The Fraternity Chapters of 2013

! 12!

! !

-Alpha Epsilon Pi-

The decision to attend Stanford was one of the most significant choices you ever had to make. The next three or four (or five or six) years of your life will not only be demanding and rigorous, but also enlightening, rewarding and fun. Now, more than ever before, you are free to be yourself and choose your friends - all you have to do is decide: who do you want to be. This is what fraternity is about - this is what AEPi is about. Life at Stanford can move quick; between p-sets and midterms, essays and presentations, and the boatload of extra-curriculars we load on ourselves - it can be hard to find time to build meaningful friendships. Fraternity membership will give you a strong social network on campus and friends who are up for doing whatever, whenever. You will bond both by engaging in wild, hilarious shenanigans, and by learning from your brothers and sharing your own talents. AEPi has a strong presence on campus. We have ties to the Jewish community, good relationships with sororities, a tradition of community service, and of course, our unique parties like Jewish Special Dinner. Our social schedule keeps us busy all year long. We do all-campus parties, formals in San Francisco, mixers with sororities, brotherhood skydiving adventures, and road trips to party with AEPi bros all across California. We are more than just a social organization, though, AEPi brothers are active leaders in Hillel, intramural sports, Stanford in Government, the Daily, Ultimate Frisbee, Jazz Orchestras, theatre and comedy groups, and, of course, hackathons. We also have sick alumni network. Our alumni are leaders in industries like finance, law, medicine, tech, and business. Not to mention AEPi National has connections in every job sector imaginable (did you know Mark Zuckerberg was an AEPi). We are a brotherhood of individuals with divers ethnic, religious, and political backgrounds who come together to have a good time and add some spice to campus life. Its a fraternity of men who want to be more than just frat boys. You should join us. 13!

! ! -Delta Tau Delta-

Welcome to rush. With many excellent organizations to choose from at Stanford, the task of choosing a fraternity that you will associate with for the next few years of your college experience may seem overwhelming. As you journey through this important and exciting time in your life, we encourage you to take the time to get to know what each fraternity on campus has to offer. That being said, we firmly believe you will find that T can offer you an incredible experience unlike any other. One of the great benefits of T is its size. Our focus lies in creating the best possible scenarios for our brothers, and our relatively small size allows us to put more efforts into smaller events such as mixers with sororities, rafting trips, and road trips to away football games. As a smaller group, we are able to form closer bonds with our brothers and host smaller events for our own guests and ourselves rather than have many large all-campus parties, although we do have a few annual all-campus events as well. Our brothers are accomplished athletes, entrepreneurs, musicians, and community service leaders. Our membership reflects the wide variety of talent on Stanfords campus and these diverse strengths bring us together as leaders, making it easy to support each other in our individual pursuits. The Stanford Delts have a history of excellence. Two of our recent alums are playing in the NFL. And have you heard of John Arrillaga, Jim Plunkett, or John Elway? Yeah, they were all Delts. As one of the longest standing institutions on campus with over 110 years of history, the Stanford Delts have an impressive alumni network. Ask your parents or their friends and you will quickly find out what T was known for back in the day. Delta Tau Delta continues to be an impressive fraternity that produces impressive alumni, not just another house on campus that hosts cool parties. Along with the strength of 17!

! ! our own alumni network, the network we have created at national and division conferences makes traveling around the country a breeze. In addition to throwing awesome mixers and parties, taking trips with brothers, and forming close bonds with the entire T family, Delts also serve the community. Members of our fraternity volunteer at the local childrens hospital and help out at an elementary school in East Palo Alto. We also often partner with sororities to help promote and organize community events that help raise awareness and funds. Weve also been one of the first Delt chapters to work with our new philanthropy partner, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. T is looking for leaders who want to contribute to the success of our fraternity and continue our tradition of excellence both on campus and after graduation. In return, you will find lifelong friendships with a tight knit group of brothers who will help you grow and develop as a person and a great set of memories to look back on long after you leave Stanford. While we may not have a house to offer, the University hooks you up with that, and you still get to enjoy the benefits of living with girls and non-Greek friends. However, the University cannot guarantee incredible memories with a great group of friends who support each other throughout the best and worst of times, and have a ton of fun along the way.

K -Kappa Sigma-

Think back to admit weekend when you were just a skinny, pimple-ridden, high schooler pumped to chat up some rando from Harvard-Westlake at BROC party. Fast-forward one year, and now youre a proud member of Kappa Sigma sporting a robust stache, smooth skin, and even smoother moves. And youre still amped for BROC party. But what if we told you it gets better? As a prominent social hub on campus, Kappa Sigma boasts an arsenal of gatherings, all of which feature artists ranging from in house DJ Grovemau5 to ber-celebrity Kanye West (via iPod). The bass is loud enough to shake the walls of Munger, and the lost-and-found is comprised exclusively of lanyards, iPhones, and about six hundred faces. Why study abroad when you have Eurotrash? But lets get down to the nitty-gritty. The Beta Zeta chapter of Kappa Sigma was founded in 1896 on a tradition of excellence. We expect excellence from our members in all aspects of their lives. Excellence in their academics, personal behavior, extracurriculars, community service, sleep habits, hygiene, dancing ability, etiquette, and reading comprehension. Our house has a tremendous legacy at this school not only of producing great men, but also fighting for diversity and reform. We have a large and active alumni base, and each member has an alumni mentor with whom they share a personal and professional relationship.

