Not to mention some bitter girls who didn't get in just like to spread misinformation to make themselves feel better. The University of Texas at Austin is home to more than 65 national fraternity and sorority chapters. 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. I never felt compelled to join myself, but you are right, those that do good charity work should be admired. Upper Middle Tier: Alpha Phi Zeta Yes, the Pi Phi National standard of being beautiful, rich, blonde, and'hot' is upheld. Pi Phi is a good chapter. Mix of wild and good girls. 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.) Zeta did have a great year but you guys are not rushing against PKT. So, that becomes the best time to assess. DG has been dropping for last few years. IMO I dont think they will ever be quite on the same level as Theta and Pi Phi again. This is very interesting stuff. This is literally obnoxious. There is a wide variety, culturally, from one sorority to another. I see Chi O as a mix of Theta and Kappa type girls just below PKT. Acacia. Behavior Concerns and COVID-19 Advice Line (BCCAL), Report Sexual Harrassment or Sexual Misconduct. i don't have much info on sororities but i am a freshman in texas angels! (Hang w/ Tri Delt, some Zeta, and some PKT + Sig Ep, KA, and some Fiji) In fact, you shouldnt even be tiering sororities, because that shouldnt matter. They are running with PKT girls and are wilder than Pi phi or Kappaat least the non-Bible beater part of the chapter. I personally like Kappa better than Pi Phi or Theta but can see why others would prefer one of other two. They have found a place to do philanthropy, learn incredible study habits and make life-long friends. GIve your ego a rest and actually _try_ to go for the top girls and you might be surprised and end up winning them over. Nogle vil betragte Kappa som det bedste hus p UT. They're smart in that way.They use their elevated social status to close the court doors. I. Not one!!! Nice girls with a strong sisterhood. The Kappa chapter was shut down for drugs and hazing at Rollins and OSU, and dancing topless at SMU on bid day? the price is about 250 a semester compared to 2,000 for a sorority. KD Kappa: Ligesom Pi Phi og Theta, normalt velhavende piger. Find out for yourself by visiting during recruitment activities. The reputation of each sorority is DIFFERENT at every sorority you go to. They tend to have a strong sisterhood, and they can really develop strong bonds with particular frats. Very pretty, very smart, very snobbish. Preserving Latina Culture NICKNAME: Golden Chi's FOUNDED: University of Colorado Boulder, 1994 UT Austin: 2017 WEB: pilambdachisorority.org FACEBOOK: fb . They matter more to the houses with the top GPAs and sometimes even more to the ones that dont have top GPAs but want to move up on that list. Pi Phi has a mix of the two. 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. Pigerne er ogs smukke her og har normalt ogs strke forbindelser. They used to be seen as a step above KD and ADPi, but theyve been slipping with their PCs over the last few years. :) Dont believe everything you read people. However, this stereotype may be sour grapes on the part of other sororities with inferiority complexes. Kappa is slipping after being kicked out of Rollins. Just behind Theta in that respect. Less necessary for connections. The rest of the 'general' descriptions are amazingly accurate. While some have strong national cultures across all chapters, there are bound to be differences from one university or college to another. This is the most ignorant post I've ever read. Sorry, I was pretty brutal with Gamma Phi Beta. No one wants to say it because they have a strong tradition and are nice girls and don't really appear to be struggling for numbers or anything. Two DZs are on our schools Junior Panhellenic Council. They have it all. Kappa is rich and cute. Chi O and Zeta both run with PKT and Fiji a bit. Shame on you. Some are really nice and some are not at all. (They can definitely handle their liquor.) In fact, today, someone I know is driving out of town to visit a sorority sister from twenty three years ago. Get APhi and AXO leftovers. Still has a ways to go to get back on Thetas and Pi Phis level that it was on ten years ago. Every sorority has different traits from chapter to chapter. They may like to act that way for reputation sake, but I know at least 10 who are on loans, student aid, etc. We have the highest chapter GPA on our campus and we're beyond passionate about our philanthropy. Woody H. (not Hayes) on December 14, 2013: Very, very interesting stuff!!! Learn their philanthropy, their academic achievements, their sisterhood. Chi o- "bible beaters"- love The Lord, academics is important, Pi Phis (top)- love their Lilly and pearls with a dash of vodka, while Kappas (top) just love their vodka (and are usually the more 'brunette' house with rich girls), alpha phi - idgaf girls, very popular among the frats, easy DZ..nuff said, tri-delts (tri hards) usually pretty