* South Carolina.
* University of Alabama.
* Auburn University.
* P.S. We get do-overs on campuses we were strong on then got booted off of: (expl: Florida, Georgia, Vandy, LSU)

Sidenote: Arkansas you say is not bottom tier, so I'd assume they aren't horrible. Well, they have only been back on campus for like 2 years maybe? So they weren't horrible for 5 to 10 years.

Sigma Nu at Ole Miss was the only one that came to mind.

I'm pretty sure Sigma Nu's not Old Row at Bama, though. Could be wrong, but thought Old Row was DKE, Phi Gam, KA, and SAE.

They've been on campus for longer than 2 years. I'd like to say it's been about 5 years or so now. They just got their house last year. In the beginning, they were highly questionable and weren't very selective. Especially when I first came on campus. Wooh boy. They've turned it around alot though.

FYI, you're wrong. Old Row at Bama: KA, SAE, DKE, Sigma Nu, Phi Gam, and I think Phi Delt (could be wrong on Phi Delt).

Not giving you the tiers, just the Old Row fraternities.

Sigma Nu is one of the strongest and most highly regarded national organizations. Sigma Nu has a four-year ethical leadership development program (LEAD) which will be very attractive to mature, ambitious men.

Suggesting "they are going to suck for 5-10 years" is foolishness. I can cite plenty of examples where that thinking is just plain wrong. Check our www.fsupikes.com, for example...

just bc you have a huge house full of 200+ brothers who dont know each other that doesnt mean that you're top tier

Easy fella. He's not an FSU Pike.

FSU Pike was underground as the "firemen" for the entire length of their suspension, that is why they are the exception. Has your chapter at Kansas been underground? I doubt that your nationals would tolerate it... from what I've heard they are some of the most controlling out of all of the IFC fraternities.

I was browsing their site and I'm surprised that their President and Rush Chairman are Hispanic... since usually "Top Tier" fraternities at competitive schools don't bid many minorities, according to most posters on greekchat.

Well than you might go ahead and venture a guess as to what I'm about to tell you.

FSU Pike isn't a top-tier house. They are good at intramurals and have a decent social calendar, but aren't what you would think of as a top-tier house. (That's my understanding at least, I don't go to FSU but I'm positive that Pike isn't usually thought of as one of their top-tier houses.)

And what ElephantWalk said is true.

Well I don't attend FSU either, but the way that post was written made it seem like it was a top chapter up there.

Maybe an FSU guy (PhiGam? if he goes to FSU) can clear it up.

I have a lot of good friends at FSU (including one in Pike). They aren't top-tier, no matter how clearly a 33 year old from Illinois with no experience with their chapter tried to insist that they were.

I don't know their exact tiers, but from my limited experience KA, Sigma Chi, Lambda Chi and Fiji all seem better than Pike. What Pike has going for them is that they do well in intramurals and have ungodly huge numbers (to the point that brothers don't know who other brothers are), not top-tier in the traditional sense.
