The things used to TRADITIONALLY judge a top girls are grades, test scores, resume, leadership, and hometown/connection to actives and alums. Those can be subjective and absolutely does not mean all the girls in “top houses” are amazing and that the girls in other houses are less than. Top houses tend to have higher percentages of girls that excel in those areas and put a big emphasis on campus leadership, grades, being competitive in events/elections (like senators and SA exec, and to an extent Miss MSU and Hoco). History of the chapter and how long they’ve been on campus is also a huge factor in top houses, and on the flip side the “bottom” groups are always the newest chapters. It means “top” groups have been leading organizations on campus for decades and have a ton of chapter legacies to pick from. Their alums are typically still in state or in the south and are very active and donate a ton. This doesn’t at all mean the traditional non top houses don’t have these things. It’s again about to what extent they do. Top houses tend to have more so their reputation has been long established and it takes something huge to undo decades of reputation. Other chapters work just as hard, get just as many outstanding members, and have just as much sisterhood, just without the long standing name. Honestly it’s a pro and a con because there are TONS of things the other houses are better at than the top houses, like diversity (both in members and hometowns) and taking girls for them not who they know. It’s a double edge sword and for the most part the only people that care about the history of sororities are the alums, their legacies, and certain well connected girls from certain towns. Also, the gap between top and bottom use to be much more obvious, like years and years ago. Non top houses typically had lower GPAs, less involvement, and retention issues. But in the past decade far more girls are rushing and all chapters are more selective and the “bottom” groups are so different than they were 10-15 years ago. The gap is so small between all the houses and the whole sorority system is MUCH stronger than it use to be and that’s something to celebrate! So no, the “bottom” groups are absolutely NOT bad AT ALL and their members are just as wonderful and deserving as every other house.
