FALL 2022 OFFICIAL UMD FRAT RANKS w/ EXPLANATION

UPPER TOP: Phi Delt, Sig Nu

It is clear as day that Phi Delt and Sig Nu have the best connections to sororities and overall have the best brotherhood. The recent PCs have been exceptional and have shown great potential in growth for the future of their respective chapters.

TOP: ATO, KA, Sig Chi

ATO, KA, and Sig Chi are great guys overall but have yet to show their true potential and growth to become the highest ranked fraternities, but this could also change with their recent pledge classes. All three still social with the top sororities, but do not command the same level of respect as the top two. Still very solid fraternities based on history and relations.

LOW TOP: Dsig, Lambda, Zeta Psi, ADPhi

Players in this tier such as Zeta Psi and ADPhi have been doing great with their darties in the past few semesters allowing them to climb the ranks towards the top. Lambda recently has had some poor pledge classes which led to them dropping from the upper tiers. Dsig, however, has remained consistent in this tier for the last couple semesters.

UPPER MIDDLE: TEP, SAE, Theta Chi

All three of these fraternities especially theta chi and sae have went through a tumultuous time in the last couple years experiencing time on SOMO and time off campus which has led to a slight decline in performance, but they still have great relations with sororities. With TEP, their ranking did also drop from being one of the higher ranks. This especially stemmed from the recent cases that had happened in the last semester. In the end, TEP, SAE, Theta Chi are solid fraternities and are poised for a comeback.

MIDDLE: ZBT, PSK, Sig Phi, Sig Ep, AGR

PSK has always been known for being consistently in this tier and despite not having the best relations with other fraternities and sororities have more history on campus. Same could also be said with ZBT as they have also been here for quite some time, but have not shown to increase or even decrease. Sig Phi, despite barely having any history on campus, have definitely shown a large jump in ranks due to solid classes in the recent semesters and have had solid relations with sororities. Sig Ep has also recently had a jump in ranks as well, climbing out of the
lower tiers due in part to their darties. AGR belongs here because they have great sorority relations and also have great events, but they lack in relations with fraternities and are seen as novelty.

LOW MIDDLE: Alpha Sig, Beta, Phi Tau

Alpha Sig has seen a decrease in rank due to much smaller pledge classes and low member involvement, but this could change with fall recruitment. Beta and Phi Tau have also, like previous fraternities, stayed very consistent at this lower tier because of their less adequate relations with sororities.

BOTTOM: Sammy, Phi Psi, Chi Phi

These fraternities have also relatively stayed near the bottom of the ranks. Their pledge classes have been pretty weak and have not shown to have great relations with other fraternities and sororities.

LOW BOTTOM: DU, Sig Tau

if you disagree, you self rank.
