With that out of the way, SoccerGirlNYC had some pretty sage advise. Majority of the school hates them. Not every sorority is going to have the same reputation on every campus, and trust me, reading this crap will just make you miserable during recruitment. Some rely on their old reputation, even though their reality is not quite as shiny. Pi Beta Phi at Arkansas is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of what is posted on here. With national chapters having hundreds of thousands of members you can't possibly categorize all of them into a few nasty words. The sorority has now grown to include 155 active chapters in the U.S. and Canada. Every house at UT has something to offer. Its hard to generalize about a sororitys reputation nationwide; there are many differences from campus to campus. Terrible physical house. (They can definitely handle their liquor.) Time to get with the times and realize that the top houses are no longer in the south and east and beauty and wealth are not considered as much as grades, sports and philanthropy. Anyone who goes here knows original post isnt accurate. An individual's personal experiences might corroborate one or more of these, or they might stand in direct contradiction of them. Take Pi Phi, for instance it says they have a reputation for being a fake (and reputation does not equal reality), but check out this quote: "Many consider them to be obsessed with their looks, and have body image issues. X Pi Lambda Chi Latina Sorority, Inc.

Based on what they have told me, I agree with most of what has already been said. is usually a top tier sorority and the girls in it are wonderful.. Every sorority has partiers, so nothing should make aphi stand out in that area. Delta Zeta (DZ) girls are generally considered approachable and easy to talk to. <p>I understand that as soon as a thread like this is started, people are re-directed to Greek Rank, but Greek Rank is horrible and biased! Even if you don't think sororities are for you, I would suggest just giving it a shot.
,Bash me all you want for not waiting until recruitment to find these things out on my own, but I don't want to buy into a perfect front that girls put up and be stuck with a house of coke heads.
,You may get some responses, but I think your energy is mis directed
,Quite frankly, very, very few PNMs will have much choice of where they are invited back to, or where they get a bid. Zeta: Amazing pledge class this year. Maybe because of the money they bring with them, their houses tend to be one of the nicest on campus. Theyre friendly and make everyone feel welcome, and they were really good at that during rush. THERE IS NOT A BAD HOUSE AT UTplease dont drink the kool aide They all have mixers with fraternities, date parties, formals, etc. Theta has more pretty girls and definitely a lot of party girls. Go to whatever campus you, your daughter, etc. If you pledge to a sorority and then think it isnt for you, decide on joining before the initiation process. Usually gives a few COBs. DG and Chi O are top of the middle tier with Phi Mu, and Kappa at the bottom. AXID is last. Kappa did very well. Kappa has less party girls and more YL girls than Pi Phi and Theta. The Pi Phis do tend to get the 'beauties', the Thetas get the 'jocks' and the Kappas get the 'partiers'. Kappa Kappa Gamma (Kappas) are known for being rich girls. Almost impossible to get into unless you know a ton of girls in the chapter, are beautiful, and from an affluent neighborhood. Most houses will already have an idea of girls they like before rush even starts.
,If you already know people in the houses, then you wouldnt be on here or Greekrank asking for reputations. I find that college is s great place to create lasting friendships, with or without a sorority. Most freshmen at all three of their pref nights went PKT. Many other sororities say they are hot in a fake way, with heavy use of makeup and a bit of a princess complex. The only reason a girl wants to join KD is because ADPi is her other choice. At the bottom tier is kappa kappa gamma, delta zeta, AZD, and kappa delta. Obviously every girl going through rush wants to get into the "best" sorority on their campus and wants to be part of the "top tier." They try to be the cool girls on campus. The sorority touts its diversity, but some say the standards are so loose that theres very little tying all Chi-Os together in terms of personality, looks, campus activity, or academic performance. Some would consider Kappa top house at UT. Lower Middle Tier: AChiO, DG Jason Menayan (author) from San Francisco on July 05, 2016: The title says it all: these are stereotypes. Its interesting because they seem to have almost no current rep at all. Zetas PC18 is not even in the same league as Chi-O and DDD. These commonly-held opinions give an idea of each sorority's culture, values, and image. They may like to act that way for reputation sake, but I know at least 10 who are on loans, student aid, etc. This is stupid. When they put on this show of being social, they can become unclassy and sloppy. The best way to find out whether a sorority is right for you is to participate in recruitment activities and talk with current members. They pick each other out before recruitment even begins. They are not regarded as nicebut not outright nasty either. Back to Topics in the News Background Summary The University of Texas at Austin has 1,100 registered student organizations, including close to 70 social sororities and fraternities. Tri-Delt: This years pledge class put DDD from Top Tier to Lower Top Tier. Girls that drop rather than be in these houses are making a big mistake. Not a sorority bid. So this may give you a better chance if you dont get a house you want the first time. F off with this. From the little I do know some sororities do charities and that is good in my book. Nice enough girls, but just kinda there. Definitely ChiO and KKG are the top tier at most schools. Also, they're extremely confident girls, and they really do not care what others think about them. The reputation of DG is that they are classy, supportive of each other, focused on girl-power, and heavily involved in campus activities. They are considered top tier at many schools. Most sororities include philanthropic activities, which can range from working with local non-profits to fundraising or helping maintain the sorority house and grounds. I can agree it has to be an objective sort, of survey that produces such varied results, but as there many kinds of, people, there must be many kinds of "groups" to belong to. This is why sorority stereotypes exist. DO NOT pay any attention to articles like this. But no, they are not improving. Many undergraduates are affiliated with fraternities and sororities, which often provide a sense of community and connection to other students that make their university experience positive and memorable. Feel like their PC was the weakest. Many girls who get AXD end up dropping. Alpha Phi is considered by many to be an upper mid-tier sorority. Get APhi and AXO leftovers. AXD AOE. The entire Student Services Building is excluded from the concealed carry of handguns. Because honestly, sororities aren't like what you see in the movies. Don't judge! nice, sweet, classy but exclusionary, not partyers, easy, fun, supportive, active in Greek life, partyers, fun, easy-going, social, not academically ambitious, quirky, major partyers, supportive, active in campus activities, classy, focused on girl power, not partyers, service-oriented, aloof, snobbish, not partyers, Southern, exclusive, hot in a fake way, partyers, low-profile, down-to-earth, involved in service, not partyers, fake, social, pretty, not service-oriented.

