sorority personalities

Delta Zeta
Average girls, similar to but a bit better than Tri Delt. Think they're a bit better than they are but they have done okay recently with rush and pairings. Lot of girls that go out.

Gamma Phi Beta
Probably the worst 'large' sorority other than SDT (who I'm not going to bother putting on here). Routinely struggles with recruitment numbers/retention and there's a lot of drama/gossip that goes on in the house.

Theta
Good house, equal to Tri Delt or AXO. They've been on social probation for the past several semesters so I don't really have the best idea of how they are socially, but the girls I know otherwise are nice enough and tend to focus on grades.

Kappa Delta
This will be one of my longer descriptions as they are new to campus. They chartered two years ago and had their first official rush last year. So far they have been doing okay but there's no way to tell where they'll end up long term. The girls that go out are chill enough but they also don't have a physical house. If you're looking for a sorority that doesn't have an 'identity' yet, this is one of the few that isn't heavily stereotyped. On par with Phi Mu/AXiD.

KKG
They're popular and they know it. For the most part these girls are either rich/pretty or smart/dedicated (glitter/glue basically). Some of them are annoying while others are nice, but for the most part these girls are comparable to the typical 'cheerleaders' from high school. Get in loser, we're going to Jersey Tuesday.

Phi Mu
Below average sorority in general. The girls are okay, the house is okay, everything is 'okay'. They used to be much higher but their recent rushes have been below average and they've been struggling a lot with the social scene.

Pi Phi
Similar to Chi O in standings, except they party. A lot. These girls are all pretty nice/chill and they get along but they get wild (not a bad thing). A friend's sister was a Purdue Pi Phi and she's still crazy at 28.

Sigma Kappa
The 'is pepsi okay' of sororities. They don't have many stand out characteristics and their girls are pretty average. I just don't really have much to say about this house.

Zeta
Similar to Tri Delt when it comes to girls but they have a large campus presence due to BMOC. Biggest sorority philanthropy if that's something you actually care about. They've been struggling socially recently and had difficulty finding a house to pair with for football season.

ZBT
Included in the sorority personalities cause they aren't a real fraternity. Their house looks like a Pizza Hut and they don't have a pledgeship. They got Lambda kicked off (RIP in peace) because all they care about is social climbing.

----------------------------------------------

Don't take this as a full description of every girl in every house. Each house has it's nice girls and it's crazy girls but these are the general public perceptions. The most important thing in joining a house isn't what other people think about you for being in that house but instead if you get along with the girls in the house. Think of your house like your clothes. The only people who judge you on it are those who don't know you and you should be getting to know as many people as possible freshman year. First impressions matter, but not as much as what happens after that first impression.

From a "glitter/glue" alum, these are an unfortunate and inaccurate block of descriptions of stereotypes of the sororities. And as a PNM, you're crazy if you let "Unbiased's" list influence your rush experience. Each house has some great members. As a member, I don't want any member who 1. Asks for stereotypes and 2. Writes a list. It's NOT what a sorority is about.

First off, thank you @Unbiased! That is exactly what I was looking for. Maybe some of your descriptions were wrong, but based on the thumbs up and people defending you, they seemed pretty genuine and fair. It didn't seem to favor/bash any specific houses. I also like how you left tiers out of it.

I know not all girls fit into the stereotype of the house! But, I also know that stereotypes exist for a reason, and I want to be prepared for the assumptions that will be made about me when I go XYZ.

Good luck to all PNMs and actives - let's have a great recruitment!

If you are looking to consistently pair with top frats--go aphi, pi phi, chi o, or kappa. That is if they want you they are particular af

Some salty girl bashing a bunch of houses, then a bunch of salty houses bashing a salty girl. Classic Purdue Greek life lol

Remember, the new members, your pledge class, will be over 1/4 of the active participants in house activities. And people change a lot between first days on campus through graduation. So, impossible to base your decision just on who's already there, and what you and the others will be like during you time with your sisters. As others have said, go in with an open mind, be the best genuine "you" you can be, and go with the feelings you develop through recruiting, especially the final stages, in choosing your new sisters.

You won't be fooled. You will get the vibe of each house at every party. The trick to recruitment is NOT to pick YOUR TOP houses after each round. They will pick for YOU. Once you see who invites you back - you will know which of those houses you want to return to. Don't overthink it. Enjoy each party. In the end you will end up where you will fit right in. They can't fool you and more importantly you can't fool them!

Honestly any house is good so just find the right one for you. The girls know who will fit well in their sisterhood and will only take those girls(besides SDT cause they invite everyone back). Basically your bottom tier is AGD, GPhi, and SDT. I personally would avoid them but if it's where you belong go for it. It's all about what you make of it
