The cold-hard truth

Trying to be unbiased here. But naturally I will be simultaneously accused of being in Theos, Owls, ZBT, Fiji, Sig Chi, Crows, and Phi Psi.

T1:
Castle
Hall/Theos

T2:
Phi Delt
Zete/Apes
ZBT
Owls

Dropoff

T3: Upper Mid
SAE/Fiji
Sammy
Pikapp

T4:
Sig Chi
Elmos
Beta
AEpi/Ksig

Dropoff

T5:
Sig Ep
Crows
Sig Nu
Pike/DKE
Phi Psi

T6:
ATO/Spades
PiLam
TEP/Oz

Tons of misinformation about rush being passed around here. I'll do my best to address it as someone very involved in rush at a T2/3 frat. We lost some cross rushes, we won some cross rushes, but I generally have a good finger on the pulse of where everyone went.

The main point: there is not as much fluctuation as people make it out to be. Fiji is not T2. ZBT and Owls are not T3. Sammy is not suddenly pushing top of T3. PiKapp does not magically jump SAE.

People love to overreact.

Nothing negative about castle being posted, which is warranted. Good class, social probation may through em off for a bit, but they have been known to adapt. Not much negative about Delt, Apes, or Hall either. All three had above average PCs, with Halls being the standout. Delts is on the smaller side but they will be fine.

Now for the fun part:
- Theos is going to be fine. Still managed a decent sized PC and their srat relations will keep them in T1. Anyone still shtting on Theos is delusional.
- Zete is going to be fine. Heard a rumor they only had 6 guys. Not true. Zete has always been on the smaller size and this year's class is quite normal for them. Lost some international flair though.
- ZBT is going to be fine. Lost some key cross rushes to Apes, but from what I could gather, their losses beyond that were minimal. PC is 20+ and the quality is average. Anyone ranking with them T3 is delusional.
- Owls is (probably) going to be fine. Had some issues w retention, but they seem to have pulled it together. Smaller class, but anything over 10 would put them in a good spot
- Fiji is fine (not great). Ranks w fiji in T2 are stupid. Big class as usual for fiji. They rushed well; I give them tons of credit for that. It's the lack of social presence and srat relations that hold fiji back; never rush.
- SAE is going to be fine. Good class size. Just need to step up their social calendar to compete w ZBT and Apes again. Seem to have lost some momentum w srat relations while Apes and ZBT have made progress w Aphi and Oax respectively.
- Sig Chi might actually not be fine. They have been slipping hard and lack of organization in rush has them in a pickle and no real class yet.
