Ok so im an incoming freshmen at AU and ive been to a few rush parties at Theta Chi, Beta, and Pike. The other night I went to one at Pike and got a bid from them and I accepted. Now today im hearing theyre sort of a druggie fraternity, but I couldnt tell from the guys I met, they seemed really cool.

So, anybody have any insight on Pike and if I should stick with them or keep looking around?

Thanks guys

I'm in incoming freshman too, but I can't really help you out, I don't know anything about Pike. I accepted a bid from SAE. But if you already accepted, I don't think you can keep looking around. Could be wrong though

Are the Pikes the ones that paint themselves purple?

I'm a sophomore at Auburn. Not very familiar with Pike but if I were you I'd rush Sigma Nu and Beta exclusively.

Hell yeah you can. You aren't ever locked into a bid.. if you want to continue rushing somewhere then by all means you can. I'd just be careful doing so.

If I were the OP, I'd drop Pike before I began rushing elsewhere though.

Pike has been known as one of the frats that parties with drugs since 2001. Theta Xi use to have the same problem. SAE and Beta are both good but Beta is the most respected of all those.

I thought that's what 'holding' is for?

That would be the classy way of going about things. I had friends accept a bid, then rush elsewhere and receive a bid, drop his first bid, and accepting his second bid

He's a trouble maker and got sent home for the summer. I would stay away from pledging to be his friend. He may not be around long fwiw. Good luck.

You can rush as many as you want...but you do have a deadline.

Thanks fellas. My understanding is that I can tell them id like to look around and that im gonna hold the bid.

I was pretty drunk when I accepted it because it was at a house party after the actual rush even that they offered the bid.

Any other feelings on theta chi?

Why would you accept it without visiting every fraternity?

Not really. If you aren't experienced with the situation of rushing and get a bid before you really know what you're getting into then it's not nearly as bad IMO. Especially if you've had a lot to drink and they are throwing hard pressure on to accepting.
