still couldn’t manage to go a year without catching a case. They’re are some pretty good guys in here but the actions of the many weird ones will always outweigh them. With 90+ guys living in there isn’t much they can do. Decent academic but I honestly wouldn’t recommend rushing there. Last but not least they will be coming into the new semester on full social probation i believe.
Phi Psi is pretty much a year ahead of Sigma Chi. 2-3 years ago they got hit with some of the harshest probation IFC could dish out. They got off of social probation last semester but had to throw dry functions last semester and still managed to throw some massive Grand Prix functions with other top houses like Beta and Theta Chi. From what I have seen they have somehow managed to get decent quality guys over the last years and a couple positions on IFC. They also have one of the nicest and newest houses on campus and will probably go on to pair with some of the top houses this year now that they are off probation. Worth at least going to a rush event in my opinion.
