Two-part question here:

1) Which fraternities at LSU have changed significantly over the last 20-30 years?

2) Back in the day, some fraternities had a definite 'geographical'slant.....for example, one fraternity was known for having a number of LC guys, another for Alexandria guys, etc etc.....has this held up through the years?

Fiji and Acacia have changed the most. DKE, KA, Sig Nu's are the same.

Back in the day, SAE had several big groups, Shreveport, Alex and Lake Charles. The rest of the frat was one or two from all points elsewhere.

Only things that change are the brands they wear

When I transferred to LSU in the mid 90's the greeks were about where you went to High School as much as where you were from.. At least from the bigger cities. I didn't affiliate because of this and wasn't going to go through pledgeship again..

My dad was in the one that got kicked off of campus and had their house burn down, so I'd say they changed a lot

when I started in 1996 SAE was big.

1997 not so much.

in other words, frats quit going to murphys.

When I joined Theta Xi about 6-7 years ago we had around a 25 person pledge class. Now they're pulling in 65 kids at rush. Rush/House parties seem to be their specialty at the moment. They also greatly improved their house.

But when you grow in size, you lose that closeness you had with every member in the fraternity.

SAE never changes. You can bet on it. Coast to coast.
