Fraternities

<p>Hey, I’m writing here to ask about the UPenn frat scene. Could anybody tell me their different personalities, attitudes and focuses. What types of members do the different fraternities attract and how does the student body percieve the different houses? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>There are a ton of frats, from large frats with houses right in the center of campus to small frats that don't even have a chapter house. Sorry for the vague answer, but there are so many that there are lots of overlaps. You can most likely find whatever you;re looking for, from the Nice Guy frats to the Party Hearty frats.</p>

<p>All I can say is that every demographic is represented in the fraternities at Penn. You have your Rich Prep-school My-dad-is-richer-than-yours frat, your prep-jock frat, your party animal frat, your nerd frat, your coke frat, your poor frat, your nice-jewish-guy frat, your rich-jewish-guy frat, your wealthy-international-student frat, your asian frat, your southerner frat, your wrestler frat, your boring-but-normal frat, and your frat-that-is-more-like-a-club frat.</p>

<p>I could assign greek letters to any of the above, however, I think it will be far more interesting for you to find this out for yourselves next year...</p>

<p>PS, we also have a number of secret societies at Penn, but the best way to describe them is as underground fraternities.</p>

<p>How is the Pi Kappa Phi at Penn?</p>

<p>They're not bad. Pretty normal guys. Not the greatest house though. On a 1-10 scale they'd be a 5.</p>

<p>Frats are big at Penn, but not in the way that you have to be in one to have friends.
There all kinds of different frats. Pi Kap Phi is definitely one of the more "cool tough guy" frats.
Frats that remain on Locust walk are very limited because there's no way in a million years they can get away with unregistered parties. So basically they rarely have parties of any kind.
More social frats in that sense are on Walnut or on Locust past 40th.</p>

<p>How is the lamba chi alpha at Penn?</p>
