Whos the most underrated frat./soro. on your campus
 

Seeing that there are some fraternities and soroities on campuses that do alot around campus and party hard but just dont get the recognition they deserve I want to know who is the most underrated fraternity and soroity on your campus.....?

on UMD it would have to be

AOPI - when the time is right these girls can throw down and they also have a great bond with each other (from what I see) compared to other soros but dont get enough recognition....



dont know about fraternities...

i have to say my sorority
although i think now we're getting tons of recognition on campus

Delta Sig.......

We throw awesome parties, we did all that stuff last semester, and hopefully we'll have a good rush. But, yes, the greeks here don't give us much credit.....for now.....

On my campus

most underated sorority is Phi Sigma Sigma

most underated frats are Sigma Pi, Phi Sigma Kappa and Delta Chi

RC

At kent state the DU's are the most underrated, but last semester we won most improved, dsigstan, how are the DU's at your school?

I'd say that the most underrated fraternity on my campus is Mu Chapter of Phi Kappa Tau. Great bunch of guys, always in there doing the right thing. I love each & every one of 'em.

Most underrated on Pitt's campus.... for fraternitiess (at least when I was there) probably Sig Ep. There's a few of the bigger houses on campus that just seem to dominate (although they're not necessarily "better"), but Sig Eps have always been really nice guys. Lord knows I appreciate that more.

For sororities I would say DPhiE, it seems like their house has really made a lot of changes in the past two years and done a lot of great things.

in my opinion, i think kappa delta is underrated at sdsu. sd is very superficial, so they are not even given a chance...but they are a lot of fun.
i think that a lot of fraternities are underrated too. of course i think mine is, but we are coming out of it because we had 14 months of probation and it's hard to get our name out there...
i also think that if you are kappa sig, sigma chi, or phi kap you are OVERrated.

Well, can't get on a guy for telling the truth.............

@ Platteville I would say FarmHouse is totally underrated -- they don't get as much respect as AGR but they're awesome guys, have a super brotherhood, take pride in their house, and have great parties! Sorority wise, I'd say Gamma Phi is far and away the most underrated - people won't mix with us because we have alcohol rules and we've been "about to close" for the last 10 years.

For the Sororities I think Delta Gamma is probably pretty underrated. They've got some cute girls, they seeme to always have a fair number on the Senior Honoraries. And when they were our homecoming partners they were a ton of fun.

For Fraternities, socially I'd say it would be my chapter. In other categories, I guess probably AGS, they seem to be doing some good stuff over there on east campus.

om my campus the most underrated sorority was Phi Mu. during our last mixers the guys kept telling us we were so much fun and kept asking why we never did anything with them before....had to tell them that it was their borthers that refused to hang out with us.

the most underrated fraternity has got to be Phi Kappa Theta...they are so much fun and no one ever seemed o want to rush them. i'm so glad they just keep building and getting quality men to join now

I would have to say that at my school Kappa Delta Rho and Theta Chi are the most underrated frats on campus. They come off to alot of people as"lame" or "ruffnecks". People think their parties are lame and so are the brothers. I think they are a great bunch of guys. I have no complants..they seem pretty nice and look like they have alot of fun. As for the ladies, Alpha Sigma Tau are VERY underrated. They seem to have a good bond and sisterhood but alot of people look at the "looks" of these girls and think otherwise. :(

The most underrated sorority on our campus is Phi Sigma Sigma. They have a great sisterhood and are so close, but for superficial reasons, they get shafted. For fraternities, Delta Kappa Epsilon is. But, they've had a reputation to live down due to the previous go-round with their chapter. They'll get there.

I have not been part of my chapter for very long, but it seems as though Phi Sig at FAU seems to be underrated. I have heard from sisters, that we arent as prominant as others. We do have highest greek GPA and have the best retention rate of the sororities. I am no expert, but from what I have seen as well, we are underrated.
I was sad to see that quite a few Phi Sig chapters were mentioned here, but at least some people are noticing us! Hehe.

Most underrated fraternity on campus--probably Lambda Chi

Whats up with the Phi Sig's being UNDERrated!! Step up girls...hehe :confused:

It amazes me how many people chose their own house. I guess it is because you always want people to see your house as you see it. I wonder if anyone is completely satisfied with how their campus views their house?

Anyway I would say and university of Missouri, Zeta iand Alpha Chi are the most underated. For the guys I wouldn't know where to begin awards wise I think KA should have recieved some, socially their are alot of great houses that get over looked like Phi Kap, and then of course Evans Scholars gets left out of everything sometimes by choice. Its hard with more than 20 houses ranging in size from 10 to over 100, you can pick out what people feel to be the top and everyone else just kinda gets lost in there even if they are a terrific house. Oh and Phi MU and LXA are doing an amazing job of coming back to campus and I think sometimes people forget how young their houses are on campus and how amazing they are doing!