21!

! ! Kappa Sigma is about making connections. We have athletes, artists, engineers, economists and everything in between, all of whom share the bond of brotherhood and a common love for our house. We work hard, play hard, and make the most of our time here. So if youre down to spend the next three years rolling around the PAC 12 in a Winnebago, spending spring days at the beach and winter ones on the slopes, and feasting on Juan Carlos dank chalupas, then come check us out. Perhaps youll meet some guys you can see yourself living with; perhaps youll pre-assign to Oak Creek. Either way there will be fun, free food, and vigorous man flirting. See you at rush.

K - PHI KAPPA PSI

Live Ever. Die Never. Phi Kappa Psi. Three phrases that embody a spirit of brotherhood and excellence rivaled by no other student group on campus. Unsure about what fraternity life has to offer and what you would get out of the experience? Many of our brothers had similar questions before recruitment, but youll be hardpressed to find one that regrets his choice. What does it mean to be a Phi Psi? We are, above all, a diverse collection of gentlemen. We hail from all walks of life, and no one label can truly capture the essence of what it means to be a Phi Psi. Our brothers are passionate and involved in a variety of activities and leadership positions: our house boasts a variety of club athletes, student activists, DJs, members of Solar Car, and musicians to name a few. Many of our brothers are also in staff positions all around campus. Through all of this diversity, though, Phi Psis share a bond summed up in the simple word Brotherhood. Stated plainly, were a group of guys from around the world who have found in Phi Psi a rich source of life experience, stories well be telling for the rest of our lives, and a dynamic group of men were proud to call brothers. Living in Phi Psi is an experience like none other. How could living in a row house with 35 of your best friends be anything else? Since weve moved into 592 Mayfield ten years ago, we have left and continue to leave our mark on campus in exciting and unique ways. Our dedication to serving Stanford and the community is unparalleled on campus: brothers routinely get involved in programs such as the Boys and Girls 23!

X - Sigma Chi -

Stanfords first and oldest housed Fraternity, Sigma Chi proudly combines tradition and achievement with an unparalleled commitment to providing a high-quality experience during college and beyond. Sigma Chi is unlike any other Greek Chapter on campus. We bring together ambitious men, with varying interests who share a common goal: to get the most out of college and form a close group of brothers in the process. We are athletes, musicians, scholars and leaders, together making a fraternity of truly amazing people. Our uniqueness extends to our house, as well: we own ita claim that no other fraternity on campus can make. Spend some time around the House and you will undoubtedly feel the real difference between the atmosphere in Sigma Chi and every other row house. Recently, we completed a $3 million campaign worth of renovations, further ensuring Sigma Chi as the finest residence on the Farm. Year after year, Sigma Chi serves as one of the pillars of the Stanford social scene. From our signature parties like Cowabunga and Graffiti Party, to our weekly Penthouses and regular mixers with sororities, it is fair to say that we have a great time. Numerous date events for brothers and their guests are held throughout the year, 27!

! ! like our Christmas party and the spring formal in San Francisco. Pilgrimages to Tahoe, Vegas, Shasta, andmost recentlyto the Fiesta and Rose Bowls, are also a staple of the House. However, the Sigma Chi experience is about more than just partying. While our brothers certainly play hard, we also believe in working hard. In addition to hosting inspiring professors and awarding Sigma Chi scholarships for academic excellence, we promote academia by genuinely supporting and encouraging each other as students. Without question, Sigma Chi has the closest ties with its alumni of any Greek group on campus, providing career connections and social networks that last a lifetime. Over the years, these alumni relations have helped many brothers secure jobs and internships in everything from investment banking and startups, to biotech companies and microbreweries. Moreover, these associations reflect both the strength of our alumni relations and the excellence shown by our active members. Sigma Chi also has a very proud tradition of giving back to the community. One of our strongest efforts is our weekly SPOON feed, in which we team up with the ladies of Theta to prepare and serve meals at the Palo Alto Opportunity Center. We are also leading a new tutoring program working with East Palo Alto students, where we bring underprivileged kids to the house and help them with homework each week, providing a strong foundation of guidance and mentorship. Perhaps most notably, our Chapter carries on the renowned Sigma Chi tradition of Derby Days. With the help of the ISC sororities, we have raised thousands of dollars for the Childrens Miracle Network and Huntsman Cancer Institute through this event. And we look forward to making Derby Days an even bigger event at Stanford this spring. Most importantly, what characterizes our house is a solid foundation of brotherhood; it is what binds together our different temperaments, talents, and convictions, and leads to lifelong friendships. If you are drawn to any of the above, we welcome you to come hang out at the House anytime and see if Sigma Chi is right for you.

