Just behind Theta in that respect. 1870s? Care about money, looks, and highschool GPA. I have never seen them as top tier at any school I have observed. I'll let someone else tell you about them. And if you think you need to be in a sorority to "be somebody" you need therapy. They're smart in that way.They use their elevated social status to close the court doors. Interesting how it all works. Any young woman considering joining a sorority- take my advice. The sorority has now grown to include 155 active chapters in the U.S. and Canada. Hard to rank AEPhi. Most sororities include philanthropic activities, which can range from working with local non-profits to fundraising or helping maintain the sorority house and grounds. Thats what we call panhellenic spirit, which this website clearly lacks!!!! They know how to party, and they'll dress in the sluttiest attire ever when doing so. Didn't find your school?Request for your school to be featured on GreekRank. How incredibly short-sighted. Tri Delt should take notes. If you pledge to a sorority and then think it isnt for you, decide on joining before the initiation process. Pi Phi/ Theta AOE. Alpha Phi got more girls rushing PKT than Chi O, Tri Delt or Zeta because they didnt drop those girls first day! Can you do anything about this? The best way to find out whether a sorority is right for you is to participate in recruitment activities and talk with current members. Every chapter within a sorority is different. So my assumption is that you are going into rush without knowing (m)any girls in the chapters. Beautiful, classy, intelligent girls are in APHI! Usually gives a few COBs. Zeta did have a great year but you guys are not rushing against PKT. Behavior Concerns and COVID-19 Advice Line (BCCAL), Report Sexual Harrassment or Sexual Misconduct. THERE IS NOT A BAD HOUSE AT UTplease dont drink the kool aide They all have mixers with fraternities, date parties, formals, etc. Chapters that are complacent about what they think can never happen will be caught off guard by the rise or groups that have their eye on the ball.

Connections not necessary but people usually have them. Also girls from wealthy areas who have strong connections. If you pledge a sorority and then aren't sure it's right for you, make your decision before the initiation process. Tim Truzy from U.S.A. on December 11, 2018: Having met women from different sororities over my life, I generally accept your assessment here. Nice girls tho who are looking for a sisterhood. Dont know much about KD or ADPI. Greek Rank is no place to bepurely a blood bath by people who know nothing about UT Greek Life. I forgot to include DG. They are rushing some of same girls as Chi O, Pi Phi, and Theta for sure but they are taking the good girls some might say boring. 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. However, DZ women are also known for their strong sisterhood and mutual support. Possibly because of this, other Greek organizations have highly polarized opinions about Zetas. Or, maybe they will just end up in DDD because they were cut from PKT but who cares! After being exposed to many sororities in my sophomore year in college, I arrived at these decisions and learned a bit through osmosis.. AXOs are nice and friendly, which can make them somewhat classy. You will find some houses that feel welcoming, some that dont and that all depends on you as a person. Here's a list of all of them. PKT, Chi O, Zeta, and DG were very accurate. X Pi Lambda Chi Latina Sorority, Inc. AXD may be bottom but they are great! (They can definitely handle their liquor.) For instance, nationally ChiO is "Make-A-Wish" and DG is "Service for Sight." Lower Top Tier: Tri Delt They just want to have fun. No matter what sorority it is you'll find beautiful women inside and out that want to achieve great things. Zeta: Less classy than Chi O and Tri Delt, usually girls who prioritize their reputation and their instagram pictures over everything else. A fellow DZ is our Panhellenic President now for 2020. A lot of these are inaccurate. Sure, being a freshman gives you a better chance because you will be a 4-year member, but at the same time, sometimes the older girls that join halfway through college end up being stronger members for the short time they are there, and it also sets you apart from all the freshmen who are rushing because you are different! Very nice/smart girls. What works for one person may not work for another. Talk about bad publicity, and self-induced to boot D: http://gawker.com/5994974/the-most-deranged-sorori Pi Phi gets the 'Best' girls, (i.e. Particularly on a very large campus, undergraduates can benefit from the friendship and support a sorority offers. I'd say Chi O is more top tier and Pi Phi is universal top tier. So I'm a DZ and actually most of us are pretty attractive (believe it or not). Some sororities have a bigger reputation for drinking and partying than others. Recruitment may officially start in August, but the active members of the sororities have been behind the scenes recruiting since the winter and some incoming freshmen have been recruitment targets for years. Delta Zeta is probably the hardest to get in on our campus. Generally rich, classy, snobby, and brunettes Who are equestrians. Chi O did end up rushing against Kappa because Kappa branches out more than Pi Phi and Theta so Chi O has to rush against them. Chi-Os and Kappa Alpha Thetas are top tier sororities at our school. 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. :) Theta love. Seriouslyagainclueless. Based on what they have told me, I agree with most of what has already been said. These commonly-held opinions give an idea of each sorority's culture, values, and image. You will find some houses that balance GPA, socials and charity work and some that dont do that so well. I'm a 00s alum from a house that used to sit very comfortably just beneath the Big 6. AOIIs can have the reputation of being "srat" girls - sorority girls who hangout with a particular fraternity on campus. ADPi Zetas PC18 is not even in the same league as Chi-O and DDD. Many other sororities say they are hot in a fake way, with heavy use of makeup and a bit of a princess complex. Their PC18 is incredible. Every chapter, every year is different. I'd hope that by now people would be able to see how each organization is full of unique and diverse members who find shared values in their organization. Sure, there are a few nerdier girls in DG and KD and ADPi has some quiet girls but those are all great chapters as is AXD. i think everyone can agree that this is wrong. I just gotta say, for the people criticizing livelonger, don't. Here are the country's leading sororities that are best known for their contributions to their colleges and universities, and the society: Delta Sigma Theta. Especially those that try to tell you what an organization of thousands of women across the entire US is like. Having stellar grade matter. AXiD: Seven years ago they were the worst sorority. A lot of these girls didn't have connections when going though rush. I don't get why the Thetas aren't on this list. :). No need for competition and comparison. Then it's between Tri-Delt, Theta, and DG. I find that college is s great place to create lasting friendships, with or without a sorority. But some of these sound really fun! Pi Beta Phi? I feel bad talking negatively about them because Ive never met a DG that I didnt like. Every house at UT has something to offer. 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. I would venture to say your fraternity life was short and you are disparately trying to relive your college life. Anyone who goes here knows original post isnt accurate. I feel like the elephant in the room is ADPi. I agree that you have to look at each campus to determine the "worth" of a sorority. Good luck!

