Top 10 Frat Houses In The Pac-12

The fraternity house. Thousands of brothers have come and gone through those front doors–and pledges have come and gone through the back doors, like the peasants they are. Different decades have brought new styles and fashions, but the house has always been the same, solid foundation of your fraternity’s history. You can always find joy in knowing that 20 years from now, your house will still be there, with its doors open, just asking for one more night of depravity. Well, unless some asshole decides to burn it down–I’m looking at you, Michigan SAE.

We venture to the West Coast for this edition of the best fraternity houses in the country. I’ll be honest: I expected this conference to be difficult to rank, because I hadn’t really heard anything outstanding about their houses or Greek life. However, the more research I did, I realized a lot of these houses are incredible. Any one of the top five houses could have taken the gold medal, but this isn’t Russia, so there has to be a victor.

Originally, I narrowed my list down to about 20 houses. It was no easy choice cutting any of these houses, so here are the top three honorable mentions that didn’t break into my top 10.

Sigma Nu – Stanford University

Kappa Sigma – University of Arizona

Pi Kappa Phi – University of Colorado

Overall, I’m very impressed by the houses, especially those on the University of Washington’s campus. I know nothing about the Greek scene in Seattle, which kind of sounds like an oxymoron, but you guys definitely have some great houses. Not happy with the results? Feel like your house should be represented? Defend your fraternity’s honor in the comments. Or bitch and moan about it. I’m sure it will make you feel better.

        It is the Omega house…. but the scholarship chair (also in Animal House) was lost to history forever, or was it?

        Dorn you should take a look at the Phi Psi house at Oregon State, just had a 12 million dollar remodel 4 years ago.

        Plex life is not chill, Tempe mine as well be a fucking police state. Anything with more than 40 people at it gets rolled within the hour and you better hope no ones dressed up like anything or youre instantly branded racists. On top of the fact no girl wants to walk 3 miles off campus to any party. Crow has successfully taken greek life at ASU and burned it to the ground. The only decent Fraternities allowed to rush this semester were Sig Ep and Theta Chi. TKE and Sig Chi are up shits creek with the school so they cant do shit for like a year, Sig Nu is gone, as is Alpha Pi. Oh and dont forget PIKE the university’s largest social club up thats up and coming though the means of shot gun spaying bids and a no hazing policy.

      I’m honestly more surprised that you can even read it if you do in fact go to ASU

    Some of my best memories that I dont remember have happenned in phigam and Sigmachi at UW. Awesome houses. The greek system is pretty close knit at UW, ive never had a real problem with partying at another house.

    Sigma Nu at University Colorado owns an entire square block. 5 houses including their chapter house.

    You completely missed Asigs at UW. In my opinion, they probably have the nicest looking house on campus.

      Not quite! According to data they are 21/31 and “a bunch of great and nice guys” with 3.7/5 stars!

        I see what you tried doing with your name, but this is just pitiful. You won’t last long here.

      Good one but in 1971 we were honored as the most noble fraternity at UW. My Uncle always tells me that story…
