A match made in heaven. Clearly.
So the time has come for frats to ask sororities to be their pre-party partners for next year. Love is in the air. Alright maybe not love, but superficial alcohol-fueled lust at least, and I guess that's good enough. Between tips I've received and consults with some sources, here's what I've gathered so far:
- DKE asked Chi-O, but they said no because they were reportedly holding out for Fiji. I wouldn't hold my breath if I was Chi-O. On a related note: aww DKE.This is fairly boring, just watching the top few frats and sororities shuffle each other around, although I guess it reinforces how surprisingly accurate my list is. Why can't like Alpha Phi be with Chi Psi or SAE with DPhiE? That would be far more entertaining to watch. But ah well, the system's the system. I'm not exactly sure how reliable or timely my sources are, but I'm sure I'll get bitched out in the comments in no time correcting my mistakes.
- Pike is probably going to ask Sigma Kappa, reigniting the love affair the two had years ago. Hard to say who will be the man in the relationship however.
- SAE is most likely with Tri Delt producing the unholiest pregame ever as the two have a combined douche/bitch factor of 56 out of 20 according my scale. Should be interesting to watch to say the least, I predict social probation all around.
- Phi Psi is going to ask Kappa, setting a much needed precedent that WASPs and JAPs can get along. And by get along I mean drunkenly hook up at 8 AM on Saturdays.
- Theta Chi is probably going to end up with Alpha Phi. What do the two have in common? Um, I guess they can talk about how much better they are than everyone. Oh, and cocaine. Oops, did I say that out loud?
Update: Ah my first mistake, DKE asked AXO not Chi-O, that's precious. Yeah, I'd be waiting for Fiji too.

no they didn't...next year that "fraternity row" of state street houses is PIKE, Phi Delt, DKE, and Fiji...but FIJI got AXO back when they pregamed at their fraternity house and almost got SK this past yr till SAE came in and outfratted FIJI

Really, does it matter much? They're just a bunch of guys whose booze you get to drink 8 Saturdays a year. Do you really have to like them? I'd say it would be more fun to party with guys you hate so you could get belligerent and not care, then not even thank them later.

theta chi voted to ask alpha phi since phi psi wants kappa and sae asked the deltas. who's left? theta chi can't be with kappa again and tri delt would be stupid to say no to sae for a house that's about to go way of beta
so tri delt won't be with theta chi person above

you all sound like such idiots, its like high school lol. Wtf, I did not realize how idiotic greek life was till I read what y'all are saying. This is why people hate on greeks you people take yourselves so seriously. OMG whos going to go with who blah blah blah. Clearly all you care about is social status, who's cool, who got the new iPhone and who's daddy bought them a beammer. I hope that only the "cool" frats and sorositutes are this shallow and the rest are actually cool. Also SAE turn down the monk chants at night you people sound like a wana be cult of rich kids.

@ Anonymous: false...sorostitutes as a whole never have anything good to say about fraternities. They classify "frat boys" as either douchebags/****s (SAE), tools (PIKE), or awkward (SigEp).
That said, DKE has respect among most if not all other reputable fraternities. I havent heard anyone talk shit about them since ATO got kicked off. They aren't top tier, but the guys I know in it are all really chill and turned down bids at "higher ranked" houses like beta, fiji, and phi psi.

If I've learned anything from being a part of Greek life, I've learned that you can't judge a whole group of people based on a few people that are part of that group. (I've done it and it's never always true). That's true for the frats and the sororities as well as every other group and company and school in the world. I hate to think that someone I don't even know is going to completely judge me based on what house I am in, especially if they do it based on this site. But hey, if thats the kind of people Michigan students are, what can you do.
I hope some of you are better than that.

B) a lot of you sound really dumb especially the sorostitues on here.
C) I AM shallow and do judge people by what "house they live in" If you live in a greek house I look at you as someone how had to buy their friends, but I am aware there are a few exceptions out there.

Fiji is going to ask AXO I'm sure, there really isn't a great list of options. I would also be suprised if AXO did not accept. The question is who is SDT and Chi O going to pregame with. Theta will be with AEPI I'm sure.
I could also see Pi Kapp getting with AXO though.

Theta was with AEPi this year, they will change it up again. FIJI will probably get AXO because the only other 2 houses that asked AXO are SigEp and DKE. And there is no way in hell pi kapps will get axo, let alone any reputable sorority. They party with adpi and pi phi.
