Glad to help.

Jcold, the “top” fraternities are SAE, PhiDelt, SigEp, Sigma Chi. Also strong are Beta, ATO, KA.

In no specific order…
SAE: Southern, biggest house, lion in front, tough pledge process, cool guys, just got into a little trouble last fall for hazing.
PhiDelt: South Florida, house off the row (on 13th street I believe, very close), parties a lot, has two popular off campus houses, tough pledge process, athletically competitive
SigEp: South Florida, house on the row, strong brotherhood (the largest), tough pledge process, known for popularity with girls (though all top houses will suffice in this category), athletically competitive, well represented in student offices
Sigma Chi: South Florida / Southern mix, house on the row, pledge process not as tough as the previous 3, couldn’t tell you much more I’m not sure. They don’t seem to be as popular these days in my opinion.

In no specific order…
Beta: South Florida / Southern mix, house on the row, easier pledge process, friendly, well represented in student offices, very active, trying very hard to rise
KA: Extremely Southern, and for that reason pretty exclusive and sometimes considered racist. House on the row.
ATO: Southern, off campus house, strong brotherhood.

This link has some bad misinformation (don’t look at the what to wear, bad advice) but I remember finding this link before I went through rush. It’s a little old but you can get a feel for each fraternity by reading through this girl’s descriptions of them, an outside perspective.

I think you’d like AEPi’s description gator4ever. :)
