<p>You should try to find a good fit for you and not worry too much about fictional rankings.</p>
<p>They do give random bids - my son purposefully chose to rush a fraternity that had no one from our area and got in. He was looking to meet more people and expand since he already knew so many at UT from our area.</p>
<p>Guys (and gals), my great nephew is matriculating at UT this fall. Living in San Antonio, he surprisingly has had no fraternity contact. I’d love for him to be a Phi Delt, but the general tone of the conversation seems to be negative at worst and 'eh" at best. Without stirring any invective or emotions, can those of you in the know shed some light on what the top 5, say, have that the Phis don’t … or vice versa ?</p>
<p>Appreciate it.</p>

<p>As far as I know, Phi Delt doesn’t actually have a house? I knew a Phi Delt and he’s a cool guy, and most of them seem alright, but I hadn’t heard of it until I met this guy anyway.</p>
<p>Don’t let the stupid ranking make a decision for you. Phi Delt is a completely fine fraternity the only thing is that it’s a smaller house by number of members</p>
<p>Its very interesting how the simplest topic can not be discussed or answered. “nobody cares, find the best fit for you, blah blah blah…”
This is not common sense. Its not the Dr. Phil Show. Its a classic bell curve scenario. Most normal regular students at any given university are going to meet people and participate in social activities. It won’t take long to develope an opinion based on what is seen, heard and just in the air, as far as fraternities are concerned. Even if one thinks they all are lame or full of kooks, one will still be able to say “That one is cool. That one is OK. That one blows. That one is packed full of jerks!” </p>
<p>If you don’t have an opinion on something so simple then why not just go to the next thread or start one that whines about this one or call Dr. Laura?</p>