top - your camp counselor kinda gals, zetas (top) the on campus barbies, theta---jocks - so on with that. They are often forgotten. My younger sister pledged Pi Phi at Kansas, and again, mostly blonde, debutantes, and extremely selective. Focuses a lot more on GPA than the houses above (you still have to be beautiful to get in). Interesting how it all works. Carolee Samuda from Jamaica on June 23, 2011: Wow, all I knew about sororities before was from movies. Chi O is a good chapter. One consistent observation is that KDs are obsessed with popularity. For instance, nationally ChiO is "Make-A-Wish" and DG is "Service for Sight." You said nice things about every chapter just to forget dg so you could say something rude. I never knew anything about this stuff, and your take on their reputations was a lot more interesting than reading a wikipedia of their history. Id rank DDD below XO and ZTA. Sorority and Fraternity Life created the Good Standing and Achieved Excellence Program to clearly communicate and record administrative, operational, and participation expectations for all chapters. I go to UF, and the sorority girls are ridiculous. Theyve got great mixers. So my assumption is that you are going into rush without knowing (m)any girls in the chapters. -Drop- Agreed on everything except AXO. This year, we invited a few juniors to join our house! Those were the "big four" at my school.
,Greek life at UT has been wonderful for my daughter, but she had to go in with an open mind and keep it. 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 Most freshmen at all three of their pref nights went PKT. 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 of our chapters are unique, so women have been able to find chapters suited to their needs. Most girls are pretty and nice, probably one of the more classier sororities. Pi Beta Phi? Dumb. Like my mom always said, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. "They will always be bottom" is what everyone said about APhi 15-18 years ago when they were literally stuck in a hole that was lower than AXiD! UConn, and Ohio State. Sorry. From the little I do know some sororities do charities and that is good in my book. Very beautiful girls and their house is the best IMO. Kappa Delta is not like Kappa Alpha Theta, which was omitted, and also considered top tier. Many have noted that while Chi Os are sweet and classy, they are not necessarily known as the most physically attractive women (but not the ugliest, either; many have said they are plain Janes). 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. Some consider them the quintessential sorority, in both a good and a bad way. The University Panhellenic Council serves as a forum for discussing issues facing collegiate women and the entire Sorority and Fraternity community, and promotes excellence among its membership. Alpha Gamma Delta. At the bottom tier is kappa kappa gamma, delta zeta, AZD, and kappa delta. Pi Phi/ Theta AEPhi: Fun party girls. They pick each other out before recruitment even begins. 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. Because honestly, sororities aren't like what you see in the movies. A "top" tier sorority can basically pick just who they want among pledges, while a "low" tier sorority takes the leftovers. I'm so glad that i read all the comments before leaving this page. COUNSELING AND MENTAL HEALTH CENTER 512-471-3515 cmhc.utexas.edu UNIVERSITY HEALTH SERVICES 512-471-4995 healthyhorns.utexas.edu LONGHORN WELLNESS CENTER 512-475-8252 healthyhorns.utexas.edu . Chi-Os are known for academics and being the good girls. What's it all mean? Charters suspended at CSU, Depauw and being kicked off the University of Connecticut and a bus load urinating in public park at Washington state. Beautiful, classy, intelligent girls are in APHI! Rest looks spot on. Still a top tier house thats almost impossible to get into. It was one of the first sororities founded. These [] Answer (1 of 9): This is an awfully big question, let me try to just point out a few things others have missed. Most girls need connections to get in. Tri Delt /Alpha Phi I strongly disagree with 20 of your descriptions. I don't think they've ever missed quota, but every year since my niece started HS 3 years ago, I look at the PC photos and get more concerned. Zeta only cares about looks. They tend to be the prettier and wealthier girls. Girls usually aren't big on greek life. Whatever you read here should probably be ignored. At my school the top three sororities are Delta Zeta, Tri Sigma, and Alpha Sigma Alpha. Girls are also pretty here and usually have strong connections as well. Almost impossible to get into unless you know a ton of girls in the chapter, are beautiful, and from an affluent neighborhood. Thank you! -Drop- They are leaders. 