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. Read on to learn about major sorority stereotypes and reputations for 10 of the largest organizations. Most of the girls who were debutantes with me were Pi Phis. Pi Phi is a good chapter. Mar 13, 2019 2:37:18 AM What are the sorority reputations at UT? 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.
