Comment:  Gphis are a diverse group of generous, intelligent, beautiful women who will be successful in their lives and keep lifelong friendships from their sorority experience. As a senior, I've had many Gphis in classes and they're the first ones to offer to help others. And, I've seen Gphi sisters interact with one another at events, parties, or just around campus - they literally care for each other in a genuine way and support one another. It's a real sisterhood! I was motivated to write a review because I saw some haters post negatively about GPhi and focus on the tiers and whatever. Watching this for years, I had to clear up a few things. Based on what I know of the so-called tiers - it's all a house of cards (fake bs) - but anyway, if you want to use bs as a guide, GPhi is probably considered solidly middle (I think? maybe? - I mean I did mention that it's bs, right?). My view is that Gphi is actually top tier if you consider the quality of the experience and people. case in point, if you could choose what is usually considered by certain people a "top tier" house and you end up miserable there or on the other hand, you choose a middle or bottom tier house that enriches your life, what would you pick? and what does top tier really mean then? It seems like this tier/ranking system is all meant to create high demand for some sororities so they make sure to get the list of pnms they want, who maybe look the part or have money. I know girls who are in different sororities and the ones who picked what are considered by some as "middle" or "bottom" tier generally seem much happier and able to be themselves - they love their sisters and feel like it's enhanced their lives in lots of positive ways. you really have to question what the tiers mean exactly and what they mean for you personally - is it fitting a stereotype or body image or level of wealth? I guess if that's what you want, go for it. in my view, if you're living day after day with a group of people, you might want to consider the actual quality and character of the people you're around and make sure you'll be happy. Because everyone is different! Just an idea ;) Honestly it's tough to watch all this crap on this site - the tear downs of nice, smart, beautiful people like GPhis and other sororities that are constantly put down so that a few others can make themselves look better and try to convince rushees that they are the most desirable house - makes you wonder why they have to work so hard. Don't be fooled and end up regretting going into recruitment with a closed mind. Meet the actual people - that's the proof. I'd pay more attention to the vibe and authenticity of the sororities that are ranked bottom and middle, and go from there. This isn't to say that some sororities considered top tier aren't filled with some really good people - I think all the sororities have their place and can be great experiences, I just think that these rankings and tiers are confusing and bs. All the sororities are just groups of girls in a house with certain values, particular sisterhood vibes, and their own philanthropy events. They can all be awesome if they're a good fit for you personally - and that's what really matters. Purdue's greek members shouldn't be encouraging rankings because it confuses pnms who should really be thinking about what will be a good match for who they are. Good luck!
