<p>What are the most Elite Fraternities?
I’m interested in ones that have good networking and tradition.</p>
<p>Most famous? Skulls and Bones at Yale probably. There’s a few of those fraternities at every Ivy League, but they’re all supposed to be “secret”. Look them up on Wikipedia or something.</p>
<p>the previous poster is correct</p>
<p>however, you cannot just join those</p>
<p>Sigma Chi and Alpha Epsilon Pi are everywhere, and they are always looking to help each other out (within the frat i mean)</p>
<p>AEPi is a Jewish fraternity, so it’s not open to all either</p>
<p>Also, you don’t need a fraternity to network.</p>
<p>AEPi is mainly a jewish fraternity, but there are plenty of non-jewish members in it.</p>
<p>I wanna be brown is right. Also, Skull in Bones is not a fraternity. It is, however, a secret society. I am pretty sure it has members of both sexes now, but it is the most infamous of college societies because of its mysteriousness. Anyway, many schools have secret societies, and usually more than one. I think William and Mary is known as the first school to have one.</p>
<p>Yea you can’t just koin those secret societies such as skull and bones. There is a reason that there is very little known about them there secret and none of the members are allowed to talk about them.</p>
<p>in general these are typically the most prestigious: Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Chi, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. It does vary widely according to campus.</p>

<p>i stand corrected i<em>wanna</em>be_brown, i wasn’t aware there were non Jewish members of AEPi</p>

<p>Don’t confuse fraternities and secret societies - there’s a big difference. Also, I would add Zeta Psi (on the Forbes list btw) to the list of “elite” fraternities (although I don’t really know what that term is supposed to mean in the first place), as it really puts a lot of emphasis on the quality of the networking by being selective when it comes to opening new chapters (which is why it has less chapters than many other fraternities).</p>
<p>I realize it sounds snobby but hey, that’s what this thread is about…</p>
<p>don’t forget that fraternities vary by campus. nationally, they might be part of a very big and well-connected fraternity, but when you rush for them at your specific school, you might be like “***?” and vice versa. remember that a lot of fraternity networking starts with your own school’s frat! how elite is the frat in your specific campus? how are their alumni? etc.</p>
