The Sig Ep Chapter here just got a house, they are getting there. But the Southern Fraternities like SAE, KA, Sig Nu, ATO, and Kappa Sig really won't align themselves with them.

I dunno if they do this at other schools, but the big fraternities here like to get together and throw even bigger parties between them all. That way they have more money, can buy a better venue, and get a better band.

They usually leave Sig Ep out of the loop as far as i'm aware, they got a decent amount of guys from across the mason dixie and thats looked down upon here by most fraternities.

At more then half the houses they will show you the door if you were to say you were from Michigan without letting you speak.

I wasn't going to rag on you on the issue of the Southernality of Florida. As long as you keep representing the SEC in football, I'm okay with it. Even if Tebow is the worst Heisman winner. Including Jason White.

I'm always fascinated by the Pikes at FSU. Back in the day they were definitely NOT a top tier house, and in fact were on the low end of the middle tier. I think it was when they built that house in 1970 things started to turn around for them, but even then the PDT's and SAE's were at the top of the heap when I left.

They aren't really a southern-type fraternity. Its hard to rate them, sig ep, and phi sig because while they do really well with girls they aren't very well liked by other fraternities.

Found this on Wikepedia...


In 1833 A big earthquake happened on the coast of canada, a large landmass broke off of it and floated down south thanks to currents in the Atlantic Ocean. It later found a nook right under Georgia it took snap onto and wedged itself right in and made itself at home.

Today this state is called Florida, the magnetic pull of the North is still apparent today as Canadians, old people, and men with gelled hair flood the state.

I'm not going to deny it. I don't like most of the old people, canadians, and men with gelled hair, however.

If people have problems with the posts concerning tiers at SEC fraternities then perhaps those people shouldn't read a thread asking what the best fraternities are at a given place.
Based on Oldrow.net:
TOP
KA
SAE
-
ATO
MIDDLE
Delt
AGR
Beta

Holy hell. I don't visit oldrow.net but that is WAY off. It looks like that was probably true in the 70s...maybe.

KA lost recruitment for an entire year, so they're still struggling to stay on top with about 70ish members.
SAE-yes
ATO-yes
AGR is dwindling and doesn't have real socials that I know of, with only 40ish guys. It's tough for them now that UF is getting harder to get into, and our Ag programs are being downsized.
Delt is clinging to middle tier status. I don't know what's going on with them, but they just haven't had any good rushes recently.
Beta- yes

Do not Chapters run up and down the scale of who is and who isn't?

What year and semester is it?

I don't think that when people get on here and ask about the reputations, they're genuinely taking the opinions to heart. They'd probably just like to know a little bit about what they're getting into.

Yeah, I mean obviously you have to take everything with a grain of salt, but most users here are fairly knowledgeable about GLOs and most people if they snoop around for a few minutes will figure that out. No one is going to walk onto a campus and go: Well SECDomination from GreekChat said that I should rush yall because yall are in the top tier. I mean who really wants to join a low tier fraternity when you get bid to the best?

Sorry, I am new to greekchat and I am having a hard time figuring out how to correctly post someone else's comment in my reply.

Anyway, that was comment was funny!
