depends on whether you prefer butt chugging or the elephant walk. Different frats are into different things.
Don't want to ruin a great thread but you
Would probably be happy with just about any frat on frat row, pick the one that fits you best. For me since I was an awesome athlete, scholar, cock hound that was extraordinarily handsome and humble it was Kappa Sigma for me.

I'd go with the Tri Lams. They have a really high GPA and a great relationship with the Omega Mu sorority.***
edit: Serious answer: Go through rush and visit all the houses, pick the one that has the most dudes you get along with. Picking by reputation and not by where you fit in is a recipe for getting cut.

Not pledging Kappa Sig probably saved my life
When I was a Freshman at Millsaps, I went through Rush the first week of school. I got a bid from the Kappa Sigs. They had the reputation as the "Animal House" of Frat Row.
I know that if I'd have become a Sig, I'd have wound up floating under the Dock at Main Harbor after a night of heavy drinking.

From what I remembered when I was at State
I was a Gamma Delta Iota at State, but these are my observations:
-Your basic go-to frats where you probably won't go wrong are Kappa Sig, Pike, Sig Ep (Sigma Phi Epsilon), Lambda Chi Alpha, and Alpha Tau Omega (ATO, the frat where I had the most friends while at State).
-Stay away from Kappa Alpha and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. In the past, you could get good political and business connections if you belonged to one of them. However, events like "Old South" and the recent Oklahoma SAE controversy should warn you off to groups like this.
-If you're a masochist, pledge a black frat. When I was in Army Boot Camp, a guy in my platoon was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha. He said pledging AΦA was WAYYY tougher than Boot Camp....in Boot Camp, the Drill Sergeants couldn't hit you.
-If you want to get a job from Trent Lott, pledge Sigma Nu.

3 tiers:
Right now I would separate the fraternities into three tiers. Obviously it varies depending on what your looking for but I'm just going based off type of guys, parties, perception on campus, involvement, and what most girls flock to. Full disclosure I was a Sigma Chi (2010-2014).
Tier 1:
Sigma Chi: Best campus involvement, nicest house, overall considered the best by a majority of girls and has an incredibly diverse group of guys. Derby Days is great, and All Sig Day is a ton of fun.
Kappa Sigma: Recovering incredible well from the trouble they got into a few years back. Charity Bowl is awesome, and no party can stack up to South Seas.
Phi Delta Theta: Have been on social probation for what seems like the past two years, but still have managed to get a lot of great people to join. When they are off social probation their parties are notorious for being the most fun. I knew a lot of awesome guys in Phi Delt.
Tier 2: All these fraternities are great and depending who you ask could be easily placed in the top.
SAE: Have more of a druggy reputation but still are routinely really really good.
KA: I feel like they just keep getting better
Pi Kappa Phi: They are less than 4 years old on campus so still growing but have a lot of great guys.
Pike: Don't know much about them, but have always been good.
Tier 3: These are the best of the rest. Some fraternities aren't even worth mentioning.
FIJI
Lamda Chi
ATO
Sig Ep had really moved into tier 1 but they are no longer on campus, so unfortunately they aren't an option.
Once again this is just my opinion so take it for what it's worth. I'm not gonna act like I'm not at least a little biased.

Go where you fit in the best, otherwise being a pledge will suck even worse. You'll have to kiss a bunch of asses of guys you don't even like. Kinda like corporate America.
bhamdog54 gave a good rundown. Funny how it was basically the same fraternities in the same tiers 20 years ago.
South Seas was great btw, but my favorite was Harvey Weaver Weekend...booze, blues, and "big-legged women"!

Some frats are better than others?
When you have to pay to have friends, arguing over which group of potential friends is best is like being the tallest midget. You are still laughably short.

If you want to be another number and have several cliques, then go KE or EX they were both around 200 actives when I was at State.
In general, go through rush and find out what you like and where you fit in. If you do just join a "bigger frat" because it's cool to be in KE or EX, you might get cut and/or hate it. You want it to be a fun time with a lot of people who have similar interests. All my friends were KE and EX, but I went through rush and joined a frat where I literally knew no one before Rush and got close with everyone but maybe like 10 guys I just didn't see eye to eye with, but 90% of the frat I got along great with I'd say.
I was an SAE and we had right around 100 guys at all times. Very few cliques, everyone gets along but a few and that's because all we do is party and 17 bitches...and lots of drugs as others pointed out***
Every heard of Ozarka? Yeah....he's legendary. That's what SAE is like. He might have been a bro of mine, maybe....

Simma down, im just trolling since that's the theme of the thread.
I don't actually think its paying for friends. Its more like paying for the opportunity to have specific friends.
I kid I kid.
My wife was in a sorority, I don't actually hate the greeks.
They're sort of still around, they're just called Phi Kappa Tau now. Ground has been broken for the new house over by Delta Chi, I think.
Didnt hang with frats much, but Delta Chi's did a lot of weed back in the 80s. Hell even the faculty advisor, Dr R, did it. But maybe everyone in the 80's did chronic.
