What are the elite fraternities

What are some of the big name fraternities that are well-respected and organized but know how to have a good time as well??

I've always heard the best things about Sigma Chi. They have really good connections that will help you once you graduate and have a good reputation on campus. Also, I've had the best time at every Sigma Chi party & mixer that I've attended. I hope I helped a bit.

Brandon--Kappap Sigma is the BEST fraternity!!

[GregFIJI]

HMMMMMM

Anyone a little biased?

#1, Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) is the #1 fraternity there is. But, if secrecy isn't your deal, then here are a few chapters that I can think of that you should look into.

Phi Gamma Delta
Pi Kappa Alpha
Pi Kappa Phi
Delta Tau Delta
Kappa Sigma

Any other questions?

Delta Chi

I have been a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha
International Fraternity for almost 3 years. Our
leadership conferences are a step above the rest I
believe. The workshops we attend pay off very much
once the officers return to their chapters.
Much is learned from the facilitators and
instructors. But dont get me wrong, we definitely
get our partying in as well. We also have a digital
website that our secretary and other officers use to
fill out paper work, and to have any of our questions
answered. I beleive currently that we are the 3rd
largest international fraternity. If anyone can argue with
that lets hear it.

In my personal experience, I have found the gentlemen of Sigma Chi to be one of the best fraternities around. The men in the chapter at my school excelled in academics, intramural sports and threw great parites. In fact my sorority had one of our best exchanges with them. I hope this info. helps you!

If you want to join an organization that not only one of the largest, second to be exact, but one that gives you all you need in life, a ritual that is meaniful and brothers that are your best friends, and good party, check out Sigma Chi. It won't be hard to find a local chapter, were at every school.

[GregFIJI]

You should try to find a fraternity that you fit in with...not one that boasts because they are the second largest.

Oh, the Sig's on my campus are about to lose their charter because of hazing. They started with a pledge class of 31, and they were down to 9 pledges 3 weeks before school finished this semester.

I'm glad all of you are proud of your groups but how about a REAL answer for Brandon...

It all depends on where you live and where you go to school. I can tell you that on my campus is was always TKE and DU... neither have been mentioned. Other campuses it may be Kappa Sigma or Sigma Chi. Its important to look at all the fraternities available to you and investigate to see where you would fit best. I will tell you though that its rare that none of them would be fun to join!

hey Brandon not to sound snotty or anything, but if you are so interested in fraternities at your school why don't you rush? There is no law that says if you go through rush that you have to pledge a fraternity? Just go and see what they are like, that's what it's there for.

And not to turn you off or anything because I am greek and for me it's been everything I wanted it to be, but you might find that after rushing you might not want to be apart of the greek system at your school??? Just something to think about...

Respectfuly,

what are the big fraternities at boston university?

[SilverTurtle]

Brandon,

Something else you can do is go to boston university's website & look under student organizations or greek life.

vtqt had the best suggestion- go through rush.. see where YOU fit in, if anywhere. And have a good time.

Brandon,

As others have said go through rush, but it seems to me you are a little too caught up with reputation and the national organization. The one thing I think you need to realize is that chapters vary from campus to campus and the reputation at each is always changing. I got bids and had friends interested in rushing me at all the BIG name frats at UC Berkeley. But I chose a mid tier fraternity on the rise who had the type of people I knew I could be lifetime friends and brothers with. I felt the people were most important and what they stood for. Not only are we the most diverse house on campus with one of the largest pledge classes last semester. We also are the only fratnerity to have created our own national philanthropy PUSH America which rasies money and awareness for the Handicaped. Join somewhere you think that you can contribute also. I want add to the tradition of Gamma Chapter - Pi Kappa Phi's longest continous running chapter, so the semester after pledging I am taking on the responsiblity of Co-social chair. Which is actually pretty stressful cause PiKapp's love to Party. I hope this advice was helpful and like the others said go through rush it's the only way to know which is right for you.

well, thanks for the advice. i am goin to college in the next year and i was just wondering what fraternities are at boston university, the college i want to go to. thank you all for the good advice.