N - Sigma Nu

The Sigma Nu Fraternity for Men is a Legion of Honor dedicated to Love, Truth, and one other thing. Sigma Nu as a national fraternity has its proud origins in Virginia shortly after the Civil War. Sigma Nu at Stanford was founded in 1891 by the venerable Carl Lane Clemens. Beta Chi Chapter was the first chapter of Sigma Nu established on. Are you still reading? I would tell you to put it down because this excerpt about Sigma Nu will tell you nothing but of our attempt to entertain you during this awesome meeting. So what is this fraternity all about? Sigma Nu prides itself on being diverse. What that means is that a lot of its members probably would have never met each other if they hadnt joined. We have athletes (including an Olympic contender), budding politicians (half the senior class presidents and an ASSU Senator), actors, RAs, volunteers, musicians. During the quarter we can be found supporting our brothers at DJing at parties around campus, in plays, and at sporting events (ever seen someone quadruple back flip in a gymnastics meet? us neither but that would be sick). We are all Stanford students and we all know working can be a drag so the house is a really awesome place to kick it be during the day too, hanging out on the lawn playing games or on the basketball court, our speakers are always laying down the phattest of beats (is that a what theyre calling it these days?) ! 29!

! ! Sigma Nu has a social calendar of events like mixers, progressives, formals, and chapter development nights (read: summoning of the bros). Whether its the extreme taco bell challenge (two 40 oz beverages, 14 items from the T-bell value menu), or delicious food from our new chef Ralph we always eat like kings. Besides social gatherings, Sigma Nu provides members with the opportunity to put on philanthropy events like Sigma Boo (its a Halloween night for little kids we really like puns) and Snowchella (i.e. huge concert for charity with over $12,000 in lights and speakers). It also puts members in contact with opportunities like tour guiding, Sierra Camp staffing, and student theatre, in addition to more boring but probably fruitful exploits like internships, research opportunities, and job openings. Chubbies, Instagram, Charles Schwab, Verbling? Ever heard of those companies? Each has at least one founder from Sigma Nu, Beta Chi Chapter. Plus, what other house do you know that has a balcony? Exactly. We here at Sigma Nu would love for you to come and visit. If youre intrigued, come chill. Best of luck in the Rush process (And make sure to ask about Falconry nights).

X - Theta Delta Chi -

Theta Delt is in its daily operation a living, breathing, coughing manifestation of the accomplishments of men in brotherhood. Its brothers include dedicated academics, athletes of distinction, artists, writers, thespians of inspiration, surfers, skaters, chillers, and, last but not least, bros of the highest order. Among houses on the row, our location is central, and is known by many as a beacon, lighting the way from Scary Path to familiar freshman ground. Our festivities are among, and widely considered the leaders of, the coolest fiestas in the Stanford community. Bops, brews, and breezy livin' are the pillars of life in our section of the world. Our kitchen-lounge social setup includes two separate state-of-the-art speaker systems, as well as comprehensive lighting, a custom built DJ booth, and a stage on which the TDX house band, Dire Times, makes the occasional appearance, attracting fratstars and groupies alike to partake in rollicking gyration. Yes, we are hard working gentlemen, but we dont mind an occasional break to let the rest of Stanford catch up. Celebs gotta do what celebs gotta do. Partying at Theta Delt is an experience unlike any other; the sights, the sounds, the tastes youd think you died and ended up in Vegas. Our parties are kind of like Inception. We typically consolidate 33!

! ! our party-throwing experience to one open party a quarter, though it usually hits the student body with the force of eight to ten open parties. In addition to these parties, we host many closed events throughout the quarter, typically with one of our many gorgeous sister sororities (not in a biological sense, so you know, its cool). In fact, these lovely ladies are around so often, and in such huge crowds, that were often mistaken for a sorority. Im having trouble typing this right now because two, wait, three, girls want to play FIFA 13 with me. What about daily life? It's chill, super chill, all the time. Our chef, Walter Sobchak was the personal chef for Kevin Costner and the founder of Jack in the Box. He was also a pro skater and the first person to snowboard, ever. Brothers of The Delt represent a number of interests and pursuits. Our intramural basketball and football teams compete at the highest level. With our own basketball and volleyball courts, pick-up games are standard operating procedure in the Dojo. Musicians, the occasional chapter consultant, and Kirk (on Friday and Saturday night) find their home in the band room, where equipment and partners-in-the-jam are available most any time. Theta Delts also demonstrate a vested interest in philanthropic activity, a fact demonstrated this year at the Autism Speaks U Dodgeball Challenge, where the crusading residents of the pledge ghetto lost in a narrow championship match to the leaping ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta. Come one, come all. Chillers, philosophers, athletes, academics and all others. Check out what having a darn good time is all about. !
