<p>Hey everyone, I'm a freshman coming to Cornell in the fall. This is similar to the Delta Phi thread that was started earlier. One of my friends is in FIJI at Cornell and he told me that I should check them out and maybe join during rush week. Can anyone tell me any info on FIJI? Reputation? Good social life? Good parties? Mingle with good sororities? etc. Thanks.</p>
<p>good rep, falls into the middle tier. wide range and diverse mix of guys. great open parties.</p>
<p>biggest house but looks more like a dorm because of all the rooms. huge parties, the only athletes i know in there are rugby guys</p>
<p>CMB720 and everyone else what about their rep on campus? what are they known as?</p>
<p>agreed. top half. theyre pretty diverse, youre definitely right about that. theyre not your "suit and tie" kind of guys, theyre a little more laid back than that. they have some pretty big open parties. id say at the end of the average freshman's 1st year at cornell theyve been at fiji at some point.</p>
<p>i heard they have crazy hazing, some guy wrote an article about how bad it was, it was anonymous but people found out. but maybe they toned it down.</p>
<p>they are pretty popular to freshman because of all the parties.</p>
<p>I have friends who pledged fiji this year... deff hazing. Plus some interesting pre-pledging experiences which could be considered hazing. But I mean, basically every decent frat hazes.</p>
<p>I would disagree and say bottom half of the fraternity pecking order in the eyes of the 5 sororities worth mixing with. A lot of ex-rugby players.</p>
<p>when i say top half i dont mean its in the top portion, but id say that about 50% are better and 50% are worse. i really only go there (went, actually) for open parties. not my favorite house to mix with though, because some guys are a little shady there.</p>
<p>I disagree with you. I think they are in the top 15 of fraternities.
If any of you new freshmen are wondering, I would say the top 15 houses are (in no particular order):
SAE
Psi U
Alpha Delt
Sigma Pi
Sigma Chi
Sigma Phi
Chi Phi
Chi Psi
DU
FIJI
Phi Psi
Sig Nu
Delta Chi
Phi Tau
that is 14 right there and I guess for #15 I would say ZBT or Pike or whatever other houses mix with DG, Theta, Alpha Phi, Kappa, etc. but I don't think I left any top houses out of the top 15. anyone else wanna add any?</p>
<p>also, therealstory, which sorority are you in? i'm guessing its probably one of the 5 mentioned above. correct?</p>
<p>SPANKS, what do you think about FIJI? what is their rep? are they in the upper 1/2 in terms of rep?</p>
<p>my guess - spanks is in aephi</p>
<p>Edit: No offense if you're not... just from reading past posts.</p>
<p>Edit the Edit: she probably can't, and won't tell us where either.</p>
<p>also, edit that list I posted above and remove Phi Tau and replace it with Theta Drug.</p>
<p>also, I think Spanks is in AXO</p>
<p>im not saying what im in. but actually youre wrong. im in none of the above.</p>
<p>so I'm guessing your in tr-delt, which my gf is in, or Pi Phi or SDT.</p>
<p>im just saying no to everything haha. so again, im in none of the above. but yea, i think zbt/tep is a good addition to that list. also those houses mix with the majority of sororities, which is what makes them good houses. they mix with most, other than aopi, axid, and possibly kd.</p>
<p>zbt > tep, i'd say</p>
<p>if you guys wan't to figure out what house I'm in, I think I've posted it before, so happy stalking. </p>
<p>What do I think about Fiji?</p>
<p>I'd say they're in the middle, in terms of reputation. They probably fall right outside the "top 15", somewhere between 16 and 20. Personally, I think the guys in there are fun and have never had a bad time there. They have good open parties and lots of champagne at mixers, which is a plus.</p>
<p>agreed. less sketch.</p>
<p>how is alpha sigma phi / rockledge?</p>
<p>I agree with Spanks his post is pretty accurate. They are good but def not top. Low end of top 15 or a lil outside.</p>
<p>I've only been to rockledge once for a party n it was pretty kickass. They had a band on the main floor and a dj on the bottom floor (which was def awesome). Bar was one of the slowest I've ever been to tho. But fun night nonetheless!</p>
