It’s complicated, Boizuca. Son rushed in the Fall as a freshman and became President of a start up fraternity at U of M. But after a few months, they realized they didn’t have alum and national support and could not get a house on campus, so all the officers resigned. It was a bummer…the guys had high hopes and were excited about the leadership opportunity. He plans to rush again next Fall as a sophomore, which has it’s challenges, but it’s an option.

Pike was considered one of the top fraternities, but recently got kicked off campus for a major hazing incident. If you search this forum, you will find plenty of discussion about the different fraternities at U of M. One advantage of waiting until Winter rush or rushing as a sophomore, is that you’ll be settled in and have a better idea of what the fraternities are really like. Ultimately, the best fraternity for you is the one where you feel most comfortable with the other brothers and pledges in your class.
