Frat reputations at Penn?

<p>I saw someone did this for sororities. I'm interested in rushing and would like to know how the community views individual frats.</p>

<p>steer clear of Beta. they’re in some troubbbbbble as of late.</p>

<p>The biggest party frats are Pi Kapp, SAE, Sig EP, and Sammy
Beta is trouble (too many rapes >_>) like the previous poster said
Some of the “average” frats (in terms of partying) are Skulls and AXP
Lambda Chi Alpha and Kappa Alpha are examples of low-key frats that don’t focus as much on partying</p>

<p>Actually I’m gonna call shenanigans on this… specifically with regard to KA parties. Two years ago they had late nights every Thursday, and they still have parties on a relatively regular basis, though not quite as often as when they were in their dilapidated Locust house.</p>

<p>I’m personally a huge fan on Pi Kapp and Sammy! =) Great parties!</p>

<p>I’m a brother of Delta Upsilon, and while we’re definitely one of the more low-key fraternities on campus, we’re one of the most tight-knit. We’re also the only fraternity on campus that’s committed to no secrets and no hazing. If you want some more information, check us out at [Delta</a> Upsilon University of Pennsylvania Chapter](<a href=“http://www.dupennsylvania.com%5DDelta”>http://www.dupennsylvania.com).</p>

<p>My son just got rejected from the frat he hoped to join and is devastated. Not sure he’ll stay at Penn. Can’t seem to find a fun non_Greek party scene. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>As far as I know, the party scene revolves almost entirely around frats. Though even if you’re not in a frat, you can still go to their parties. Also, a lot of frats have rush in the fall, so there’s still a chance he could end up getting a bid somewhere</p>

<p>I think if you’re looking at the best party frats then it would have to be Pi Kapp, Pike, Beta, SAE, AEPi and Oz. SigEp is def not a huge party frat, but they do throw something every Thursday night i think. I am personally a fan of Pike since their house is great, esp the Pike basement.</p>

<p>Any group that does major events (for example performances) has a party afterward, and many groups, especially performing arts groups, throw random parties throughout the year. Parties don’t revolve exclusively around fraternities!</p>

<p>hah this is a joke, first off let me say that the rape scandal is something that is brought up by other fraternities to bring beta down - theyre cool guys and the girl dropped the charges because they were completly untrue - in terms of attracting the hottest girls - the offcampus frats are generally the best - OZ, THEOS and OWLS</p>

<p>I love how Castle was completely forgotten here- they definitely have the best parties on campus, but very exclusive so not everyone gets to get a sense of it. However, it’s fine if you’re at Penn and you don’t go Greek: more than 70% of the undergrads are not involved with Greek life and they still enjoy their Penn experience and party a lot!</p>

<p>Do not join a frat. Until the Greek system learns to “self regulate”, all frat boys will be viewed as animals and thugs. Right or wrong, near affiliation makes you complicit. </p>