Beautiful, classy, intelligent girls are in APHI! You will find some houses that feel welcoming, some that dont and that all depends on you as a person. Most girls have a connection to get in here and usually have been told they will be a Pi Phi before rush week begins. Still a top tier house thats almost impossible to get into. The Office of the Dean of Students provides a variety of student support services along with opportunities for leadership experience, diverse student work environments, engaging programming and specialized resources. That will only spell disaster for yourself.
,OPPlease, Please,Please stay off of Greek Rankmost of the people that post on that site arent even greek and have no idea what they are taking aboutI really really wish that site didnt exist! So just saying "sororities aren't my thing" or "I'm not a sorority girl" is dumb to me. They got lots of girls who made it through two rounds of at least one of PKT but then got dropped. cant really rank the bottoms but if i had to choose i would choose adpi as top of bottom, their house is much prettier now and they got more attractive girls compared to other bottoms For more information, please visitcampuscarry.utexas.edu.

Their academic reputation is good, but they also have a reputation for avoiding tough majors in favor of less-demanding subjects that dont conflict with their social lives. However their PC18 was better than AChiOs,DGs,KDs, and ADPis. Theyve got a great house.

Not saying that they were more selective. Most down to earth girls I've ever met. They are at orientation and are attending the Frat parties and they are watching you. I've heard a lot about PKT, Pi Phi ,Kappa, Theta, because they all go after rich girls. The Kappas aren't rich like the Pi Phis and Thetas. How dare you pass judgement or share your lame impressions. It is probably true that it depends on the chapter, but most of your impressions are pretty accurate. Livelonger is giving the Pi Phi's a way out, maybe they aren't actually self-absorbed, and other people are just being a little petty and jealous. The university also received national recognition for Latino student success. and Kappa Kappa Gamma. With consistently high marks for physical attractiveness, sociability, and popularity, Pi Beta Phis certainly earn the envy of other sororities and the interest of fraternities. You are funny. Pi Beta Phi girls ("Pi Phis) are considered by most to be top-tier but also have a reputation as fake and superficial. I know the same can be said for users on here but I feel like CC isn't as saturated with Greeks.</p> <p>So, I am rushing in August at UT and am worried about some reputations having to do with sororities at UT. AEPhis are known to haze. For some it's all about family and money. The rest of us made great friends with other girls in our dorms or in our major.
,If you want to learn more about each house before recruitment, visit their individual websites. Particularly on a very large campus, undergraduates can benefit from the friendship and support a sorority offers. I dont think ADPi, KD, and DG rush based on looks. Houses that think all they have to do is take quota and that will keep them comfortably above AXiD will be wondering how they ended up on bottom. Girls are as classy as they want to be, the letters on their chest does not effect that. Less necessary for connections. Theta: IMO best pledge class. Carolee Samuda from Jamaica on June 23, 2011: Wow, all I knew about sororities before was from movies. Interesting how it all works. Alpha Phi girls are generally thought of as partiers who like to drink and have a good time. Okay so here are the real sorority rankings at UT Austin IMO Upper Top Tier: Theta, Pi Phi, Kappa (aka PKT) Theta: IMO best pledge class. Usually gives a few COBs. axid will always be bottom, nuf said. What Sorority Recruitment at the University of Texas is REALLY Like You asked about sorority recruitment at the UT, and we answered.or rather, we had our friend MacKenzie answer for us! They have a reputation for accepting those who were rejected by top-tier sororities and that they are a backup option for many. DG has been dropping for last few years. Seriously. A lot of these girls didn't have connections when going though rush. I'm not a member of either, but I read it and thought "Wow, somebody doesn't like the Pi Phis". Sisterhood is not a competition!! Sorry. Alpha Phi: A lot of girls who go A Phi as a backup to big 6. I hope that whoever wrote this or may read this can see beyond stereotypes. But be very careful not to fall in love with anyone specifically. Agreed on everything except AXO. Usually nice girls, not a ton of super pretty girls though. Which is best probably depends on what you think is important. Some sororities have close ties to fraternities on the same campus and get together informally and for major events. They may not talk to you, because they are not suppose to, but they are watching YOUR behavior.
,If you are coming to UT really raw, meaning no greek connections what so ever, you have a very large uphill battle. Trust the process. I mean they must race to the computer to drop anyone who is a hayseed/dork (Kappa), fat/jockish (Theta), ugly/tacky(Tri Delt) and they were 'nice enough' to give me 3 days. REAL feedback would be greatly appreciated. They have heavier girls in their sorority and would completely humiliate their pledges by making them strip down in front of their brother frat to circle 'prob' areas in a sharpie. As long as you realize that the average frat guy is not out for meaningful relationships (especially freshman and sophomore years) the better chance you have at not falling prey to the you are so special garbage. I don't even think they are trying to improve because they don't think there's anything wrong. Alpha Phi got more girls rushing PKT than Chi O, Tri Delt or Zeta because they didnt drop those girls first day!

