<p>Being involved in Greek life does not make you a bad person. It also does not make you an idiot, alcoholic, drug addict, etc. I have met people involved in Greek life that are just fine. I was assigned to work in a group that had a girl in a sorority and we did an excellent job. She is a nice, smart, and helpful individual. </p>

<p>If you want to partake in Greek life, go right ahead. Have a good time. If you don’t want to participate in it, then don’t. Being involved in Greek life does not make you better than someone who is not in Greek life (nor does it make you worse). Everyone has his or her own interests and opinions. </p>

<p>ThisIsMichigan is right when he states that Greek life is easily avoidable. The most I hear about Greek life is from this thread.</p>

<p>I once read a previous fraternity ranking thread on this forum that said that one group used to run the school. No group of students runs the school. This is not high school. There is not a “popular” or “cool” crowd. Michigan has well over 20,000 undergraduates. It is extremely unlikely that you will ever meet anywhere close to all of them. Once you declare your major, you start to see the same group of about 50-150 people over and over again. </p>

<p>I want to second all of 777Blue77’s post, but this is particularly accurate. </p>

23

<p>It almost feels like Greek life is for the students that want to continue to live in that high school social structure world. A big portion of your high school comes here and you just try keep that going. </p>

<p>Wayne, I’m completely secure. I’m wrapping up my 4th year here. I made a ton of friends, got great grades, had fun and am walking out with a great job. And I did that all without Greek life impacting my life in any way. </p>

<p>Maybe if you are within that minority of campus you think you are bigger than you really are. But the rest of campus couldn’t care less what you do.</p>

<p>ThisisMichigan is always insecure, but I don’t really sense it in this thread in particular.</p>

<p>What’s your take on the frat stuff, bearcats?</p>

26

<p>You just intimidate me so much bearcats… I can’t help it. </p>

<p>FRAT RANKINGS</p>

<p>There are two categories for the frats: on campus houses and off campus houses</p>

<p>Best On Campus Houses:</p>

<p>Phi Kappa Psi (PHI PSI)</p>

<p>A solid group of guys, mix with the hottest girls on campus. Their house is located right next to ZBT and is across from Oxford housing. It’s an average Frat house, nothing special though. Their parties are hit and miss and some girls complain they just watch the brothers play beer pong during bar pregames. The majority of the brothers are rich out of staters mostly east and west coasters. Bring your A game in beer pong for Rush. Pledging is averagely hard.</p>

<p>Pi Kappa Alpha (PIKE)</p>

<p>If you like to party, you’re going to want to rush here. They have the best party room on campus, and their house, known as the “Pike Castle”, is second only to SAE. The mix with the top tier sororities on campus but also maintain good relations with former top tiers AXO and Skrappa. They are known for late-nights this year after being on sopro a good part of the first semester. They have a nice mix of Michigan and out of staters. They are known to be very cocky and full of themselves though and rumors of brotherhood problems are always leaking. Be fratty during rush. Pledging is supposedly solid, not too much not too little.</p>

<p>Theta Chi</p>

<p>Have a good location but their house isn’t that good for parties. Big on drugs and are pretty big potheads. Hang out with a great variety of girls in addition to the hot ones. Pregamed with alpha phi this year. Had good pregames. They rent houses around the main house created the “ox box.” Hazing is said to be not so easy. A Lot of maryland, new york and coast kids. A weird mix of stoners, socially awkward kids and cool normal kids. Lot of people wonder why they are so popular but they are.</p>

<p>Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPI)</p>

<p>The most jewish house on campus. Have an absolutely horrible house. It’s a converted apartment building, and their parties happen in the basement which get sweaty and disgusting within minutes of the party starting. The location is also bad, its up past Oxford Housing. Have a bunch of good guys and a decent amount of outcasts as well. A mix of guys who scream Zionist Jew and normal jewish guys. Mix mostly with Jewish Sororites but have been attempting to get in good relations with the other sororities. If you’re an attractive enough jewish guy and want a bid with easy pledging do aepi. Although their pledging is getting worse as the years go on. They have a huge pledge class which means there are usually clichés within the pledge class. If you are Jewish you will be stopping here during rush no doubt.</p>

<p>Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI)</p>

<p>A nice well rounded group of guys. Mostly old lax bros from the east coast. They are pretty athletic and this year they competed against SAE in the mudbowl and even though they lost they still beat a number of other frats during playoffs. They are known as the boy scouts on campus. They do tons of charity events. There is never chatter about FIJI parties on campus though. They hang out with AXO mostly. They have a awesome house across from pike and near Alpha Phi but don’t make use of it. Their rush is pretty casual and they have a easy pledge term.</p>

<p>Sigma Alpha Mu (SAMMY)</p>

<p>They have a good house, parties held in basement. Next door to pike. Pretty average on all fronts, lower than aepi in terms of jewish frats. Solid group of guys, hang out a lot with SDT and Chi-o. A little shorter and less attractive than aepi but still mostly average jewish looking kids. Hazing is pretty bad and supposedly a big time commitment. Throw a pretty good football pre game but the spot is a little far away from most of the action.</p>

<p>Other On Campus Frats:
Alpha Sig (Psi U)
Sig Ep
Chi Psi
Chi Phi
DU
–there are 36 frats on campus, the ones not listed arent very well known or very popular but may be a good fit for you</p>

<p>Best OFF Campus Houses:
These are houses that have violated the rules so many times that the university has removed their charter and they now operate independently. This is not allowed, but since these chapters own their houses, there isn’t much the university can do to make them leave. So instead, they’ve started threatening everyone who goes there to party. The new rule is that if any more than 25 girls from the same house are found at one of these houses, their sorority will be put on social probation. This was a huge problem on St. Patty’s day this year, which resulted in a lot of sororities being put on so pro.</p>

<p>SAE</p>

<p>Have the best house on campus. Great location. A very crazy group of guys, most southern frat. Hang out a lot with alpha phi and tridelt even though they aren’t on campus. They were kicked off for hazing and probably wont return anytime soon. Host mudbowl every year and are automatically in it. They were in the “Pit” this year and will be next year also. They cant have official pregame partners but girls that pregame other places always end up at the pit. They were able to rush a good group of kids this year but it will get harder and harder if they remain off campus. They haze hard and since they aren’t under control of IFC anymore there isn’t much stopping them.</p>

<p>ZBT</p>

<p>Host awesome welcome week parties on their porch and backyard. Extremely Jewish. V-necks, tight jeans, stars of David, and nice cars. A lot of New York kids. They have one of the big football pregames, attracting the Jewish girls in kappa and other top sororities. Do some joint parties with Pike since they are close to eachother. Thought they were getting back on campus this year but instead their nationals unrecognized them. They have to leave their house next year, and are now known as “OZ”. Always throw a huge St. Patricks day party. There pledging is one of the worst on campus.</p>

<p>“SIG”</p>

<p>A social club and their house is so far away from everyone. VERY long island. Lose out to rushes who want a frat that is more involved and front and center. They throw good pregames at the brownstone and hang out with the jewish sororities. Wanna be ZBT. They hang out a lot with aepi and zbt. If they had a closer house they would be better.</p>