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! Stop dropping girls only because you think they might go PKT. At my school, Chi O and KD are considered the "best" sororities and what you said about the Chi O's is illustrated exactly at my school. Each campus is different. Greek Chat is a pretty good source of information. DG: some cool girls and some weird girls. I find this to be interestingly accurate for major generalizations about sororities. Generally rich, classy, snobby, and brunettes Who are equestrians. Pi Beta Phi at Arkansas is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of what is posted on here. Will always be a bottom tier. Kappa: Like Pi Phi and Theta, usually wealthy girls. Generally everywhere I see pictures of Pi Phi's (top tier) and Tri Delts as having the most consistently beautiful members of the sororities. DG has been steadily dropping. Foh with this backwards, regressive, and insulting nonsense suggesting being pretty and good looking is the main thing that defines a sororitys worth, this isnt 1950 and youre no longer in high school. Thats so nice!!!!! 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. (Hang w/ some AXO, some KD/DG + Delt, some Sigma Chi, some Kappa Sig) Some women are born knowing gold from gold-fill. I feel like the elephant in the room is ADPi. I would say those two are above Tri Delta. There are some sororities that are almost impossible to get in if you don't have a specific resume, as they have their list prepared ahead of recruitment. Lower Top Tier: Tri Delt 25? If not, they need to. Would put dg on the same level as kd. 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. You also hear Kappa Kappa Gammas described as popular and sometimes (but not always) smart and classy. Dont know much about KD or ADPI. Even if you don't think sororities are for you, I would suggest just giving it a shot. Better than Theta for sure. Again all the "rude" terms that I just associated with each house to not describe the individuals of a house, but terms like these come about when certain houses act together in poor ways. Because of this genetic characteristic, a Pi Phi is usually at home wearing gold . I think Delta Delta Delta is right on. However something happened and over the past few years they did a 180. All Sorority and Fraternity Organizations at UT Austin Each chapter differs from each campus, and obviously you didnt take that into consideration. :). Sorority and Fraternity Life Office of the Dean of Students Student Services Building 4.400 100 West Dean Keeton Street Austin, TX 78712 Phone: 512-471-9700 Email: sfl@austin.utexas.edu Office Hours: Office location open 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. axid will always be bottom, nuf said. (Hang w/ Chi O and Zeta + KA, Sig Ep, Kappa Sig, Delt, Sigma Chi) Seriously. But leave it to a narrow minded individual like yourself to generalize thousands of women based on most likely your own observation of one school. Wouldnt be surprised if they continue to improve over the next few years. We foster a culturally conscious, safe, and responsible community, contributing to positive siblinghood. ), the general scheme seems to have been to put the big unde. Fraternity members consider DZ girls a lot of fun. Sorry, ladies. Despite their relatively low profile, Alpha Chi Omegas are considered down-to-earth and genuine. and Kappa Kappa Gamma. Yeah, KKG takes the cake. What they tend to lackin philanthropy doesnt seem to concern them too much. Thanks! IMO they will surpass DDD in the next few years. Kappa is mid- tier and Theta is very good. Many cheerleaders and pom girls go Zeta. We strive for a values-based sorority and fraternity experience. Delta Gamma (DGs) is considered a mid-tier sorority almost everywhere across the country. I'm worried about my chapter.
,With that out of the way, SoccerGirlNYC had some pretty sage advise. 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). Any answers you can provide will be helpful, biased or not.
,Finally, which would you like to be a sister in (if you were into that type of thing)? It all depends on the school you go to. They're not as concerned with academics or philanthropy than they are about socializing/partying and sisterhood. If you decide that you are not ready before initiation, you can break your pledge from the organization. They dont take discuss the positive (writers few) compliments about popularity and attractiveness. DDD are you listening? Every house at UT has something to offer. Didn't find your school?Request for your school to be featured on GreekRank. 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. Definitely ChiO and KKG are the top tier at most schools. They are not considered nicebut not outright nasty either. Nice girls though. 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. Possibly because of this, other Greek organizations have highly polarized opinions about Zetas. Sadly, that is fairly indicative of this chapter. I find that college is s great place to create lasting friendships, with or without a sorority. It doesn't work all the time, but it works enough of the time that sororities have maintained their popularity among undergrads for more than 120 years. Good luck!
