Nationally, the Pikes have the largest average chapter size of any fraternity, and have held that honor for many years. That doesn't necessarily make us good guys but it is one measure of enduring strength. Yes, our chapter was suspended a year at UF, but they are back now and among the leaders. My chapter at FSU was gone for years, but we are back now and are again the largest, with the best grades and the intramural championship. I think we're good guys too. I'd say that if you look at all the fraternity chapters at all the schools in Florida, with the exception of USF the Pikes are among the leaders on every single campus.

That doesn't mean you don't have a bad rap. Your perception of your chapter isn't always the same as everyone elses. For example, 5-10 years ago, my house was the redneck fraternity. Now, we have 2 guys I would consider true rednecks, and maybe half a dozen more that can even stand country music. We're still thought of that way though. One girl told another girl I know, that you can't date Lambda Chi's, they smell like manure... I got a good laugh out of that one! You get the picture?
