<p>What do you guys think of the ACACIA fraternity?</p>
<p>Having trouble deciding between Acacia and TKE</p>
<p>It’s a frat, but it’s like, not really a frat.</p>
<p>How is it different from the other fraternities? (I’m just curious.)</p>
<p>TXhorn, which one are you talking about? Also, what do you think of TKE?</p>
<p>he’s probably talking about acacia. I wouldn’t say they’re a typical frat. I like them, they’re pretty chill. Acacia and TKE both had Jersey Shore themed parties last night and a lot of people left TKE to go acacia and liked acacia’s party better. but that was just last night</p>
<p>The TKE frat house is small :-P</p>
<p>If you’re that desperate to join a fraternity that you’re only left with those two its probably better to just quit, no reason to deliberate over worst and second-worst. There’s plenty of other interest groups around campus including social organizations that would be a better use of your time.</p>
<p>Again Longhornlife, if you have nothing good to say, either say it in a lucid well-constructed argument or say nothing at all…and if the guy wants to join a fraternity then let him, its his choice, going by a percieved ranking can put guys in a place where they don’t exactly like because they want a house with “prestige”…my advice to you is to join where you feel you belong best, not where everyone tells you to go.</p>
<p>If you’re looking for the “fratty” scene you probably aren’t going to find it in either one o those chapters. You should just pledge where you feel most at home, and if you don’t feel at home at either chapter, don’t force yourself to pledge.</p>
<p>Not to sound rude or anything, but I just hope you know what you’re getting into. HONESTLY, TKE and Acacia both don’t have much respect around campus. TKE’s house is like a little cottage, the Acacia one is pretty big though. I have very close friends in Fiji, KA, SigEp, and ATO and they all have no respect for TKE or the other one. </p>
<p>However, go with what you know! I told you what people and specifically guys think of those two. Good luck!</p>
<p>Oh you wanted a well constructed argument? Well I’m tired of doing my plan2 physics homework (ha! you’re in LAH!) so I’ll take a break and give you one. In that case, let me rephrase myself. If you want to join a group with some of the lowest dues, and thus smallest social budget and subsequently fewer and smaller parties, then by all means join acacia. Or if you want to join a fraternity with one of the lowest average GPAs in the IFC, then by all means, join acacia. Or if you don’t like large houses that are historical landmarks or have new multi-million dollar facilities, then by all means, join acacia. Or if you’re not concerned with alumni connections, campus prestige, manpower, or any of the other various reasons people join fraternities, then by all means, join acacia. Some people like to sit at home and play boardgames on saturday night, who are we to judge? Maybe the rankings ARE unmerited. Maybe everyone IS wrong. Maybe the world is flat. </p>
<p>But once again, there’s plenty of student organizations around campus that serve essentially the same function as a social fraternity without the greek letters. They’re worth checking out as well while you’re exploring your options.</p>
<p>Go with where you fit.</p>
<p>I personally prefer Chi Phi :X Frat! Frat! Frat! <em>Fist pump</em></p>
<p>longhornforlife said it best, honestly. that’s the answer i would have wanted.</p>
