Betas at UBC: Yes they are pretty boys, but the ones I know are very nice and lots of fun (my cousin is a Beta). They are one of the top fraternities at UBC (along with Sigma Chi and Kappa Sig). As far as Kappa Sig goes I don't know them that well but they are a very strong on our campus and seem like pretty decent guys.
I'm closest with Sigma Chi and Phi Delta Theta: Sigma Chi is pretty popular, good looking, fun group of guys, very involved in campus politics. The Phi Delts are among the smaller fraternities, but are still a very strong chapter and a great group of guys to hang around with. Deke recently shut down and has just rechartered due to major internal problems, but from what I'veheard they are on the upswing. Psi U is pretty much gone, Fijis are the trouble makers. Alpha Delts are small, but again a good group of guys and excell at sports. And there is a new fraternity AEPi who have just colonized, so I don't know much about them, but they will be part of IFC Rush this fall.
