what are the real sorority rankings here?

slightly wrong.... Pi Phi is definitely top and SK is not on the same level as DG

Kappa, Pi Phi
Theta, Chi-O, Gamma Phi
DG
KD
AXO, SK, DDD
ADPI
AGD, SDT

You're a Pi Phi, otherwise I don't think you would think they're better than the top tier of the original list. Pi Phi and Theta compete at a lower level than Chi O, Kappa, and G Phi.

However wrote this is clearly wrong. GPHI will never be top 3 lol. They are more like DG

Couldn't agree more. 100% accurate.

Way to take the time to hash this out for the PNM's. This is the most accurate post regarding the original question. Thanks. :)

I don't see the basis of why you think theta had a bad rush, especially compared to Chi O and G Phi. They had to do informal which means a lot of people in their new member class dropped. As for Kappa, all the girls I've met in their new pledge class are great.

I completely agree. If houses have to do informal it usually means that members of their new class were unsatisfied and dropped. However, Chi O and G Phi are still very good top houses. I agree with your rankings.

The only reason ChiO, and I'm assuming GPhi as well, have to do informal is because our international doesn't count our juniors that leave for nursing school as active members. So, when we have 10 girls leave for nursing school, we need to fill those spots. I guarantee that's what GPhi does. It isn't because they didn't get enough girls in the fall.

You're disturbed if you think Theta is above Gamma Phi Beta or Chi Omega. Theta may be top tier, but they're at the very very bottom.

Sorry, I have to clarify. I heard that this is a website that PNMs sometimes check before going to the University of Kansas and after looking through the site, that saddens me concerning some of the things that are being said. However, I did want to clear some things up. Each year, it seems, more and more girls drop out of recruitment during the week. This is because at the University of Kansas, there is a quota for each pledge class. No pledge class can have more than this quota, but every sorority is GUARANTEED a pledge class. Because there is a large range of how desired each house is during recruitment, this causes a trickle-down effect. Say a PNM preferences a chapter to visit the third day of recruitment, but if the chapter has had high return rates the previous year, they are not allowed to invite as many PNMs.The PNM will be trickled down to a chapter that gets to invite more girls back because they (unfortunately) have a low percentage of PNMs that preferenced wanting to go back. The PNM will become upset because she did not get to go to the chapter she wanted to and drop recruitment. Many PNMs drop for this reason and it causes the pledge class quotas to become smaller. Other schools base pledge class quota on return rate, and while this is a good idea, there are too many chapters and not enough girls going through recruitment to do this. Because of the drop-out rate, experts have come in to redesign our recruitment process.

Cont. The model used in the fall of 2012 was a failure and there was no way to predict that. While it was a good attempt, it caused quite a mess. Many chapters that have never had the issue with reaching a full quota were suddenly experiencing this due to the process, not due to how desired they were. There should not be a stigma on informal rush. The chapters that chose to do it after that recruitment welcomed wonderful girls into their pledge classes. Some chapters had no need to do it, some chose not too, but there was nothing wrong with those that did. No houses (to my knowledge) count nursing students as active members. Perhaps if they are attending at KU med (I'm not sure) but otherwise, a member must be a KU student to be considered an active member. Thankfully, the model for recruitment used in 2013 worked much more successfully. Hopefully the model continues to work. If not, I sadly believe there is not enough interest in recruitment at the University of Kansas for there to be 13 active houses.

All of this aside, Greek Life is an absolutely wonderful way to spend your years at the University of Kansas. I strongly recommend it to anyone. It is a way to find a home at a large school, and a close group of friends who you will forever share something special with. And as far as recruitment goes, no matter what happens it all works out in the end. I know that sounds cheesy, but trust me, it couldn't be more true. Good luck to any future PNMs! And just so you know, don't trust this site because in actuality, the majority of sorority members are friends with many, many girls in other sororities.

I agree girls drop for many reasons and the main one being financial. Some girls will get into a house and then realize "hey I can't afford this." There were a couple girls in my pledge class that dropped and they just did that bc they couldn't really afford it anymore. Also I plan to go to nursing school after my sophomore year and with my chapter I will not drop, I will have an exit status. That just means I am not an active member nor alum, but can come back to be an alum later with my pledge class. Its different for each chapter tho!
