Lower middle tier. They have some cute girls and their new house is definitely a step up from where they were. But where are they? Now that their pledge class from last year graduated, you barely see any of them at parties. There's some involvement around campus, but the Pi Phis don't really stick out much in their organizations or in classes. I don't hear about any drama within Pi Phi, which is actually really refreshing for a sorority on this campus. I don't think they're top tier in the traditional sense, but they don't have to be. The Pi Phis I've met are usually pretty nice (but quieter and not initiators) and seem to be getting on just fine with each other. They're getting something out of their sorority experience, even if they don't have a stereotype or solid campus reputation. That's probably because they don't dedicate a ton of time to trying to be something they're not, and also because they have a balance of girls with different personalities and interests. There's not a lot of external cohesion, but their sisterhood is pretty strong it seems. Keep doing you, Pi Phi.

Still top tier, but losing their niche. They used to get a lot of the pretty and sweeter girls, while A Phi would get the hotter party girls. Even though they weren't as social as A Phi, they had a much better sisterhood, which really appealed to a lot of girls. It seems like they still worked their pink Phi Mu magic this year at recruitment and got a cute pledge class, but their sisterhood definitely comes across as a little fake after their mega-drop in numbers last semester. They need to focus on reorienting their sisterhood and being there for each other. A lot of their older members shame the younger member classes for being less involved and a little bit sloppier, but for better or for worse you guys are all sisters. Be there for each other and stop indulging your catty members (and stop putting them in leadership positions). Then you'll get your niche back.

A Phi is still top tier, there's no doubt about that. They still vie with Phi Mu for most of the hot/super social girls that go through recruitment. They actually do have a fair bit of campus involvement from individual members, but that doesn't really seem to be where the sorority's priorities are at. They can be really shallow and snooty, and at least one girl per pledge class gets frozen out by all the other girls because they don't like her. Basically every year their youngest pledge class rampages across campus parties and gets too sloppy. But they actually are willing to have fun on this campus, which is unusual, and they have more hot girls than most other chapters. Their partying and looks will hold them together, but it just doesn't seem like there's much substance beyond that. If they work on integrating their cliques better and get more invested in involvement on campus, they might see their sisterhood improve.

DG was on its way to becoming a top tier sorority a couple years ago. They were genuinely chill and it made them super popular with frats. But it seems like they got too chill, and started recruiting weirder pledge classes because they weren't really trying. Now they've got a lot of weirdos and you only really hear about DGs doing sports, and that's not as common with the younger classes. They still do really well at Greek Week and Anchor Splash is by far the best philanthropy, but they kind of disappear for the rest of the year. I've heard that their sisterhood is patchy and some of their younger girls create a really toxic environment. Some of their members are downright unhinged. Now that Phi Delt can't host parties, they just dropped them and stopped doing much of anything with them. Their new pledge class has some hot and cool girls in it, but also some weird ones. If they work on their sisterhood and encourage their members to try harder, they can get back to where they were. It's a shame too, because the class of DGs that graduated last year were probably the coolest girls on campus.

Poor Tri Sigma. They seem like a sweet bunch of girls, but too many of them are awkward and shy. They didn't do too great at recruitment this year, but still got a nice group in the end. They seem like they genuinely really like each other, which is the most important thing. They tend to clump together at social events and just generally go under the radar. If they better showcase their involvement and work with the new pledge class at being social, especially at mixers, they'll be able to better establish themselves. For now, they're still kind of all over the place, which is normal for a new chapter.

Theta's gotten more chill again, which is kind of refreshing. Their exec is still way too strict for them to party the way that I heard they used to, which sucks. They're super classy and involved, but they still come across as snotty, especially to frats. If they make the effort to associate with more than three frats and actually invite people to the parties I know they have, they might be able to have the best of both worlds. Until then they'll just be eclipsed by their overachiever stereotype.

As a friend of many phi mus they have really grown this year..While they have had a few members who have left within the last year as stated by others, what they fail to mention is that these members were either toxic or left for personal reasons. I cannot speak for all but they seem to have a great bond and the new class from last year has really changed them for the better. no one is perfect but they acknowledge those aspects because they are real humans (not to mention insanely intelligent) and not fake :)
