Texas Greeks

[dzandiloo]

Kitso-
That was a little uncalled for, wasn't it? Although I am not a Red Raider fan & thought the goal-post incident was pretty silly, it's unnecessary for you to start name-calling on this board, where Heaz was looking for legitimate feedback about the chapters on her campus. I don't think that Aggies need to resort to such antics to show pride in their alma mater. Of course, I'm sure you meant it all in fun, but its a little out of place here.


Heaz-
I have heard a little bit about the Greeks (sororities, that is) at Tech-but it is pretty general. I don't really know reputations, but my understanding is that all of the 11 groups are at or very near total, with several chapters being well over total. Fall recruitment is extremely competitive. I think the largest groups have close to 200 members (I understand that ZTA, DDD, KKG and PiPhi are the largest), and the smaller groups are around 100-or-so members from what I hear (that is a low estimate...it is hard for me to imagine that as small).

This is not to say the smaller groups are not strong--I think all of the groups are competitive. I took my kids trick-or-treating on Greek Circle last year, and although all houses were welcoming, the DGs seemed the most enthusiastic. I hear APhi is extremely active on campus & has been recognized for years as the best student organization (or something like that). Pi Phi seems very supportive of other organizations.... Other than that, I have no personal exposure to the groups. The system is well regarded nationally for having stable groups & strong results during formal recruitment. I went to Beta 500 last fall, and all of the sororities were well represented & seemed pretty enthusiastic...

I have heard little about the fraternities, but a friend is dating a Beta, and they seem to be pretty huge & active.

I know nothing about NPHC groups at Tech.
