It all depends on who you ask obviously, but the best overall is Sig Ep. They have the biggest manpower, the best GPA, currently have 8 football players rushing this spring, and are well connected socially.

This isn't the place to bash other fraternities.  SigEp does have standards for new members to join contrary to popular belief and the football players are going through a legitimate process just like any other new member would.

As far as I know, Sig Ep gives a bid to any one who walks thru their front door, so that might explain their "manpower"...

Sig Ep has a "Balanced Man" program. Other fraternities have this such as SAE's "True Gentlemen" or Beta's "Men of Principle". Below is some information. Basically you are welcomed as a "Sigma" brother upon rushing. Once you become a "Sigma" you can never join another IFC organization as you are thought of as being intiated, thus some people being led to believe they dont have a true rush process.

-------------------------------------------------------------

The Balanced Man Program consists of four challenges labeled Sigma, Phi, Epsilon, and Brother Mentor. Each challenge consists of outcomes defined by expectations that progressively develop a member as a balanced man with a Sound Mind in a Sound Body and a balanced servant leader. These outcomes show the member how to apply SigEp's Cardinal Principles of Virtue, Diligence, and Brotherly Love into his daily life.

A new SigEp brother is welcomed and integrated into the chapter with the introductory phase of the program, the Sigma Challenge. He must complete a program based on self-discovery, chapter activities, and service-learning. After completing the Sigma Challenge, he enters the Phi Challenge, which is centered on understanding the benefits of fraternalism, building balance, and cultivating the values and knowledge that a man needs to excel at college, SigEp, and life. Here, more advanced tasks await him that include becoming a member of other on-campus organizations and taking a leadership role in the chapter. The third challenge in the Balanced Man Program is the Epsilon Challenge, centered on brothers as leaders by exploring the issues a servant leader faces. Reaching this challenge, the brother has a full understanding of the Fraternity. The brother is also expected to hold an executive or chairman position in both the chapter and at least one outside organization. The Brother Mentor challenge challenges the brother to develop and utilize the skills of a servant leader, especially as a mentor. These include a service-learning undertaking and outcomes that involve the brother in improving the chapter as a whole, in particular as a mentor for the less experienced chapter members.

All challenges in the Balanced Man program are self-paced. Although the outcomes of each challenge are set, the expectations that achieve those outcomes can be tailored to suit the chapter's and the individual Brother's needs. Each of the challenges engages the member with the rest of the chapter, building a stronger brotherhood through doing important, meaningful things together.

Chapters are accepted into the Balanced Man Program only after an overwhelming majority of the chapter votes to convert from pledging model to Balance Man Project Chapter. New Sigma Phi Epsilon chapters are started as Balanced Man Program Chapters. Once a chapter becomes a Balanced Man Program chapter they are not permitted to return to the pledging model of member development. The Fraternity has a goal nationally that 90% of the undergraduate chapters will use the Balanced Man Program for member development by 2011.
