sorority comments

Dues may vary for several reasons. Some sororities (Tridelt and SK especially) use their dues to win events like Derby days (SK spent at least 1500 on bidding on pledges to win second place) They get 3 pledges for 24 hours, but I mean thats the way they choose to spend their dues. Some older houses may have higher dues so they can remodel. Just know that dues dont pay for everything, they just subsidize a lot of things. Exchanges are covered. Invites tend to be from 10-20 a person instead of the absurd amount they would be for renting out a club. Bid Day and House Retreat are covered. All houses have meal plans, but the amount of meals vary from just getting formal dinner to having a full on 10 meal-meal plan.

SK 4,650
ADPi 4,758
XO 5,040

did they actually haze/what did they do? or is it all just rumors?

yeah.. read the comments

KKG (clearly #1)
DG/SK/PI PHI (depends on what you base it on. looks(PiPhi)/personality(DG) or mix of both but not as strong in either(SK))
APHI/CHIO (about the same in looks. APHI is more social/involved. ChiO is has a cleaner rep)
AOPi/AXO (very similar! Cute girls but kinda boring and not involved)
ADPi (on the row, but that's the only good thing)
GPhiB/DDD (DDD is prettier but GPhiB has better rep and involvement)
Theta (strong sisterhood but lacking in everything else)

Pretty much agree. Though I think DG wins out on Pi Phi and SK because of classiness too. I'd rank ADpi last because of hazing, though their girls are cuter than DDD, Theta and GPB. I think looking at it as a 3 tier system is the best.

Kappa, DG, SK, Pi-Phi
XO, AXO, AOII, APhi
GphiB, Tri-Delt, Theta, ADPi

3 tier system is the best. the houses on the same tiers are really similar but they do have subtle differences in their pros/cons. No individual ranking works universally because it depends on what qualities you value in a sorority.

TOP: KKG, DG, SK, Pi Phi
MIDDLE: XO, AOPi, AXO, APhi
BOTTOM: GPhiB, ADPi, DDD, Theta

This year the tiers changed A LOT more than usual! The way things are headed, I predict this rank for fall 2012. There are three clear tiers and higher and lower ones within each tier.

Top:
KKG
DG/PiPhi
SK

Mid:
AOPi
ChiO/AXO
APhi

Bottom:
GPhiB
DDD/ADPi
Theta

No house gets all 5s. There are a few on here who keep getting all-5 ratings, and to be honest, my house is one of them. And it's embarrassing. So whoever is doing that, stop. It doesn't make the house look good, just stupid.

To sisters who are self-ranking their own house. Stop making yourself look desperate!
