Comment:  I was in this house and regret not dropping out my senior year. So many girls drop this house. Girls join it as a last resort but cannot fathom sticking it out past bid day/ new member process because the experience in this house isn’t worth it. This sorority mixed one year with Beta Theta Pi like six years ago and that was probably their only mixer with an IFC frat in its chapter history. Most girls go through the recruitment process as pnms hoping to join sororities to make friends. to live in house and to mix with IFC frats. At least I did and none of that happened for me. None of the frats mix with this house not only because of it’s reputation of being a bottom house but also because there aren’t a ton of girls in this house throwing off the girls to guys ratio and also none of them being conventionally attractive. NPC socials are suppose to hold mixers with other IFC frats every year which does not happen in this house. They already had the reputation of most pnms being confused if this was a social interest NPC without any other interest affiliations, if they’re doing mixers with other councils that’s great to get some more mixers under their belt but it will likely further this reputation and cause the chapter to continue to struggle with recruitment. The girls in this house can be *****y, cold, and awkward to interact with. They def put a front up in their recruitment process. Kappa Delta and Sigma Kappa have the excuse of being newer houses on campus having to establish themselves within the last decade and also being a recognizable national sorority name, but Theta Phi is the second oldest sorority chapter on campus, doesn’t have that national chapter name, and struggle with numbers they will always be infinitely doing COB as their main source of recruitment, they get more members through the informal process than the formal process which isn’t standard, and isn’t healthy for a chapter’s numbers and sustainability. Not sure how they’ve still managed to maintain their presence on campus. They will eventually be kicked off campus based on their lack of membership. Exec isn’t required to live in house anymore which is one of the few redeemable qualities of this chapter so more opportunity to live in house if you want to, unlike APhi, Pi Phi, Sigma Kappa, and Kappa Deltas. And you can get leadership experience without having to be forced live in house if you don’t want to.
