In Depth IFC Rush Guide 2025

Amidst all the ranking spams, it’s important to have a consensus guide of all the IFC houses, as well as the stratifications that exist. AS ALWAYS-rankings within tiers matter less than tiers themselves.

TOP: Each of these frats mix with the same Core 4 [Aphi, DG, KKG, Theta] sororities. Lots of private school students with prior connections where pledge classes are decided before formal rush even starts. Vibes vary across houses but hard pledging and big time commitments are a constant.

UPPER: Frats that almost purely dirty rush, but will take some friends of their dirty rushes when Top frats steal their guys. Known for exclusivity, strong mixing schedule, nice houses and good brotherhoods. Slightly less “fratty” than upper houses, but still respected and their parties are considered the place to be.

UPPER-MID: This tier is typically the best case scenario for non-dirty rushes. These houses are also widely respected and throw down hard, tend to take some people who didn’t get into upper/top frats. Their parties range from large opens to more exclusive mixers.

LOWER-MID: These frats are hungry to climb and will want to take as many decent guys as they can get. Solid sorority relations and closed parties, but they have some issues that hold them back from being higher ranked.

LOWER MID - LOWER: These houses have limited mixing schedules/sorority relations and are generally considered not very exclusive. They’ll throw large opens pretty frequently, which is why you’ll hear most underclassmen discussing these houses, but don’t really have a solid social standing in the Greek system. Some are known for very strong brotherhoods; good houses if partying and girls are less your thing.
