FSU Greeks
Blaire, FSU has 14 Pan-Hel sororities, and all the traditionally Black national sororities, plus several of what's called "multicultural" sororities, generally meaning Hispanic emphasis. The Sorority system here dates back to the turn of the century. The houses are mostly imposing, colonial mansions on quiet, tree lined streets. The sororities all built their own houses, mostly during the 1930s and 1940s. Delta Zeta has a huge chapter with many prominent alumni, including FSU's Vice President for University Relations. She is also a former state legislator from Polk County. Delta Zeta's house is directly across from the heart of campus. They rennovated and expanded the house maybe twenty years ago, and it is a giant, columned behemoth occupying one entire corner lot. Delta Zeta is a powerful and influential force in Tallahassee.
The FSU fraternities are only about fifty years old, and housing is not good. However, a new fraternity row is under construction. We should have some of the most beautiful fraternity houses in the south soon. There are probably 20 or so IFC fraternities, plus all the traditional Black fraternity chapters, and several multicultural chapters.
Most people consider the leaders to be us, the ATOs, Sigma Chi, Pi Kappa Phi, Phi Delt, Lambda Chi and Sigma Phi Epsilon. Those are not the only good fraternities, just the names that are most familiar. Pikes have the biggest chapter (150), the highest grades and the most varsity athletes.
