ranks
by: HmmmJust to point a small yet appropriate comment about Gphi all of a sudden being ranked 1st. Coming from Oklahoma and tons of the girls I know being involved in Greek life, most of my friends who went Gphi had theta, kappa, or pi phi as their 1st choice and did not get a bid from their first, and although they are happy at Gphi they would of preferred to be at their number one. But continue on..
Comment#3 by: Not true
I did not go GPhi and am really happy at my house (I posted a few days ago about my recruitment experience), but you can't deny GPhi had everyone talking about them this year. They did seem to be the most sought-after house during recruitment. If your theory was correct, why did Kappa's have to take snap bids? Of my friends who went Kappa and Pi Phi, none still were invited back to GPhi (idk about Theta, no good friends went to that house so I cannot comment intelligently on it).

Ask your recruitment adviser about the return rates. Those are the rates that compare what percentage of girls a house invites to a party accept. Chi O has always been first until this year and G Phi was first with Chi O second. I think that's probably why G Phi was getting so much buzz.

I've never thought chiO was the top house. I always thought of them as bible thumping, crunchy, wet blankets. Them making you read their creed during rush while they stare at you was awkward. I always thought of them on a level of their own and not in a good way.

doesn't matter what you thought - it just matters about the percentages of girls that want to go back

I don't get the big deal about Chios either. They are a kind of weird and not in a good way.

There is no denying Gamma Phi is a top house. Sounds like some members of other groups might be feeling insecure about that.

Can't take any criticism chiO? This is not only my opinion either. I'm sorry not everyone thinks you are perfect. I'm just telling it like it is. Maybe that type of house is appealing to some people but there are many, including me, who cut chi o. I didn't come to osu to live with a bunch of grannies

I'm not a Chi O, but just so you know, it is all about percentages. There are probably people who dropped every single house at one time or another. Not every house is right for everyone.
BUT return rates look at percentages. If a higher percentage accept a party invitation to one house than another, that house is more popular - more people like it.
If 99% of pnms want to be invited back to Chi O and only 10% want to be invited back to AZD, you can say Chi O has higher return rates and is more popular. It doesn't matter that YOU didn't like them and they didn't appeal to you.
Also, you're overlooking the fact that Chi O probably didn't invite you back either. They probably knew it wouldn't be a good fit.

Why do you call Chi Os grannies? Just because they study and are involved at OSU? Most of us call that successful.

Grades are important to me. Very much so, but honestly, and nothing personal against Chi O, but their vibe during 1st round was almost zealot. The two girls I spoke with her very nice and I connected with the second one better, but I didn't cluster them, I ranked them 1 though. I Could not see myself there at all. I really liked Gphi after first round but they cut me for 2nd round but I still had my top 2-5 houses on my schedule. I still went to the maximum parties every round and and ended up in the 2 house. I am overwhelmed with how much stuff we do and stressed out beyond belief with sorority stuff and class work. I cannot imagine how stressful it would be if I were in an "active" house.

If you were cut by gphi you were probably cut by chio too. They could probably see that you weren't agile enough to study and be so active. Active houses aren't for everyone. That's one reason gphi has gotten to be a top house. They're both great houses but it just depends on how busy you want to be.

Let's be real here ladies. All the top houses have beautiful accomplished women. therefore all the top houses have top girls just with different vibes and strengths. The idea that chiO somehow is superior is ridiculous. You may think you are better than everyone else but you are not. And thinking that everyone wants to be a chiO is even more hysterical. It takes a certain kind of girl to drink that kool aid. Granted, you may think the girls you got are the best. I'm sure they are, for YOU. All the other top houses got the girls that are the best for THEM! That is how rush works. So please get over yourself.

No one cares if you love Chi O or hate them. NO ONE!
The reason they are a top house is because MOST girls love them and want to go back. You can't disagree, because the return rates prove their popularity.
So GET OVER IT. Chi O (and GPB) are the houses that the pnms preferred to go to the most. So stop talking about Chi O if you didn't like it. You were in a minority and you're not going to change it on here.

ha ha I doubt that she cares if people like Chi O if she's like me, she only cares if they're on greekrank constantly running down one house or another. If you don't like some house say it once then get off.

I agree. I have met girls in all the houses and I can honestly say, I like them. I haven't really met anyone that I can't stand. I may not want to be bffl's with all of them, but I just hate how much people hate on other houses on here.

I love it that people are beginning to realize that not every girl is willing to put the effort into a house like Chi O. A lot of girls have other interests than just the sorority. I think that's why G Phi has taken over the top spot. They are more laid back and easy going. I think Kappa is like that too from what I've seen. I think Pi Phi and Theta are a little more structured and so they're a little less popular with pnms. But all the houses are good now. It's not just Chi O and the 11 dwarfs.

I, as someone over the age of 18, consider myself a "grown up". I welcome and appreciate time earned wisdom.

personally I question someone my grandma's age being on here wanting to reminisce about how amazing their house ranked back in the day. Most alums say that rank isn't important, it's all about sisterhood. She just sounds like she's a social climber.

A PiPhi was the OP. A kappa or Theta could make an argument that they ranked them higher than GPB but no way could a PiPhi make that argument. PiPhis are still trying to group themselves with top tier and everyone knows they are bottom of middle tier now.
