I’ve Been to every frat, this is it.

Obviously Do Not take any ranks super seriously, I have friends in/ have attended events at most of these houses and obviously this is my own person opinion. Just make sure to check out every house when rushing and figure out which guys you fit in with the best.

Top Tier: Most Social Houses
1. Dchi, Pike([Social Probations], Acacia (Sig Chi would be in the first seed but they are suspended. BSB is also a great shout for two seed but they have probations too)
2. Sig Ep, ATO, Lambda, AEPi (Lambda and AEPi have more in common with DU and TKE than they do with the first five houses. For that reason these house are highly interchangeable depending on the recruits and the time of year)
3. DU, TKE, Phi Psi (Phi Psi are not really top tier. They are simply popular enough with people on campus to be considered at the border of Top Tier. AGR and TDX can easily fight for those spots with some more focused recruitment)

Middle Tier: Socials are just as good as Top but the crowds are average
4. Phi Who, AGR, TDX, Sig Pi, Fiji (Sig Pi used to be a top Tier house. They simply stopped socializing enough to hold that standard in the last four years. Phi Who and AGR are very similar in terms of socials and brotherhood. Fiji is always limited by being on-campus but they are social enough to be this high up)
5. Far Sig, Pikapp, TEP (Chi Phi can sometimes switch to 4th. TEP is always rebuilding their numbers. They are Dark Horses ready to grow into the 4th seed with better recruitment. Their socials are consistently pretty good, but they need better social pairs. Kappa Sig would be on this seed if they weren’t suspended)

Lower Tier: Inconsistent with Socials
6. APD, Skulls, Chi Phi, ZBT (APD took the ZBT house and that could mean they can make it to the middle tier with better recruitment. All these houses are good, but they don’t always fill their houses when they have socials)
7. PKT, Alpha Sig, SAE, LambdaPi (these houses don’t social very well. However they have strong brotherhoods from what people say. If you’re introverted and laid back I would start with these houses. DKE would be on this seed if they had not been suspended)
8. AKL, Treehouse, AZ, DTS, Triangle, mudhouse (These houses also don’t social much. However, they are a great source of branching out and finding a niche to be a part of)

If you’re a recruit, branch out and form your own opinions. If you’re just looking to party, then these ranks are pretty accurate and yet they’ll be different by the end of October. That’s just how it is at Penn State.
