Understanding the word "TOP"

by:    

Everyone needs to understand the timeline of each sorority's established date at UofA to understand this whole "top" thing, aka hardest to get into. "Top" in reality means, been at UofA longer and as a result has that much more alumni support and has built many more connections. Rush at UofA can be VERY HUMBLING especially for OOS girls, but understand the longer the sorority has been at UofA the more UofA legacies/connections exist to fill their spots. This is why sometimes you'll see some girls that don't fit a sorority's mold, well they are most likely a UofA legacy or STRONGLY connected to that particular sorority and just like that they're in. Then you are left feeling like, what is wrong with me? NOTHING! Nothing at all! You could be amazing but when there are not enough spots there's just not enough spots. Hope this makes sense. Keep an open mind and remember this experience DOES NOT DEFINE YOU!

chi o, pi phi, and kkg are 99% connections, simple as that. It's fine if you already know a lot them, but if you are in that 1% without a connection it is very hard to fit in.
mid houses are much more welcoming.

Bump but it’s just true the more years at UofA the bigger the difference.

Top here means been here the longest. Lower ranked means newer and that is sad!
