<p>The last threads ranking the frats have been from like 2009, so I think it's time for an update. Can someone rank them?</p>
<ul>
<li>sae / beta</li>
<li>deke</li>
<li>sig chi / phidelt / aepi / kappa sig </li>
<li>ato / lambda chi / signu</li>
<li>phi sci / fiji</li>
</ul>
<p>Happy rushing</p>
<p>Pancaked, do you know anything about how much legacy status at a certain frat gives you an advantage?</p>
<p>Can anyone rank Sororities as well?</p>
<p>Legacy doesn’t mean much (though legacy to a really recent alum could). It may help you get on the rush list quicker and get more invitations to events but if the brothers don’t want you, you’re going to get cut either way, legacy or not.</p>
<p>Sororities:
Theta / Tri Delt
Kappa
Pi Phi/ KD
Chi O
ADPi / AXO
Zeta / AOPi</p>
<p>Both these lists are obviously disputable as there isn’t some concrete hierarchy (ex. some would put kappa over tridelt) but they’re pretty accurate.</p>
<p>Pancaked is pretty accurate in his fraternity rankings, but not entirely. In order within each tier, I’d say it goes:</p>
<p>-SAE /DKE
- Beta / KA
- Phi Delt / Kappa Sig / Sigma Chi / AEPi
- Sig Nu / Lamba Chi /
- BCM / ZBT though
- Fiji / ATO<br>
- Phi Sci
- DTD (new frat)
- gay/bi frat</p>
<p>As for the sororities, thats accurate, except Chi O is generally accepted to be higher than KD.</p>
<p>Way off up there ^^. KA is gone…SAE got downgraded after losing their house, You’ve underrated AEPi and Beta… Phi Psi > FIJI, ZBT is gone. Real rankings…</p>
<ul>
<li>DKE/Beta</li>
<li>SAE/Kappa Sig/AEPi/Sigma Chi</li>
<li>Sig Nu/Phi Delt</li>
<li>Lambda Chi/Phi Psi</li>
<li>Fiji/ATO
-BCM
-DTD
-Gay/bi frat</li>
</ul>
<p>KA and ZBT are gone. Sorority rankings are pretty accurate…</p>
<p>Sig Nu is not on Phi Delt’s level. ATO is above both Fiji and Phi Psi. BCM is irrelevant.</p>
<p>Yakov is wrong, probably a Phi Psi</p>
<p>Nice try though</p>
<p>Tier 1:
Beta/SAE
DKE</p>
<p>Tier 2:
Kappa Sig/AEPi/Sigma Chi</p>
<p>Tier 3
Phi Delt
Sigma Nu</p>
<p>Tier 4:
ATO/Lambda Chi/Fiji
Phi Psi</p>
<p>BCM is not a fraternity
DTD isn’t even a fraternity yet
You can’t even count Delta Lambda Phi or Beta Chi Theta really</p>
<p>To get an idea, I found this online
SAE - good ol’ boys
Beta - lax bros
DKE - ragers
Kappa Sig - random jumble
AEPi - jews
Sigma Chi - friend zoned dudes
Phi Delt - try-hards
Lambda Chi - not much coming from this house anymore
ATO - the charlie sheen of VU greek life (this is a joke btw)
Sigma Nu - kids who were nerds in high school who suddenly think they’re cool
FIJI - queers
Phi Psi - who?</p>
<p>Updated for 2014:
These are how it seems to go (from the perspective of a rush & friends who have hit parties at almost every house thus far)</p>
<p>1st tier:
SAE/Beta</p>
<p>2nd tier:
AEPi/Kappa Sig/DKE
**DKE had a small pledge class last year and is on the downturn</p>
<p>3rd tier:
Sig Nu/Sig Chi</p>
<p>4th tier:
Phi Delt/Phi Psi</p>
<p>5th tier:
ZBT/DTD/ATO/Fiji</p>
<p>I’d like to just point out that these are SO flexible, and if you’re at Vandy, a look at Yik Yak ought to tell you that. I mean, there’s a joking #justsignuthings making fun of the whole frat being gay, and Kappa just got out of a shitstorm. Kappa’s a fine example that all it takes for your fraternity or sorority to suddenly look bad is one bad apple.</p>
