"Good Frats" in FLA...Or wherever!
 

Hi, peoples! I know there are annoying stereotypes that all us Greeks try and shy away from- "Each Greek Created Equal" and all that, but I also know that no frat/Sorors I know actually believes that. No matter what we say, some frats and sororities will always be viewed as "Good." So, ladies, my question is, at FSU, UF, UNF, UM, wherever- Which is the frat that the girls are proud to snag a guy from? ;)

For starters its not "frat" its fraternity. On my campus my organization is very diverse we date guys from any fraternity. we have 7-8 I believe. I personally am not dating a guy in a fraternity but my as well as a good majority of my sister's personal fav are Theta Chi's. However some sisters prefer other fraternities over Theta Chi or in addition to Theta Chi.

didn't mean to offend
 

Wasn't trying to offend- the Greeks on my campus use the word Frat, too- It's not considered derogatory. I was careful in the phrasing of my question, I'd thought, so that members would realize it's a silly, trivial one- just opinions. :)

I have always favored Lambda Chi Alpha's for some reason and I like the Theta Chi's as well. Those are the two that if I had to pick I would want to date.

Of course I am only influenced by the men I have met, but there are great guys in any fraternity I have learned!!

Well, my fav is definitely Sigma Chi. They are awesome guys!! Of course, I'm a little biased, because I'm dating one, but their organization seems to attract well rounded, outstanding gentlemen.

On the flip side
 

On the other side of the issue I dated a Gamma Phi Beta and loved her to death but couldn't stand some of her sisters. I think that there's always going to be good and bad in every group regardless. I've personally liked the attitude of the girls in Kappa Kappa Gamma. They're really down to Earth and are the type of women that you could take home to mom.

Hey... Im feeling a lil left out here in MIAMI, FLORIDA...
How about FIU?
FIU is the leading public university in Miami... and contrary to popular belief is an AWESOME school with a VERY active greek community :)

Hmmm as far as the greeks on here check out
www.fiu.edu/~greeks

there are 6 sororities and 12 fraternities as well as all of the 9 NPHC organizations :)

As far as who is the "best"....i would say that every organization is known for their own strong points and weak points, and every organization has something to offer to each individual person...
i personally am not picky as far as who is best, i like to look and get to know people on an "individual" basis as opposed to "that guy from XYZ" it is my opinion that each person is an individual who happens to be in XYZ, there is alot more to know about people than their organization...
I can safely say i know and get along well with just about every organization... we are all greek together as they say ;)

I hope that didnt sound mean...i didnt mean it to be..just telling my 2 pennys worth of the story....LOL
:D

At UCF, I prefer those Kappa Sigma men. Well, actually, just one in particular. ;) :D

all the fraternities mentioned above are not even at my school!!

right now, my greek system is going through some major changes, my sorority used to be pretty much exclusive with a specific fraternity, but now we as the girls are spreading out, and the guys are looking at the other options available to them as well. Its strange to see "my" boys hanging out with the Sigma Sigma Sigmas or the Alpha Sigma Taus (the other two sororities on campus)

But you can tell the "older" greeks - they still sick with the old groupings

i have my favorites, but i'll always socialize with everyone!

If i wasn't dating my boyfriend (for over a year and a half) i would definately go for a Sigma Chi guy.

Sorry- Didn't mean to leave you FIU kids out- I honestly wasn't sure if Florida International had a Greek system, or not, so I guess I just didn't think about it- sorry! What are your sororities and fraternities, there?

yay! FIU
 

Suprisingly enough for a commuter school we have a HUGE greek system and an even bigger support system from the University...
almost EVERY campus event is Filled with greeks....

They are even builiding fraternity houses on campus so far the only one up is the Fiji house, but Pike and Sammy already have broke ground for their houses to be built, sororities dont get houses, some stupid brothel law or something and we arent going to be getting suites for a long time....

FIU is trying to move away from the commuter school image and is trying to grow more and more, we are only about 30 years old...(the school that is)
so theykeep building more and more housing... and of course the fraternity houses

as for greeks
the sororities here are:
Phi Mu
AOPi
DPhiE
Phi Sigma Sigma
Tri Sigma
AXiD
Sigma Lambda Gamma
Omega Beta Phi (a local)

Fraternitys:
TKE
PIKE
Fiji
LambdaChi
Phi Sigma Kappa
AEPi
Pi Kappa Phi
SigEp
Sammy
Phi Kappa Sigma
Beta Kappa Gamma
Lambda Theta Phi

and NPHC we have:
Alpha Phi Alpha
Alpha Kappa Alpha
Kappa Alpha Psi
Delta Sigma Theta
Phi Beta Sigma
Zeta Phi Beta
Omega Psi Phi
Sigma Gamma Rho

pretty huge actually compared to alot of schools and we are only a "commuter school" at first i was kind uneasy about going to FIU but i LOVE it...its like a big family...everyone knows each other...

:D ok i feel better now that i was included ;) LOL

Well if your asking about good Fraternities at FSU because of your name then look at Sigma Chi, SAE, ATO and SigEp. LXA is also good at FSU from what i hear as well.

FSU
 

Reference the above entry from 'UNFSigmaChi', the SAE's have been gone for nearly two years. Lambda Chi is good but not a leader. The top (prestige) fraternities at FSU are the Pikes, ATOs, Sig Eps, Sigma Chi and Pi Kappa Phi - in no particular order.

I thought SAE was still active at FSU, my bad. I can't stand the PIKES at any college in FL. Pi kapps at FSU are kinda sketchy to me....i was there last fall and they were washing each other in the front of the house with speedo's on......Pi kapps at UNF dont get along with any fraternity here and not many sororities like them either. I really liked the ATO's at FSU i met though. They have a good house.

I just thought I would give the inside track from Canada. First of all YES! *gasp* Up north we DO have sororities/Fraternites. I'm sure a lot of you are aware of them! I am a part of a local Sorority .
Our Chapters in Ottawa at Carleton University are:
Frats:
ACACIA
Sigma Pi
Beta Theta Pi
Phi Delta Theta
TKE-Tau Kappa Epsilon
Phi Kapps

To agree with another. Phi Kapp's are not really well liked here. And although we love ever one Fraternity (some more than others) I must say that the two most popular fraternities to date are ACACIA and Sigma Pi.

I tend to think this thread needs to end.

yeah...
 

Yeah, the speedo thing is during initiation or for a crush or spring fling- The way Sig Ep dresses up like pirates for it's. II K A is really, really good here- Fraternity of the yr, biggest, highest GPA, most athletes, etc- Too bad you've had such a bad experience w/ them, they're good guys, although their "Frat boy" imae sometimes suggests othewise...

Well my chapter doesnt have a preference to any in particular. We love everyone!! :) But i personally have a specific liking to a specific Sig Ep

SoExcited, I was wondering what you're in.....For some reason I seem to be recalling that you are in AXO? Am I correct??

yup
 

Yup, I'm Alpha Chi all the way, AXWhoah! :)

hey so excited,
i PMd you!!
I am an FSU alpha chi too!!
litb!
love
ashley

Gotta love those TKE's!
