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!

Longest means fewer spots to fill which makes it harder to get a spot. Fewer spots because they have more years of alumni and connections.

Top houses do not need to announce they are a top house. New houses have it harder for sure but that doesn’t make them bottom!

It’s not rocket science the more years a sorority has been at UofA the more selective they can be. Sometimes this backfires because they have to take certain girls their alum tell them to take.

Top means old but that doesn’t mean aphi will 100 percent be at the bottom. They can get a great pledge class this year and automatically be mid category
