I go to KU. Formal recruitment was this past weekend, but here's my take in case anyone still wants it.
Yes, anyone who has a house has a pretty big/nice one. Many of the houses are really impressive.
My house had a party with Sigma Nu last semester and a few of them subsequently made appearances at our formal. Good group of guys, and I see this chapter becoming strong once they get their numbers up. Also one of the CLEANEST fraternity houses I've been in!
My understanding is that Delta Tau Delta is taking their house back this year. TKE had been renting it from the Delts, but they got their numbers up enough to support a house. Not sure what's happening to TKE...
I'm pretty confident that Lambda Chi Alpha doesn't haze-- really. Upperclassmen regularly participate in BADD duty and they have "associate members" instead of pledges. But I'm a girl, so obviously I can't be 100% certain. I do, however, know of some other houses that definitely haze (at least in my definition). Again, that's to the best of my knowledge.
Beta Theta Pi routinely has the highest gpa, usually by a pretty large margin.
I have a lot more comments, but most of them would be unfair speculation, so I'll shut up.
