I'm looking for a fraternity where the guys are pretty athletic. I played most of the Varsity sports in high school, and even if I decide not to play intramurals or club ball, I like talking to guys who like and understand sports. Does anyone know any good fraternities there who have this quality, but the guys are intelligent also?
Thanks!

I would tell you to look into Alpha Epsilon Pi. The chapter is refounded but still has a history at Austin back to 1939. The reason why I recommended it to you is that you can get the Jewish environment (the only Jewish fraternity nationally actually), the rich history, the strong national expansion (25% increase in chapters in the last 4 years) and the ability to come in and make a difference.
You can pull in guys like you - the athletic guys, the smart guys and you will be a part of something bigger. You won't be just following - just signing up with whomever and forgetting about your experience after 4 years, you'd be leading and joining something you will enjoy for a lifetime.
