Comment:  When I came to Cal a couple years ago Pi Phi and Kappa were seen as tied with Kappa being seen as “classier” and Pi Phi being seen as more rude/pretentious. In all honesty I never knew why this was, but after being in Greek life for a couple years I can pretty much confirm this. Some of the rudest most entitled girls I’ve ever met are in this house. I don’t know if they just attract girls like this or if Pi Phis are taught to be this pretentious, but it’s so ridiculous. A few cases in point: a girl in my PNM group freshman year and I went out to lunch after bid night/day, and I remember her pulling up greek rank and going on and on about how she got a “top” house (for reference, I am in a mid tier house). I work with a few pi phis and they are all incredibly offputting and don’t even bother to talk to you unless they need something. I’ve had my fair share of classes with pi phis too and while I’m sure some are intelligent, I’ve always been taken aback by how dumb/clueless some of these girls are. They’ll say incredibly tone deaf things and then pass it off as being “quirky” or having “no filter.” This doesn’t make you real, it just makes you rude. Being “fun” doesn’t mean you can be reckless, disregard everyone who isn’t in a top house and treat people like crap. At first I thought it was just a few bad apples but time and time again pi phi has proven me wrong. In terms of looks I’m not sure if Kappa did better this year, but I do know pi phi will forever be trailing them unless they shape up and actually start treating people with respect.
