<p>I'm an incoming freshman this year at UCLA who's interested in going Greek. I fully intend to rush every house possible but I'd like to know about the overall styles of each fraternity on campus before rushing. Some of the ones I'm interested in from the minimal research I've done are Lambda Chi, SigChi and SigEp. </p>
<ol>
<li>I'm very serious about my grades but also love the social scene. What houses have a good party/academics balance?</li>
<li>What's the reception like at upper and mid-tier fraternity houses for minority students?</li>
<li>Do fraternities at UCLA require/prefer letters of rec when rushing?</li>
</ol>
<p>Whether you can answer the questions or just give a general overview of any fraternities, all input's appreciated. Thanks!</p>
