This is pretty accurate, but I go to a southern school where Chi O and Kappa are at the very top. Chi-Os and Kappa Alpha Thetas are top tier sororities at our school. However, this stereotype may be sour grapes on the part of other sororities with inferiority complexes. Definitely ChiO and KKG are the top tier at most schools. Zetas PC18 is not even in the same league as Chi-O and DDD. They are incredibly happy there and I was shocked frankly that they rushed to begin with. Everyone knows at least one KD they really like and one KD they really hate. They and their friends are NOTHING like the disbarging comments. Circle around KD and ADPi. Just like Lambda Chis for guys. Pi Phi: Their PC18 had some snap bids and it seemed like this year girls prefered Zeta and Chi O above Pi Phi. Zeta: Less classy than Chi O and Tri Delt, usually girls who prioritize their reputation and their instagram pictures over everything else. Sorority recruitment at UT is EXTREMELY competitive. AZD may be pretty but is not classy. 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. Alpha Phi.

Jason Menayan (author) from San Francisco on June 27, 2011: I can completely understand. But just looking at their PC compared to KD and even AXD was a shock. My experience was that the Kappas, Thetas and Pi Phis were tops. Some would consider Kappa top house at UT. Based on the totally appraisal of KKG, It reeks of favoritism and lack of awareness. 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 can not believe that this is something that exists. For some it's all about family and money. what kind of people you want to have as mentors and long-life friends, partly by reputation, but mostly by YOUR OWN GUT FEELINGS! Or, maybe they will just end up in DDD because they were cut from PKT but who cares! Most houses will already have an idea of girls they like before rush even starts.

As for Chi O, yeah they were founded here, but they are the rudest girls. They don't tend to be as social as other sororities and can sometimes seem invisible compared to more visible sororities. PC18 preferred all the sororities above. Everyone is different. 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). Kappa har frre festpiger og flere YL-piger end Pi Phi og Theta. I hope that whoever wrote this or may read this can see beyond stereotypes. I'll let someone else tell you about them. 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.

Because honestly, sororities aren't like what you see in the movies. Chi O (They can definitely handle their liquor.) What I have learned is that we all have our pre-conceived notions about what sororities are and most of it is crap. I am happy to say I still have close friends from college 20 years later, sans a sorority. This may be because the sorority has recently fought its way to the top tier and has a reputation to maintain. aphi might as well be on the same level as tridelt at this point because tri delt did ridiculously bad this year. Their PC18 is incredible. 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. They actually drop out of recruitment than pledge a bottom tier sorority, like kappa Kappa Gamma or DZ. 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. Some sororities have close ties to fraternities on the same campus and get together informally and for major events. And if you are a girl reading this whos interested in joining greek life, dont listen to this shit. Tri-Delt: This years pledge class put DDD from Top Tier to Lower Top Tier. But be very careful not to fall in love with anyone specifically. IMO they will surpass DDD in the next few years. Sorry, ladies. Just saying what is the truth now. Girls going through rush (and those rushing them) will decide where they fit in the best; the recruitment process is designed to try to ensure that good matches are made, and each PNM ultimately joins the house in which she will feel most comfortable. This is why sorority stereotypes exist. Chi O: About 50/50 party girls and non-party girls. Those young ladies are awesome. About the Kappas all being rich, I would disagree. Kappa is rich and cute. Delta Zeta (DZ) girls are generally considered approachable and easy to talk to. 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.

(Hang w/ Theta and Kappa + Fiji and some SAE) This article was definitely slanted toward Southern and Eastern campuses since the "hottest " sororities in the west (with two exceptions) were not on the list. Whatever you read here should probably be ignored. 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. 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. They have a reputation for behaving like daddy's little princess, but their top-tier reputation is intact across the country. Seriouslyagainclueless. Article seems slanted.

Top Tier: Zeta, Chi-O Neither one is the "sorority type". 1870s? I can see why a Zeta would think they are the best though. Many other sororities say they are hot in a fake way, with heavy use of makeup and a bit of a princess complex. Would put dg on the same level as kd. Upper Bottom Tier: AXiD Id rank DDD below XO and ZTA. Dont know much about them but from what I hear theyve been on the rise for the past few years.
