For me a big part of being in a sorority is being able to live in house. AOPi got a beautiful house in their first few years on campus but Alpha Xi isn't even in the process of looking for or planning for a house in the future. They also don't have a local philanthropy in Stillwater and I was looking for a house that was involved in the local community. Additionally,I know personally I felt very uncomfortable their during recruitment. Most of the girls had cut the house but had it put on their schedule so they had to go back. I think they have a lot of work to make them a house that girls will want to go to. I don't have anything against the Xi's but I don't know why you would go there especially when there are so many better established houses on campus.

I think a big issue is their attitude towards the rest of the panhellenic community too. Some of them seem to think they're better than all of us. They have some good girls but a lot of them just cause a lot of bad PR. Bless their hearts.

The newest sorority on campus is almost always the least desirable.

Sad but true.

In response to the first comment, two things,

1) There is planning for a house
2) PNMs don't "cut" any chapter. That's not how RFM works. PNMs state the chapters they would prefer not to go back to. Only houses make cuts. If they write down A, B, C and "decline" D, but house C cuts them, then house D automatically reappears on their schedule (unless house D also cut them). The computer does this in order to help PNMs maximize their options and find a home. That's no fault of the chapter.

Lol y'all take everything too seriously. I joined Alpha Xi two years ago as a founding member and can honestly say it was the most rewarding experience I could have asked for. For me, I didn't feel like I really clicked anywhere else during recruitment. I will leave OSU with the best memories with my sisters, and that's all that matters.
