alabama repost

ok i thought it was nice don't make it a negative pls calm down

1) The point of saying "tiers" is because that's what everyone says and usually "bottom" is supposed to be the worst but really the worst (bottom) for you should be where you don't fit.
2) bama's system is very different. Lots based on tradition/money/influence

And Looks, Phi MU is top there and they're considered to have the best looks, but keep on drinking that kool-aid

Ya it is nice, and it'd be nice if the system worked that way ( i wish it did) but it doesn't

Looks is a factor as well but not the only one. They are one of the top there for many different reasons

I hate how there's a positive post and then someone has to make a comment like this and make it negative. Go back to your little place of hatred and let the rest of us pan love it out ok

You constantly talk about this pan love and all there is are sororities bashing other sororities... You know what my guess is? You're prolly in a top sorority so you don't deal have to deal with being called lower or whatever. Its easy for you, what do you have to lose nothing bc you're already top, so to you, you just want your pan love and let things remain status quo and in the end its cool with you bc youre top

Actually I am in a middle tier sorority. Why do you have to be so assuming and so cynical? What is wrong with wanting pan love instead of hate? And if you like your sorority why do you care or even take note if people call it "lower" (I'm assuming that's what yours is because of your comment, correct me if I'm wrong)? Someone has got to be "top" and someone has got to be "bottom", even if things "change" as you say, someone will still be "bottom", but that doesn't mean any is better and one is worse, especially if you enjoy where you're at, which is the OPs point. So yeah I can want pan love.

The OP is saying that PNMs shouldn't care about that though, and instead top tier to them should be where they feel most comfortable. So one persons top tier could be Deeph while another's is Phi Mu, who knows. All in where you feel comfortable.

I understand and that's what it should be based off of, but the system does not view it that way and sororities do not view it that way. PNMS do, but sororities look at rush as a way to get the best looking girls they can get so they can be better than their competitors. For the most part, I think there are some houses that truly don't care about status and come from a genuine place
... just my two cents

I am in a middle sorority but you don't have to believe me, people do lie frequently here. Think what you want. What I'm trying to say is that people will always think there is a top and a bottom. Even if the order changes, it will always be there. But no matter what house you are in, no matter if people see it as bottom, you shouldn't let it bother you. If you love your house that is all that matters. If it is the top house in your heart that's what counts. None of us should be tearing down any house, it doesn't have to be a war

HAVE YOU SEEN ANY THREAD ON THIS SITE. IT'S LITERALLY ONLY ABOUT RANKS AND TEARING DOWN HOUSES.. youre viewpoint is admirable just not applicable.

You're right, but by saying pan love and leaving everything the same, that changes nothing. YOu can say all you want go where you feel at home and thats the truth but it doesnt change the fact that the system as a whole is based on social status and at the end of the day competition. As long as some houses perceive themselves to be higher or more better than other house .... yea I'm going to have a problem

that you're going to go where you feel the best based off how each sorority makes you feel. The tier system creates competition, therefore, sororities want to be better than the others. SO say you're a PNM and feel more at home at SK than ZTA to go along with your example. Well maybe ZTA did not want you to feel at home bc they didn't want you. But SK treated you well and you liked them. That's how it works... all im saying

good point but does not apply to greek system as a whole

You know who cares alot? every sorority. All I'm saying is wouldn't it suck to be perceived as less or categorized as lower simply based off which house your in? In real life, people here said it best.. none of this stuff ever comes up, but the underlying superficiality is what drives it. Headbangers for example, ZTA, KD, ADPI basically the three best sororities according to y'all - there's a reason they choose to do it with each other and not other sororities. STATUS. I'm not saying any of this should affect an individual and their self worth, but in a system where you are ranked as less bc you're not in the popular sorority is not cool

you cannot change the system. There are tiers at every school with greek life and there always will be. The best you can do is promote pan love and acceptance. There will still be tiers. I think this poster is saying that because there will always be tiers and there will always be people who see lower tiers as worse, you have to be happy with where you're at and that is what's important. It's like the whole "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference" thing. You can't change the fact that there are tiers and some girls like to be snobby about it. You can change how you personally feel and advocate for pan love.

One girl said she had to beg her sisters to go to an SAE party right? well instead of begging her sisters to go in order to keep their relations and status- she could have let her sisters do what they want and not care just sayin
