1. Σ Χ
Sigma Chi is and will always be a top house. Their OC-Sig Chi pipeline yielded them another great pledge class. Their tailgates and parties in particular were also fantastic in the fall. They’ll need to stay vigilant to remain king of the hill, but as long as they are out of trouble expect them to stay in the top two.

2. Λ Χ Α
Lambda remains in the top echelon, no surprise here. They’ve made it clear they’re not a party house, but it is also clear that they do not need parties to remain on top. Their sorority relations are unparalleled and recent pledge classes have been stellar as always. If they can get more organized and throw a TKE/Sammy/SX level register, they will be #1.

3. T K E
After a rocky semester with very limited parties, TKE has shown they are back. Halloween was second to none and they kept the pledge class quality extremely high even through recent trouble. Expect them to be back vying for the one and two spots after this semester.

4. Σ Ν
Sig Nu has held at a steady number four. They clearly are not at the caliber of the top three houses, but the gap between them and houses below has widened, mostly due to AEPI’s decline. Expect them to continue to have solid parties and hold their spot.

5. Α Ε Π
AEPi is in trouble, it’s no secret. Although they still have a strong reputation, they are very much riding the wave of older/graduated guys, and losing their house was a dagger. Unless they can massively improve their pledge classes and secure their sorority relations, expect them to drop.

6. Σ Α Μ
Sammy is finally shedding their nice-guy reputation and are getting closer to being a top tier house. Their register was second only to Halloween and their sorority relations are steadily improving. With AEPi dropping, expect them to rise a spot, although they will have to make big changes to compete with Sig Nu.

7. Z Β Τ
ZBT has been floundering for a while. They definitely have cool guys but their massive pledge classes have done them no favors as far as consistency. Their parties are solid but they are severely limited by their house and some lower houses have started having larger parties. Although it is unlikely they will drop with Pike on the decline, they will need a massive overhaul to compete with AEPi or Sammy.

8. Π Κ Α
In the past few years, Pike had been on a strong upward trajectory, but this has reversed. Last semester they struggled to throw consistent parties and their pledge class was subpar. Most importantly, unless they can buck their reputation due to repeated incidents at parties and allegations they will struggle to improve or even maintain their sorority relations. If things don’t turn around for them this semester, they could drop in the rankings.

9. Φ Σ Κ
Phi Sig holds #9, although they are steadily rising. Their parties, pledge classes, and sorority relations have improved dramatically over the past several semesters. Their new spring register Snow was also one of the top five registers of past semester. If they can keep their momentum, they can be expected to continue to rise in the ranks.

10. Φ Δ Θ
In theory, Phi Delt has everything they need to succeed but have still lost ground. Their lackluster social events combined with vanilla pledge classes have led them to stagnate. And their sorority relations lean heavily on their nice-guy reputation, making it difficult to make the changes they need to improve their social standings.