I think at Eastern Mich the most underrated sorority is our local, Sigma Nu Phi. These girls at their LARGEST the 5 years I've been here were at 12, not too long ago too they dominated the campus. They were the first sorority here on campus. The girls are really really sweet and try so hard to be a strong sorority and people just don't give them a fair shake b/c they are local and they have kinda a "geeky" reputation. But these girls cheer for everyone at every event, they are at every event they can be at, they have good grades, they're fun girls; hell their advisor owns the bar near campus that holds our greek nights! They also have terriffic sisterhood.

For fraternities, I think the most underrated is PSK. These guys are so nice and fun and they are all really good guys that I, at least, feel I can really trust more than a lot of other chapters on campus. They are really fun and sometimes pretty wild, but it's nothing that isn't totally harmless. I'd have to say if something happened to me and I needed to go to a house for help, they would be one of the first I'd choose to go to.

By far at Clarion the most underrated sororities are TPA, just because of thier size, they have 12 members I think, and most people don't even know they exist. and AKA and ZPhiB and I'm not really sure why, I know they do alot, they are great women.

The Fraternities it's harder to say. I mean underrated by whom the school, the greek community, other students? I'd have to say the most underrated fraternities would have to be Phi Mu Alpha, Theta Chi, and my chapter.

ATOTerp, I find that VERY interesting because when I went to UMD years ago, I would have considered AOP at the bottom of the first/top tier of sorority houses. I ALWAYS considered them one of the best.

Are they in the decline? Any sororities on the rise at UMD?

Interesting how many people are naming their own GLOs...

I will follow suit and say that AEPhi is the most underrated sorority at my school. We do just as much as the other four, raise just as much $ for our philanthropies, have just as strong an academic program (I think my chapter has always exceeded all-sorority GPA and has had the highest sorority GPA for a couple of semesters), have a strong sisterhood... but we're small. We started from a small local sorority - there were only 10 of us when we were colonized. The chapter has since grown to around 30-35. But the other sororities have around 90-100 members, so PNMs see one sorority glaringly smaller than the others, think something's wrong with us, and cut us at the first opportunity. :(

Back when we were a local, it was even worse. We were derided for not being a "real" (read: national) sorority. We got this from independents, PNMs, members of other sororities (how panhellenic of them :rolleyes: ) and even from our Greek Life Advisor! :mad:

</bitch-session> :)

For the fraternities, I'd say probably ZBT. Great guys, but their house is very far from campus and I think that hurts their visibility, especially during rush ("why should I live all the way out there and have to drive in every day when I can live in a fraternity house right on campus?")

I definately have to agree with you in saying that AXO is an underrated house. They are one of my absolute favorite sororities on our campus. I think they are fabulous and they have amazing talented women, but they just get overlooked a lot. :( I think as far as fraternities I would also agree, Phi Kap is a fun house but you just don't hear about them as often as someone like Beta. I also personally think the guys of AKL are wonderful as well. :)

at slu, the most underrated sorority is probably DG. They have probably the best philanthropy event on campus (Anchor Splash), and really know how to have a good time. as far as fraternities, Delta Sigma Phi, they are a great group of guys!

The St. Louis Chapter (Phi) of Delta Sigma Phi, won a considerable amount of awards at Convention. I pmed you SLU :)

Um, wow, that was so incredibly nice of you.... we've been saying that for the past two years but coming from you it doesn't feel like a pity party, lol....

I'd have to agree that we've placed highly in events and stuff and completely gotten the shaft sometimes, but hey that's greek life, isn't it??:rolleyes:

For the record, you Phi Mu ladies have definitely been staking your claim in Greek territory. Congratulations.:)

A-Phi Bubbles I really have to agree about A E Pi being underrated at our school... I have to DISAGREE that it is because they are historically "jewish" though... although the A E Pi chapter on our campus does have mainly jewish brothers... not ALL of them are. I think this happens to them because of their size. They don't have as many brothers as the other two and they JUST got their charter very recently... so people just kinda shove them to the side as "not a real fraternity" since they are still establishing themselves. They are definitely fun to hang out with though... and the guys are really smart and well just nice...

As for sororities... I'd have to say that each of the three have something to offer and we each have our distinct personalities and *mostly* get recognized for the things we do... but I mean really NO greek org. on our campus gets the respect that we deserve, I mean honestly really only the greeks know about greeks on our campus... none of us really have a reputation outside the system... the rest of the campus could care less...

"ATOTerp, I find that VERY interesting because when I went to UMD years ago, I would have considered AOP at the bottom of the first/top tier of sorority houses. I ALWAYS considered them one of the best.

Ohh no they are still one of the top soro. next to the other two but they dont get recognized as much as the "other two" as they should.....Im trying to stay away from names ;)

well I havent started at UT yet so I dont know, but at my last college Pi Kapp was pretty underrated. They had a kickass foam and mardi gras party one year that was a really good time. Sorority wise I would say either Kappa or Sigma Kappa, most of the attention went to DG, Alpha Xi and Alpha Phi so they got overlooked a lot.

i think there are a couple on my campus; sig kap, alpha phi, and zta (which i'm a member of); i think its really hard to truly understand what an org is all about if you're not a part of it

On my campus:

The most underrated sorority is probably Gamma Phi. They have so many amazing girls and really do a good job at everything but get no recognition as an organization - although a fair number of individuals in their chapter get a lot of attention.

