New FRATS at Cornell Thread

<p>I've met a lot of people at various frats this semester and been to a bunch of parties at different houses. These are my general feelings/sterotypes about each frat. Please feel free to add in your own opinion or add another frat to the list. I want to here other people's perceptions of frats too. Any idea where you're planning to rush/pledge?</p>

<p>FIJI: good parties, good drinks, sketchy kind of guys but some are cool, house isn't that great. a lot of ROTC.
Alpha Del: amazing house! guys seemed pretty cool as well but i've heard otherwise from a lot of people
Chi Phi: great guys, a lot of rugby players and athletes in the house. house is kind of small. great parties tho.
Beta: big partiers. but they're on North
TKE: only had that one big "death of summer" party, it was bad and crowded,
DU: great guys and great parties. a lot of athletes in the house though.
Lambda Chi: have a **** load of parties, seems like every week. parties are pretty good. some guys are kind of sketchy/nerdy but a fair amount are cool and down-to-earth.
Sig Pi: stuck up *******s
SAE:
Psi U:
ATO:
Rockledge:
Llenroc:
Chi Psi:
Kappa Sig:
Theta Drug: speaks for itself
DKE: castle house. a mix of sketchy/nerdy/old money/regular guys.
Phi Sig: good parties, decent guys.
Phi Psi: very unique shaped house with high ceilings. i know no one there. good party but very few. ALOT OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS
Sammy/ ZBT/ AEP : Jewish frats. Sammy definitely being the nerdiest, ZBT has a lot of out heads.</p>

<p>Everyone who's been to the frats this year feel free to add your own opinions. Where do you play to rush/pledge?</p>

<p>alpha epsilon pi
lambda phi epsilon
pi delta psi
zeta psi</p>

<p>anybody know about these?</p>

<p>Alpha Epsilon Pi- jewish frat
I don't know anything about the others.</p>

<p>I'm only a freshman but I would put the frats in these tiers (no particular order within tiers)</p>

<p>Frats that don't fit into system because they are a specialty frat: Phi Psi, Sigma Nu (football), Theta Drug (drugs), Chi Phi (sprint football), ATO (lacrosse)</p>

<p>First Tier
SAE, Psi U, Chi Psi, Pike</p>

<p>Second Tier
ZBT, Sig Pi, Alpha Delt, Sig Chi</p>

<p>Third Tier
DU, Phi Sig, SAM, Sig Phi, AGR</p>

<p>Last Tier
Fiji, Beta, AEPi, Zeta Psi, Lamda Chi, ACACIA, DKE, TKE, (probably anything else not mentioned)</p>

<p>how can you forget DU? They definitely belong in the first or second tier. Agree?</p>

<p>say no to pi delta psi</p>

<p>i don't fully agree with that list. I don't think that DU is in the same tier as SAM. I think DU should be higher up in first or second. I've never heard of Sig Chi. I think Fiji should be in the second tier as well as Chi Phi.</p>

<p>AEPi is nerdier then Sammy.</p>

<p>make a new list, mrnova!!!! haha</p>

<p>and you forgot Kappa Sigma. I would put them in the 2nd or 3rd tier.</p>

<p>plmok's list is really off.</p>

<p>so Spanks why don't you rearrange or make your own list so we can a better perception of the tiers?</p>

<p>List **** is pointless. It's what your looking for. Do you like your collars pointed, starched, or pink? Is your idea of hard drugs crack, or baby aspirin? Do you consider intelligence a vice or a virtue? Does an athlete house make you sport wood or shudder with memories of "Revenge of the Geeks". Do you like big open parties with long lines for beast, or more exclusive private comfortable parties. If your basing where you want to go on hearsay reputation rather then the quality/compatibility of the guys you've met there, you will end up by junior year being miserable and disenfranchised/disillusioned with your choice. Anyone's list is going to be biased based on their tastes. This would work much better if you gave a description of what you're looking for and then we could point you in a direction. Hypothetical example)</p>

<p>Hi, I'm uncleverscreenname, a white 5' 6" protestant from Arizona. I enjoy long walks on the beech, collecting stamps, and growing pot. My idea of a good night is waking up in a pool of my own vomit on the street and then having an intellectual discussion on quantum mechanics with any vagrants in the area. </p>

<p>See from that I'm sure our hypothetical person could be pointed into a fraternity he could fit in. In this case he's probably not a good fit anywhere , maybe Risley or Watermargin.</p>

<p>hey mrnova, which frat are you in anyway?</p>

<p>anyway, about me... i'm a sophomore transfer from new york. i'm a regular down to earth guy and i'm liberal about most issues. i play any sports but i would have no problem watching sports or whatever. so based on this which frat would do you think i would fit into best?</p>

<p>uh describe yourself more.</p>

<p>Spanks, what do you disagree with?</p>

<p>uh considering you put DU and Sig Phi as 3rd tier...when both of them are more popular frats on campus</p>

<p>I have never heard of Sig Phi - can anyone tell me anything about them?
What about Llenroc and Rockledge?</p>

<p>Based on what I've seen and people I've talked to and know, for sororities I think the tiers are</p>

<p>First Tier
DG, KKG, Alpha Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta</p>

<p>Second Tier
TriDelt, Kappa Delta, A X O, SDT</p>

<p>Third Tier
AEPhi, Pi Phi</p>

<p>Last Tier
A O Pi, AZD</p>

<p>Anyone agree? Disagree?</p>

<p>Switch AEPhi and AXO and I would agree.</p>
