Comment:  Although new on campus, Pi Phi has a stellar National reputation which has helped them here. It’s almost impossible for any group to recolonize and escape bottom tier status in an established hierarchy, but they have. Some sororities are incredibly strong in the South, but not ‘top tier’ Nationally. Phi Mu, Zeta, ADPi, AGD, KD, and AOPi are examples of having more sketchy and closed chapters elsewhere. Theta is generally pretty bad in the South, with some exceptions, but is a powerhouse Nationally. In SEC, Pi Phi is generally mid-tier, with top tier standings at some schools. Kappa is all over the board in the South. Bottom tier to top tier. Truth, KKG are notorious self-rankers, and down-voters, (pledge work, I dropped/transferred) so dim people fall for this hype. Pi Phi, their ‘sister sorority’ from Monmouth is generally their target, followed by Theta or other campus competitors. For an overall interaction rating, Pi Phi here has a lot of members who are attractive inside and out, especially for a newbie group. I put them top tier b/c they are authentic, bright, popular, fun, and involved. They are nice here. Earned, or jealously unearned, I’ve not seen their usual stereotype of beautiful, rich, mean girls. It seems that much of the sorority tiers rankings are based on fraternity opinions of ‘hotness’.
