Most potential of the recolonizing frats
by: Not ChiPhiWhich frat has the most potential of SAE, Fiji, Lenroc, SNU and Sammy? Would seem to be SAE is leading the charge, but curious what other people have experienced so far. All 5 have good alumni groups, and the first four have really good houses/properties, plus historical precedence as upper mid+. Nice to see some success compared to the recent srat colonization failures.

Fiji and Llenroc and are doing solid re-cols with steady growth and a focus on brotherhood. Both have decent and consistent recruitment. Fiji > Lenroc socially. Both houses re-col strategies aren't exciting, but are effective. Strong alumni, and both own their own houses (meaning there's $$$). Llenroc's house is some kind of state or federal landmark.
SAE has a different approach: more splashy, with a more external focus on social and promotion/flexing. Building brotherhood is further down on their priority list. Lots of tough historical baggage, both at Cornell and nationally. Once owned their own very nice house, but had financial difficulties and sold it to Cornell a long time ago. Have involved alumni who want to see them succeed.
SNU started off strong. Recent rumors of a divided brotherhood. Inconsistent recruiting. Nice guys with a nice house, and I think they still own it. Don't have a sense of how engaged their alums are (might be a lot, just don't know).
Sammy's having the toughest time. Recruiting has been slow, etc. Don't own their own house, and the one they're in right now isn't great. Don't know how engaged their alums are. Challenges create opportunities though, so you never know.
Everyone should want all five of these re-cols to succeed. Failures just help the administrators and geeds who want to see the Greek system abolished.

All 5 had good reps before getting suspended, also big alumni groups. No shot any of them fail

@freshmen -- These 5 houses are very different from one another in terms of vibe, recruiting, and how they present themselves to the outside world. You can see SAE's approach in this thread (and in lots of other threads, and in their rankings page). There's a house for everyone, so I suppose this attitude appeals to some kids.

Bumping this for frosh.
This group of five frats is like a microcosm of the larger Greek system. They're all pretty different:
- SNU skews athletic
- Lenroc skews kind of wealthy/traditional, with a gorgeous house
- Fiji historically is a much bigger brotherhood than the others (like 100 kids, often the largest frat on campus)
- SAE wants to be known as rowdy/super-social
- Sammy is kind of an underdog\n\n\n\n\n

Sammy's a knock off ZBT -- used to be decent when they had SAE's house for a few years, but having the roughest time of the recolonizing frats. But now that they have a frat house at least, will probably be solidly lower mid by end of spring semester.

Cueing the mid frats to swoop in and insult all five of these houses in 3, 2, 1 . . . .
Wish we could stop killing our own here. We need more houses not less. The administration loves it when we tear each other down.

Recent GR activity shows how different these five houses are. One frat won't stop spamming, creating drama, and ranking itself as upper. One frat doesn't make a peep. The other three frats are relatively low-key.

Makes sense. It’s not like the new houses are coming in from scratch. They have very good houses (except for Sammy) and big established alumni groups with lots of money to throw around. Not to mention they’ve existed as upper half houses for most of their history, so with time they’ll inevitably end up where they were before suspension.
SAE -> top tier
Lenroc -> upper or top tier
Fiji -> upper tier
SNU -> upper mid or upper tier
Sammy -> mid tier

No one is threatened by SAE. Everyone is annoyed by SAE because of its constant grinding and inflated sense of themselves.
None of other recolonized houses act this way, and a couple of them are doing better than SAE without all the hype and flexing.
Good luck to the houses that are doing recolonization right.

I don’t think the C4 care, and I don’t think the lowers care that much. It’s the mids that feel this the most when it comes to recruiting etc.
If you believe in the Greek system, you want these recolonizations to succeed and bring more people into it.
