At this point their go-to pickup line is always the same: "Have you seen our new house?" Yes, y'all, it's cool. We know. But flexing it versus your individual merits as brothers strikes of try-harding. Still, the brothers are mostly cool, and the ones best left avoided seem to be well-known within UT sorority girls. OTOH trying hard seems to have produced some seriously epic parties, so props for success in try-harding. They definitely seem pointed up, but OTOH I've heard some not-so-great tales about their most recent pledge classes...

My dad pledged a UT frat in the '90s, and before I did so myself, he had one bit of advice: "Fiji is great – except for the sexism, racism, elitism and generally terrible human beings." Can't say it's changed much. They manage to pull some of the best-looking girls on campus – mainly Kappas & Pi Phis and similar – but I've heard quite a few claims that their superficial-level charm tends to evaporate if you try to tell them no about anything. Fiji's rich even by UT standards, and entitled white boys are only "considerate" if they're getting something out of it: girls, connections, money, etc. Basically the type of dudes you'd expect to end up in a Trump Cabinet seat.

If hanging out with HP trust-fund brats cosplaying as hicks with Yukons & Red Wings is your thing – or if you're into hot dudes but try to avoid thinking about what their fraternity truly represents – KA's definitely your best bet. One of the oldest frats at UT, and certainly one of the most elitist. At least you'll see a few men of color there nowadays, unlike Fiji, but the throughline for most of them is having grown up rich. It's top tier, sure, but it's also elitist in a not-good way.
