opinions on each fraternity

As someone who was completely oblivious to Greek life at CSUF and had no idea of the reputations of each house before I joined a fraternity, I advise you to rush and check out a few different houses, at least 3-4. All fraternities are good in their own ways, but it is up to you to form your own opinions about each house, don't let others make that choice for you. I would definitely recommend joining a chapter that has an actual REAL fraternity house (DX, PhiSig, PhiTau, PiKapp), it will make all the difference in your fraternity experience. However, the other chapters that don't have a house (SigmaNu, PIKE, AEPi) may be a better fit for you, which is the most important aspect, but you won't have the fun and good times that a fraternity house has to offer, which was a HUGE factor in my decision to choose the house that I'm in. Good Luck, and don't let choosing a house stress you out, just keep an open mind!

There are currently seven recognized fraternities on campus. Phi Tau, Pi Kapp, and DChi all have reputations for partying and have houses. Those three will offer you the most typical and fun college experience. PIKE has over 120 members, do not have a house and most Pikes don't even know each other. They are not a genuine fraternity and I advise anybody to stay away from them. Phi Sig also has a house on frat row but does not necessarily have the most popular reputation. Sigma Nu also does not have a "cool" reputation and also does not have an official house. AEPi is the newest and smallest fraternity.
