I asked ChatGPT to rank the frats. Heres what it said

"Below is the ranking of University of Maryland’s IFC fraternities for the 2024–25 year, based on GreekRank posts and ratings from August 2024 through July 2025. Recent activity and sentiment were emphasized in determining the order. Each fraternity is listed with a brief explanation:


1. Alpha Tau Omega (ATO) – Top-tier all year; strong sorority relations and social pull. Despite one negative brotherhood comment, overall perception stayed elite.

2. Sigma Nu (ΣΝ) – Still top-tier despite losing main party house. Strong reputation and cool members kept them high, but lack of socials hurt slightly.

3. Sigma Chi (ΣΧ) – Large pledge class and premier house. Consistently mentioned in top-three discussions and known for big events.

4. Theta Chi (ΘX) – Seen as “easily top” organization. Rose to prominence after taking in members from recently closed house and inherited strong sorority relations.

5. Tau Epsilon Phi (TEP) – Hosts big events like Tepfest and pulls strong classes. Maintains solid upper-tier spot, socials mostly with top and upper-mid sororities.

6. Zeta Psi (ΖΨ) – Most consistent upper mid-tier with good PCs. Strong darty (day party) presence. Mostly socials with upper-mid sororities.

7. Delta Sigma Phi (ΔΣΦ) – Improving fast with strong pledge classes. House location is a drawback, but good relations and growth keep them upper-mid.

8. Lambda Chi Alpha (ΛΧΑ) – Good history and decent sorority ties. Recent social pause due to setback, but likely to rebound.

9. Beta Theta Pi (ΒΘΠ) – Mid-tier staple known for hosting frequent and open darties. Solid presence with middle sororities.

10. Alpha Delta Phi (ΑΔΦ) – Similar vibe to Beta but slightly weaker pull. Hosts frequent darties, stays mid-tier.

11. Kappa Alpha (KA) – Suspended; no socials in 2024–25. Still draws some members, but status dropped hard.

12. Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) – Lower-mid tier. Would rise with a main house; occasionally joins larger events.

13. Phi Kappa Tau (ΦΚΤ) – Enthusiastic but low-tier. Always “on the come up,” but lacks strong socials.

14. Alpha Sigma Phi (ΑΣΦ) – Very quiet year. Rarely mentioned, limited visibility despite some past positives.

15. Sigma Phi Epsilon (ΣΦΕ) – Friendly but small and inactive. Minimal rush presence this year.

16. Zeta Beta Tau (ΖΒΤ) – Cease & Desist crushed socials. Previously solid mid-tier, but fell to bottom after sanctions.

17. Sigma Phi Delta (ΣΦΔ) – Engineering frat with better sentiment in 2025 but still little social relevance.

18. Sigma Alpha Mu (ΣΑΜ) – Big class in Fall 2024 sparked optimism, but most still view Sammy as bottom tier.

19. Chi Phi (XΦ) – Smallest presence; mostly mentioned as a joke. Remains the lowest-ranked IFC chapter.