At this point I have to assume you have already submitted all of your letters of recommendations and done the required paper work for recruitment. Colleges and Universities A-Z TCU. I'm hoping some of you who have researched or have experience with TCU can . Most down to earth girls I've ever met. (Hang w/ some AXO, some KD/DG + Delt, some Sigma Chi, some Kappa Sig) Chi O is a good chapter. (Hang w/ some Tri delt, Alpha phi + Delt, some Sigma Chi, some Sig Ep) They got lots of girls who made it through two rounds of at least one of PKT but then got dropped. Theta girls are a lot more "fun" and Kappa girls are more "nice" girls. Each chapter varies and although SOME of these stereotypes are similar to those on my campus, some are so far from it. Kappa did very well. PC18 preferred all the sororities above. Kappa Kappa Gamma is the definitely at the bottom of the middle tier or top of the bottom tier. AXD Yea KKG! Delta Gamma: Ten years ago they were a lot stronger of a house than they are now. Not a good rush for them. To attempt to generalize thousands and thousands of women based on a national chapter is humorous to me. I did and I am happier than ever in my sorority. Some sororities are more social than others, hosting parties and events while others are more low-key. Usually nice girls, not a ton of super pretty girls though. Top Tier: Zeta, Chi-O Most likely the girl that says she will only go XYZ or AB will be cut by those two houses and she will either eat crow or drop out. A lot of incoming high school ladies accepted to UT who end up having the most successful recruitment experiences: 1) Get started preparing for recruitment early. Pi Beta Phi is known as Pi Bitchy Phi and is the recognitized,as far and above,'The Top' sorority on my huge Greek-led campus. I will be a new student next year and wanna rush, and am curious about the sororities and what the chapters are like here.

You will find some houses that have crazy pride and splash their letters all over the place and you will find some that dont really care. Simone Haruko Smith from San Francisco on June 27, 2011: What a cool overview, livelonger! I disagree on ADPi. They are held to a higher standard, which pushes them to be the best that they can be. But just looking at their PC compared to KD and even AXD was a shock.

