I attend one of the top universities in the country, and arguably the most competitive sorority school in the country. For some it's all about family and money. 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. Based on the totally appraisal of KKG, It reeks of favoritism and lack of awareness. Most down to earth girls I've ever met. You know those girls that were left over or that nobody else would take? Kappa Alpha Theta. I was exposed to a bunch of them my sophomore year in college, and learned a bit through "osmosis" although I can completely understand not wanting to pledge! I'm a Zeta Tau Alpha and I don't wear heavy make up nor do I have a "princess complex." Wrong on so many levels. If not, they need to. This is stupid. This may be because the sorority has recently fought its way to the top tier and has a reputation to maintain. However Zeta still got a better pledge class and Chi-O isnt on the same level as PKT. Zeta Tau Alpha tends to be far more popular in the South than elsewhere in the country. Hard to rank AEPhi. 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.

Whatever you read here should probably be ignored. I personally like Kappa better than Pi Phi or Theta but can see why others would prefer one of other two. What I have learned is that we all have our pre-conceived notions about what sororities are and most of it is crap. That was just a matter of numbers because chapters can only take so many girls. The tier has everything to do with how picky it can be about members. This years PC is cute and fun from what Ive seen so far. OK, honestly, they were all beautiful blondes, great bodies, looked alike, and were a tad snobby, but not mean or fake. 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. Theta smart and cute. That one looks good to me. 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. I don't even think they are trying to improve because they don't think there's anything wrong. Agreed on everything except AXO. 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.

A "top" tier sorority can basically pick just who they want among pledges, while a "low" tier sorority takes the leftovers. Theta has more pretty girls and definitely a lot of party girls.

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. Each campus is different. Zetas PC18 is not even in the same league as Chi-O and DDD. Request for your school to be featured on GreekRank. So I'm a DZ and actually most of us are pretty attractive (believe it or not).
