historical rankings
by: CuriousI was wondering if anybody had any insight on what the fraternity and sorority "rankings" were like back in the day, like throughout the 50's 60's 70's 80's 90's and early 2000's?
Comment#2by: Not too Old lady
In the early 2000s, rankings were:
Fraternities:
SAE/SigEP/ATO (Spurrier being an ATO was a big deal)
SX/Phi Delt
KA/Theta Chi/Pi Kapp (KA used to be higher but got in trouble I think)
Pike/TEP/Phi Tau
Delt and Beta were on the rise, Beta had been kicked off...did HC with AXO and XO at first
KSig/Phi Sig (KSig went way up after new house)
Sororities:
KD/ZTA (KD fell after mid 2000s, ZTA gained more dominance)
DDD/DG (DG rose big while DDD fell)
ADPi (rose a lot to fill KDs shoes)
AOPi (rose big in 2000, used to be below theta)
Theta
XO/DZ
DPhiE/Pi Phi/AXO (XO fell below Pi Phi and on par w AXO by mid 2000s)
KKG/AEPhi
Phi Mu/SK
In the fifties/sixties/seventies, most Miss UFs and homecoming queens were ADPis or DDDs. In the 80s, more ZTAs started winning stuff, must have been when they rose.

Delta Burke from "Designing Women" was Miss Florida 1974 and a ZTA at UF (she never got initiated, though).

Five seconds of Googling says she was a Pi Phi at Ole Miss.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Burke
Anyhow, I have a sneaking suspicion this thread was started by Pi Kapps trying to make the case they were THE top fraternity back in the day. They were good but not top. They'd do HC with Theta and AOPi in good years and AXO and Pi Phi would brag when they'd score a social with them but that doesn't make them tippy top tier. They could be in the future I guess if SigEp left a void.

about the post indicates that Pi Kapp had anything to do with it in my opinion. They had did have Ben Hill and some congressmen I think. that along with what i heard from old UF Greeks makes it hard to believe they were that low myself.

I saw the plans for the house they are supposedly building when they get their property back, and if its legit, they definitely have an awesome alumni network. I dunno if it's the legit final plan, I guess we'll see in a year or so, but it looked cool.

The character of Suzanne Sugarbaker, not Delta Burke herself, was a Pi Phi at Ole Miss.

When you refer to Delt, are you referring to DTD or Phi Delt. And how were fraternities like pi kapp (no I am not one), kappa sigma, and DU (I know some old alumni who make them sound nothing like they are now)

DU has always been a laughing stock. Pi Kapp was top tier for decades. I can tell you nothing about Kappa Sigma except they were always a decent middle tier chapter.

There seems to have been a little revisionist history since everyone started feeling threatened by Pi Kapp lately.

Actually didn't mean to disagree with you, that's consistent with what I've heard just worded it poorly.

Bc everybody talks about them so much! Clearly that alum didn't think they were very good, or he would included them in his top tier, so if I wanted to hear somebody elaborate on them, and I was a pi kapp trying to make my fraternity look better, I wouldn't be picking him. I'm just intrigued to find out about them and a few other fraternities that I've heard about. So please, if any of those fraternities were good bad, whatever, I really don't care, just tell me what they were like please! Lol

because Pi Kapp was top tier for decades. I have talked to plenty of UF alumni, and they were always in the mix. Whatever their current state is does nothing to change the fact that historically they were very good here. Before the backlash against what may have been their self-promoting, pretty much everyone still knew and admitted they were top tier not long ago.

And if you just legitimately wanted to know about the mid to late 90's then I'm sorry, i just got really tired of every comment being either really positive about pi kapp or one suggesting a conspiracy theory and them being terrible

My comment about pi kapp was criticizing how ridiculous the whole discussion had gotten. But i really am curious about the 90's. If anyone know please post here! Thnks

what I know the top and middle tiers were pretty much the same as they are now except Sig Ep, ZBT, and Beta were not as relevant back then (they were new or middle/lower tier) . KA was better too. Pi Kapp and Pike were top or upper middle because they hadn't been suspended.

60's - Top sororities were DDD, DG, and ADPi, and Chi O was a solid fourth. All very good houses because the Greek system at UF has always been so strong.
70's - No change, but KD and ZTA both had good years.
80's - ZTA continues to get strong, and replaces Chi O, then becomes a top 3 with DG on top followed by DDD.
90's - KAT has some good pledge classes and becomes solid. Top 3 remain the same.
2000's - top 3 are DG, ZTA, DDD, which then fell for various reasons. DG had a stumble due to a silly video, but UF is a very traditional school and the top houses will always remain strong. It's hard to fall down at UF in terms of Greek standings.