Greek life at UT has been wonderful for my daughter, but she had to go in with an open mind and keep it. Any answers you can provide will be helpful . You would already know what the chapters are like. It's different at all schools, but at my school were known as being the funnest sorority to party with and we have the best sisterhood. That's the truth. DG seawolf93 April 22, 2019, 4:16pm #1. 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. And the KD's are definitely a hodge podge, but I love em! Every one of their pledge classes is worse than the last. 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). Where do you even see that? (Hang w/ Pi Phi and Kappa + SAE (Texas Rho) and some Fiji) Before you type:Remember, do not post names, initials, or any derogatory content. And if you are a girl reading this whos interested in joining greek life, dont listen to this shit. DGs tend to enjoy a level of respect among other sororities and fraternities.

They call it mutual selection but really the sororities are selecting, and the PNMs are choosing from these options after the sororities have made their decisions. Good Standing is reported at beginning of each semester and reflects outcome of the prior semester program. Kappa is slipping after being kicked out of Rollins. KD is nothing except in the South, same with Zeta, which folded. This sorority seems more concerned about recruiting a wide range of girls, which can make chapters diverse and interesting, than recruiting the most "beautiful" girls. The words youll often hear about DGs are nice, social butterflies, and good girls. Their good girl reputation means they typically dont tolerate mean girl cattiness. Also remember that each sorority is special in their own way and just because you arent in the same chapter as your friend or someone else doesnt mean you cant be friends or be supportive of their chapter. What happened? Usually pretty and party a lot but like AXO don't get big 6 because they are missing something(could be looks, outgoing personality, etc.) Hard to tell if it is Theta, Zeta or AZD self promoting. Also, I know several Kappa Kappa Gamma's from other schools, and boy are you right about them! Ole Miss, Bama, LSU who cares! Not good from everything i'm reading and I don't know how accurate it is. Tri Delt: Really outgoing and fun girls. Pi Phi is cheer or dance types. Just like Lambda Chis for guys. Isn't a lot of this subject to what school you are at? Fortunately, you correctly pointed out these are generalization because from campus to campus there are important differences and from region to region. Thats so nice!!!!! Those young ladies are awesome. Alpha Phi. They are known for hazing and weak sisterhood. Your class is beautiful but that isnt what is most important to some chapters. GPA requirement, population, "goals") then go Here. I wonder if anyone is helping them out. 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. And the real beauty of the system is that during the "rush" period, EVERYONE, is doing their best to impress. The Pi Phis were from 4 different schools, and they were all the most beautiful group of girls, classy, richer than the 1 Kappa, and fun. Chi-Os are known for academics and being the good girls. Girls are also pretty here and usually have strong connections as well. 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. What are the sorority reputations at UT? If they didn't like you,you knew it. They are leaders. Tri-Delts tend to be heavily invested in philanthropy and prefer to be labeled "classy" over "fun to party with," although they do not want to be considered boring. They're not generally the most beautiful women on campus. This is actually pretty accurate and is just making the people who think the sororities cant change ever mad, but every other school has relative rankings that shift over time its normal. Pi Phis tend to be arrogant, and really don't care what people think of them, they seem to be above it all. I've heard a lot about PKT, Pi Phi ,Kappa, Theta, because they all go after rich girls. There is a wide variety, culturally, from one sorority to another. Go to whatever campus you, your daughter, etc. Also, they're extremely confident girls, and they really do not care what others think about them. Well, they will have bail $. Greek life is a fantastic experience where so many memories and bonds are made and stereotypes should not be considered during recruitment. 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. Pi Phi and Tri Delt are usually pretty strong up there as well. Jason Menayan (author) from San Francisco on June 27, 2011: I can completely understand. Nevertheless, recruiting in this fashion does attract beautiful girls. Zeta Tau Alpha tends to be far more popular in the South than elsewhere in the country. Thetas are hot and WILD.