The most underrated fraternity... hmm... i have to think about this one! Possibly Delta Chi, really sweet guys in that fraternity although I don't know too many of them.

This is just such an awesome thread. Becasue what some of you are saying are the "underrated" houses on your campuses are definitely the top dogs on mine! LOL

On my campus Phi Mu is the most underrated. (And I'm not just saying that becuase it's my house!) Seriously, we get told so often that we are great girls by the guys who know us, but it's hard to break our old-campus image of being geeks. But we're stepping up and changing our image!!! The top sorority on our campus is probably AXO. (WE have AXO, DZ, Phi Mu and Phi Sigma Sigma)

The most underrated frat on campus is prolly PKT. They get seen as the "friends" a little too often. And they ARE great guys, and they're coming into their own now too. The top frat was ATO for a while, but they got kicked off campus for a LOT of reasons, but now I think SigEp has usurped their position.

I think the most underrated fraternity on our campus is Pi Kapp. They are the greatest guys, and have the highest GPA, but they get written off by guys because they're new and don't have a house yet. My best friend is one, and I've seen nothing but changes for the better since he joined. All the guys I've met have been awesome.

Funny story about the one guy that kinda made me raise my eyebrow, and go "Boy, do YOU fit the stereotype." My friend and I were heading out of Starbucks, which is right next to a bar and grill, and we passed one of his brothers coming out of work. We asked him what he was up to, and he pointed at the bar and said, "Beer." The tone of voice, look on his face, and just the sheer determination of his walk toward the bar made me picture him in an 80's or 90's party movie wearing a toga.

We are until next semester. Booya!

It's a pretty similar situation at my alma mater, even though over 1/3 of the campus was in a GLO!!!:cool:

I'll join the trend and say that my chapter was probably the most underrated at my school, because we have always been so small. We'll return numbers in the fall of about 20-25, where other orgs are returning about 35-45 members. We've also been consistently "underachieving" in formal recruitment (because a lot of us have been very uncomfortable in those highly pressurized, "scripted" recruitment parties), but when it comes to COR, we consistently compete (and usually match or beat) some of the more prestigious chapters on campus. I love my chapter because it's so down to earth, but a lot of the fraternities would look at our numbers and would refuse to do anything with us (also, on our campus, you had to book your Homecoming/Greek Weekend partners WAYYYYY in advance to even have a party for those weekends...in the past, we were always the odd man out, but in the recent past a few of the other sororities weren't being partnered up with anyone) and we've also done the same number of hours of community service and other things that the other chapters have done, WITH less numbers than they have.

Fraternities on our campus are all pretty well-known....the Phi Sigs on our campus have struggled in numbers, as have the Phi Delts, but for the most part they've all maintained pretty good reputations (while Sig Eps and Phi Psis battle it out while living next door to one another)!

im gonna say DZ is the most underrated sorority... they are great girls but for some reason they dont get the attention they deserve.

as for fraternities, id say sigma nu is underrated... it seems to just have started happening in the last yr, from what i can tell. but they deff had the best philantrophy events and are always really nice guys. yep, sigma nu deserves a lot more then they get

As it is hardly a closely guarded state secret that DEKES are often viewed as somewhat outrageous, are you sure that the chapter was trying to live down its reputation, or perhaps trying to live up to it?
Seriously, was this a recent brush with the administration? I am more used to visiting exceptionally strong chapters and must confess to occasional bouts of arrogance on my own part. I try not to take it all too seriously, but the thought of a DEKE chapter swathed in humility is a marvel to consider. If you have a spare few minutes would you please PM me with any details you might share as to chapter location and what was the problem? Many thanks.

You know i never really think about being overrated or underated. I really don't know how other houses see eachother, and ususally i'm too busy with my own house to notice what other houses are doing. Doesn't really come down to who you are asking anyway.

There are a number of underrated organizations here, for a lot of different reasons. Among the sororities:

- Delta Gamma; they are perennially one of the most involved groups on campus and one of the biggest sororities, and although they are popular, they don't get the recognition that a couple of the other big sororities get. The UW Homecoming Queen has been a DG four out of the past five or six years, a lot of their members are really involved with things on campus, and they have never come off as anything other than classy and fun.
- Kappa Alpha Theta; academically, philanthropically, and sisterhood-wise they are very strong. Name a Greek activity and the Thetas always go all out. I've worked with a number of them on Dance Marathon and they are great girls.
- Alpha Phi; they put so much work into recruitment and it is starting to pay off. Until recently even I didn't know how many girls they had -- I thought they were 3/4 the size that they actually are. For the most part they are incredibly down-to-earth and also really involved on campus.
- Tri Delta (of course) ;)

Among the fraternities, I'm less sure, but I can say for certain that Alpha Delta Phi, Zeta Psi, AEPi and Acacia deserve to be up there.
