need some help

If you feel like the fiji guys would be your best friends during college then pledge there. If you go to KA and you like the guys substantially more and feel like you fit in there then pledge there. That's all that really matters. The big differences are the parties you'll be throwing, girls you'll be hanging out with and the guys you'll be hanging out with. In a year or two KA will probably be closer to fiji regarding their tier than they are now. Don't relive your dads college life choose which one u want

Fiji is top house at UT and the most exclusive. However, their exclusivity has more to do with the quality of the guy, not just what neighborhood he is from or how much money his family has (they have not given bids to a lot of guys from wealthy families/prestigious neighborhoods if they think they are jerks or douchebags). KA are mid tier due to losing their charter but I'm sure they will rise over the next few years now that they have their charter back. Take all this into consideration but mainly focus on which guys you fit in with the most and want to spend the next 4 years with.

I'd choose to be a star at KA but nobody can deny FIJI is a great option

There's too much KA complementing KA in this post. Fiji is the absolute top fraternity and most respected on campus. KA didn't even exist two years ago but for some reason think they're legitimate.

From a girl's perspective there is no comparison. If Fiji offers you a bid, take it.

You are not your dad and UT's KA chapter isn't anything like his chapter. KA has a lot of work to do to be great at UT again. You will not have the same kind of social life or connections. I'd only go KA if Fiji doesn't bid you.

if you bid a fraternity only because of your dad you will always regret it, but especially when you realize the friends you could have had for life.

I think the entire KA chapter is on Greek Rank this summer