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! Ask past and current members, and even people who rushed but did not join for whatever reason, about their opinion of a sorority. This is absolutely absurd. <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! Dont have to be pretty to get in. I can see why a Zeta would think they are the best though. Theta: Similar to Pi Phi as girls usually have been told they will be a theta before rush week begins. With national chapters having hundreds of thousands of members you can't possibly categorize all of them into a few nasty words. Sorority and Fraternity Life welcomes new members, develops leaders, and advises council communities. Kappas are the rich girls some are cute but some are not, they basically let girls in who have financial means. From my school they take the girls who are willing to stay in rush that no one else will take. If KD is a top-tier and that is the South only. I went DG, (slu++y/partners) reputation but undeserved, except for 30-40%. This is literally obnoxious. Theyve got great mixers. This is very interesting stuff. They are incredibly happy there and I was shocked frankly that they rushed to begin with. Sorry. Some sororities have close ties to fraternities on the same campus and get together informally and for major events. Overall, they are nice girls. And dont let some guy on the internet define what youre chapter is. Chi O, Delta Zeta, Alpha Phi, and Alpha Chi Omega were pretty accurate according to the different campuses I have visited. So much wrong about this. 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. All Sorority and Fraternity Organizations at UT Austin No specific reputation here, usually not as pretty as the other big 6. I have always been anti-sorority and wouldn't have been caught dead joining one myself--but I have changed my mind. AEPhi: Fun party girls. Lower tier. Chi O: About 50/50 party girls and non-party girls. Those girls that went AXD are beautiful And would easily have fit in with DG if there was room. Kappa Delta (KD) is considered an up-and-coming sorority, one that has risen to the top-tier in terms of reputation in recent decades. hey!! They are known as the exclusive ones. This is why sorority stereotypes exist. Thank you! Anyone and everyone ever involved in the Greek System is obviously going to be biased toward their sorority or the sorority that all of their friends are in. Pi Beta Phi girls (Pi Phis) are considered by most to be top-tier but also have a reputation as fake and superficial. Pi Phi is the beautiful, richest sorority on top at my HUGE frat/sor oriented school and kappa and Chi o are the bottom. I dont know much about the rest. Nice enough. Almost impossible to get into unless you know a ton of girls in the chapter, are beautiful, and from an affluent neighborhood. Now their National name is Kappa Kappa Gramma. Some would consider Kappa top house at UT. When they put on this show of being social, they can become unclassy and sloppy.

,

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. Lots of pretty girls and girls who are good at pretending their pretty. Again, to get in you need to know people, be beautiful, and be from the right areas. My fear is that rather than focusing on things you can control (conversation skills, brushing up your resume, getting recs in order, rush wardrobe, grooming) you are looking for something that quite frankly, you are going to have very little control over at all.

Go to greekchat.com, search for UT threads and READ the advice provided. DG has been dropping for last few years. Upper Top Tier: Theta, Pi Phi, Kappa (aka PKT) This community aims to promote leadership, academic success, to give back to the community, to build strong bonds of siblinghood, and develop a diverse and inclusive community. I see Chi O as a mix of Theta and Kappa type girls just below PKT. Seriously. Your chapter sisters are the ones you need to mesh with. I also know they party--but that is not their focus (particularly after freshman year!) Because of this genetic characteristic, a Pi Phi is usually at home wearing gold . Fraternities Sororities University of Texas at Austin - UT Fraternities Total Fraternities: 38 Overall Average: 63.2% Fraternities - By Name Sort By: Name | Rank Name Rate Ratings Grade Stars Acacia Rate 191 63.65% Alpha Epsilon Pi - Rate 92 64.85% Alpha Sigma Phi - Rate 20 58.55% Alpha Tau Omega - Rate 223 69.38% Beta Chi Theta - Usually need connections but if you are outgoing/pretty enough with a little bit of luck you can get in. Agreed that different universities hold sororities in different esteem!! Pi Beta Phi, and Kappa Kappa Gamma are generally considered top tier across the country, with some exceptions. All of our chapters are unique, so women have been able to find chapters suited to their needs. :) we aren't one of the "competitive/elite" groups but that's what i love about us! Alpha Omicron Pi. I was blessed for 2 years to travel around the country and spend time with sorority girls in 30 states and numerous chapters. Trust the process. I am at a TX college and top tier is Kappa, Theta and Pi Phi. However their PC18 was better than AChiOs,DGs,KDs, and ADPis. I dont think ADPi, KD, and DG rush based on looks. Yes, the Pi Phi National standard of being beautiful, rich, blonde, and'hot' is upheld. The consensus, if there is one, is that Chi Omega is respected but not necessarily exalted among sororities. They do have a reputation, like Kappa, of being snobby, but Kappa seems to care more about their 'image' than Theta or Pi Phi. (Hang w/ Pi Phi og Theta + Fiji og nogle SAE) Tri Delt: Virkelig udadvendte og sjove piger. Not to mention some bitter girls who didn't get in just like to spread misinformation to make themselves feel better.

,

Focus on what you can control, enjoy getting to meet new people and stop stirring up trash talk

,

No one here should discuss sorority reputations, and certainly not name names, because frankly with over 200 girls in each house you really cant pigeonhole them that way.