Behavior Concerns and COVID-19 Advice Line (BCCAL), Report Sexual Harrassment or Sexual Misconduct. Those who say that AXiD will always be bottom don't have their eyes open on this one. These incidents dont define them either. I went DG, (slu++y/partners) reputation but undeserved, except for 30-40%. How incredibly short-sighted. I forgot to include DG. or have a bad reputation from high school. Pi Beta Phi isn't always like that, I know someone who is very nice and outgoing who is in Pi Beta Phi . Audrey Selig from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on August 24, 2013: My sorority is not on this list, but I am aware of Pi Phi, KD, Chi Omega. Have to agree with Lindsey right above me.

They take sisterhood seriously and try not to get caught up in drama, which might lead to the sentiment that they're aloof and snobbish. That one looks good to me. Alpha Gamma Delta. And, 2) Choose to work with a sorority rush coach to help prepare them for and guide them through recruitment. You said nice things about every chapter just to forget dg so you could say something rude. They and their friends are NOTHING like the disbarging comments. Because these girls are perceived to be confident, you will find some quirky and offbeat members among them and plenty who dont care what other sororities think. However, they do not want to be seen as boring, so they try hard to look like party girls. Shame on you. AXis PC is a lot prettier than ADPi, KD, and DGs pledge class from what Ive seen. Very beautiful girls (not as beautiful as Zeta but honestly any Zeta would have taken a Theta bid over Zeta). Three or maybe four girls, I think. Chi O is probably the most well-known sorority, especially in the South, and is a top-tier at many of those schools, not nationally. Each chapter differs from each campus, and obviously you didnt take that into consideration. Being in a sorority is something I can't explain in words. That thing that has changed the most is the KappaKappa Gammas are known for hazing. Some sororities are known for being very involved in campus life, which could be a good fit for a girl who enjoys group and club activities. The University of Texas at Austin is home to more than 65 national fraternity and sorority chapters. Can you do anything about this? While some have strong national cultures across all chapters, there are bound to be differences from one university or college to another. She did not attend any of the right camps or go to the most prestigious high schoolbut she ended up where she should have and she is very, very happy!
,Im not a part of Greek life, but I have many friends who are. Even with some of the negative comments (which are expected and should be from every house), I have to say that this is pretty spot on for Texas schools, Bama, and Ole miss (theta exception for rebels). AXiD had a great rush this year, but they have definitely not surpassed KD and ADPi by ANY means. i don't have much info on sororities but i am a freshman in texas angels! Overall Theta competes with Pi Phi and Kappa (less with Kappa in the past couple of years with their suspension for hazing and having to snap bid like twenty five girls a few years back). Rest looks spot on. Jason Menayan (author) from San Francisco on April 18, 2016: This article is extremely offensive. Very pretty, very smart, very snobbish. UConn, and Ohio State.

Proud KKG, but all of these sororities are amazing with outstanding members. Pi Phi and Tri Delt are usually pretty strong up there as well. However something happened and over the past few years they did a 180. Seriouslyagainclueless. I find this to be interestingly accurate for major generalizations about sororities.
