will gphi stay in the top tier?
by: I don't get itBased on the comments on here they seem to be seriously slipping. Girls were just ok this year, on the whole, about on par in looks with AXO, Aphi and Piphi. Plus, they only have one philanthropy a year and while it's fun and well attended, not sure how much it actually raises in donations. Perhaps they are on top simply because of history but after this year, their rank seems very vulnerable.

They really don't do much. Their reputation is built on all the hype and propaganda they create on this website. Definitely do not live up to their hype as a sorority or in how "hot" they are. They have a variety of of looks throughout their sorority from the very attractive to pleasant average. Just like every other sorority on Langdon. They could do better in philanthropy too.

First of all, who cares? The whole system is getting stronger, we have a new sorority comkng on---can't people just be happy with that?
That said, everyone knows that top tier at Wisco is basically set in stone. All 3 houses have been various versions of 1-3 for the last TWENTY years. Like I laid out in my pledge class post, gphi's 2014 PC might not be as amaze as last years, but it's still really good. I didn't rank them before, but I would say they are tied for top class (with kappa, UGH). And unfortunately no one cares about a sorority's philanthropy---that is definitely something I learned in my 4 years as an active. If they did, tridelt would be top tier. Besides, grilled cheese might be barely passable as a philanthropy, but it's one of the best known/most well-attended. Point is, sorry girls, but gphi isn't moving down anytime soon unless something catastrophic happens. And for the record, I don't think they are "running" this site---so stupid. There are several sororities that have an active presence on this site (including my own, unfortunately), but not them. Between this and the AXO pledge class post, I am so glad that I'm a 5th year and somewhat removed from this ish---it's all tear down the girls on top and bully the girls on the bottom. It's been interesting to see it from outside the bubble.

It's interesting how every sorority, except GPhi, can be critiqued and criticized on this website. Some of those comments can be quite cruel and those sororities are basically told to shut up if they try to defend themselves. However, if someone does have an opinion that goes against GPhi being the best, then someone comes on ranting about how things are set in stone, ranks will never change, and GPhi will always be the best.

nope, not slipping. I don't think anyone understands how limited social mobility is with sororities. Maybe their PC is amazing (btw I have no idea if it is or not) maybe it isn't. One PC doesn't define a sorority. To drop/slip/whatever, a top house would have to get put on probation, not have any mixers with good frats and have 4 years of bad recruitment (so all the girls from the "good" era are replaced). I don't think that's going to happen to any house here
Sororities dont move up and down like frats. They don't get kicked off. They don't throw parties and have social functions. All the rankings are based upon are recruitment and that pretty much stays the same year to year. My parents went here 30 years ago and when I asked them which houses were good back then, they responded with an almost identical opinion as holds true now.

Honestly, we hang with GPhi cuz they're fun, plain and simple. Yeah some are hot too, but that's a bonus, not a reason. They're fun and comfortable with themselves. Other sororities (alpha phi) I feel like every social interaction is a piece of a game. It's off putting.

I actually agree with most of what you said except the part about the fact that their rep is based on this website. That might be part of it but they do put on a great recruitment and are always one of the most desirable houses for pnms to want to go back to.