, Powered by Discourse, best viewed with JavaScript enabled. Zetas PC18 is not even in the same league as Chi-O and DDD. Having stellar grade matter. AOIIs can have the reputation of being "srat" girls - sorority girls who hangout with a particular fraternity on campus. 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. 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. You will find some houses that balance GPA, socials and charity work and some that dont do that so well. AXO gives COBs and spring bigs. Please note that staff are currently on a flexible work arrangement schedule. That one looks good to me. Jason Menayan (author) from San Francisco on July 05, 2016: The title says it all: these are stereotypes. Lot of truth inthe reputations, except there are a lot of really genuine, nice, friendly Pi Phis who are my friends. Most of the girls who were debutantes with me were Pi Phis. Please note that staff are currently on a flexible work arrangement schedule. As a generalization of the whole country, this is pretty accurate! Article seems slanted. Nevertheless, recruiting in this fashion does attract beautiful girls. Delta Zeta is probably the hardest to get in on our campus. PAN LOVE PEOPLE!! Most girls have a connection to get in here and usually have been told they will be a Pi Phi before rush week begins. 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. Signedproud member of DDD. Pi Beta Phi girls ("Pi Phis) are considered by most to be top-tier but also have a reputation as fake and superficial. AXO: party girls who could be big 6 but got cut due to lack of connections, unluckiness, or bad reputation. Half of KKG's pledge class drops out before graduating. The rest of us made great friends with other girls in our dorms or in our major. Chi O: About 50/50 party girls and non-party girls. Sisterhood is not a competition!! Classy and involved are not words typically used to describe Alpha Phi girls, but fun and popular are. As for Chi O, yeah they were founded here, but they are the rudest girls. Just like Lambda Chis for guys. Girls who pledge with Delta Gamma are usually very happy when accepted into the fold. Have to agree with Lindsey right above me. I know for a fact a lot of Zeta's pledge class from last year hangs with the top frats, including FIJI and RHO and all the other Big Six sororities. THERE IS NOT A BAD HOUSE AT UTplease dont drink the kool aide They all have mixers with fraternities, date parties, formals, etc. IMO they will stay around this ranking for awhile. I hope that whoever wrote this or may read this can see beyond stereotypes. An individual's personal experiences might corroborate one or more of these, or they might stand in direct contradiction of them. 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. Go to whatever campus you, your daughter, etc. This is why sorority stereotypes exist. Those girls were dropped much earlier in the week. Terrible physical house. Neither one is the "sorority type". Just be aware that some of the posters on there are a little cranky and need to get a life,My biggest piece of advice is to go into recruitment at UT with an OPEN MINDI cannot stress this enoughplease try not to listen to other girls and thier opinions of the houses, especially if they are negative. I see changes over time in AXiD and think they're not going to stay down for much longer. (Hang w Tri delt, some Chi O + Sig Ep, KA, Sigma Chi) Theyre friendly and make everyone feel welcome, and they were really good at that during rush. I agree that you have to look at each campus to determine the "worth" of a sorority. They are at orientation and are attending the Frat parties and they are watching you. 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. Bottom Tier: KD, ADPi Sorority and Fraternity Life welcomes new members, develops leaders, and advises council communities. They know how to party, and they'll dress in the sluttiest attire ever when doing so. PKT, Chi O, Zeta, and DG were very accurate. Majority of the school hates them. This is stupid. Depending on the campus the girls can change but one thing holds true. With national chapters having hundreds of thousands of members you can't possibly categorize all of them into a few nasty words. Being in a sorority is something I can't explain in words. Nice enough girls, but just kinda there. I dont know much about the rest. 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! There is usually a six to eight week period for new pledges to assess whether the sorority is the right fit. Having strong communication skills matter.
