pi kapp or lambda chi

by: Transfer student

I'll be transferring to TCU next semester and will be a sophomore... I know a few people in lambda chi and pi kapp. What would be my chances of getting a bid from those houses? I played baseball basketball and football in high school and have a 3.5 gpa in college. I'm also coming from the university of arkansas

lambda and pi kapp are two big houses on campus. honestly from what I've seen the two are pretty opposite though. lambdas are the hot shot football guys who like to get drunk with each other on the weekday and hook up with girls on the weekends. if you drink with them you'll get a bid, no too hard. pi kapp on the other hand does a dry rush. they care more about brother hood than how high your alc tolerance is. really solid nice guys. that being said, once rush is over, pi kapp throws amazing parties and holds lots of events. both groups are good, lambda just parties a little harder and pi kapp is a little more down to earth. in terms of getting bids, like i said lambda is looking for you to party with them but they'll like your athleticism a lot. pi kapp will also like your athleticism since hteyre so involved but they'll be looking more for if you would be a loyal brother.

Word of advise avoid Pi kapp - unless you are super nerdy and awkward.
then you will fit right in .....not a good rep on campus.

Neither group is exceptionally better than the other but just as the first response stated, they are quite opposite on their membership and goals. Know what you are looking for and choose accordingly.

This is my thought too. It isn't that one is great and one sucs it is about personal style.

Pi kapp overall is not awkward. You'll find some more awkward nerdy guys in pi kapp and you'll find some huge wannabe dbags in lamdba, but a good group of guys in both. You'll see some awkward guys, some dbags, etc in any frat you choose

Pi Kapp has some of the smartest and highest achieving guys on campus. Lambda has boys they peaked in high school playing games. It's all up to what a person wants. Neither is wrong but you won't likely feel at "home" in both. They are exact opposites.

Both groups are good in totally different ways. Visit with them and you will know what is right for you.

Lambda is way more popular but Pi Kapp boys will go further in life

These are both decent groups but very different so no doubt you will flow best with one over the other once you connect with them

first comment is extremely accurate. I wouldn't say pi-kapps are awkward at all, so the second comment is a little strange to me though.

The first answer is the best although neither is consider top they are both respectable

Do you want to be a jock or a academic? That's the question

Both of these houses have strong and weak points. It's about your goals. Others have explained the differences. There is no wrong group just one brotherhood fits you better as a person than another.

I like guys from both of these groups but they are so different that I cannot imagine that you won't feel more connected to one once you meet the brothers. They are about as opposite as groups get.

Academics versus athletics is it that simple. Neither one is wrong just one will be a better fit for you.

Both are respectable groups so go with the one that fits you best and asks you to join. Greek life is what you make of it.

Best way to find out is by getting in touch with their members. If you're trying to get a good feel for where you'd fit best via anonymous online message board without actually hanging out with them, you're probably not the guy either wants.

Both have great guys and not so great. Pi Kapp is normally our top rated GPA house and win lots of leadership awards while Lambda is more of a party jock group. Welcome to TCU and go for whatever group fits your goals best.

No comparison with these choices. As others have pointed out its about your preference and nothing more.
