great 8 and pkt

by:    

Is it true that in this day and time, ranks are basically just 2 groups? That is, either PKT, or now days, the great 8? My sister in PKT said a big 6 reference is becoming obselete.

That makes sense, since this is 2017 compared to 1976 when a joke article was written. In 1976, Phi Delt was THE top fraternity, above or equal to Fiji or SAE. Also, KA and Delt were just about near tops too. Now look, things change with fraternities too.

XO, Zeta, Theta, AXO, Kappa, TriDelt, Pi Phi, DG

No DG. No. APhi surpassed you long ago.

By the mid 80s Phi Delt had gotten small and weird. They were still vey rich but only had 70-80 members.. Had a great female mud wrestling open party though.

Not entirely accurate. They were still very good in the 80's and into the early 90's. They did lose their stronghold on Houston and Dallas but were very strong in other cities and towns throughout the state. I remember being amazed by the way they found the best guys from smaller towns.

They were always smaller than the other top houses by design. I don't remember them ever having big pledge classes. Seemed more about quality then quantity. Their house was were always in top leadership roles in Cowboys and Spurs, mixed w/ PKT, DDD and Chi O and had parties with Fiji and SAE.

I remember the mud party and a crash up derby that were not like any other party on campus. I was friends with several of these guys and we would end up here late night after our parties were over. Always had the best parties and bands that played way into the night. So much fun.

So am I to assume this Great 8 group is XO, Zeta, Theta, AXO, Kappa, TriDelt, Pi Phi, DG? I already know what PKT stands for--Pi Phi, Theta, Kappa

Nah, DG has fallen off the cliff the past two years. It'd be PKT, Zeta, TriDelt, ChiO, AXO, APhi

Over time, frats have moved up and down more than sororities.

Big 6 is still top now as it was back when that article was written. Alpha Chi and Alpha Phi round out the Great 8.

by: Yea   

Right, the Great 8 is rounded out like:

XO, Zeta, Theta, AXO, Kappa, TriDelt, Pi Phi, & (#8 is either DG//Aphi)

APhi and AXO hangout with the good fraternites at UT no less than any of the other big 6. Big 6 doesn't really matter IMO. Definately a dropoff after the top 8 sororities

AXO and Alpha Phi are thirsty. There is no Great 8 and Alpha Phi is not that great. There are a few pretty girls but weak sisterhood and the girls are fake.

Big 6 is still a thing and axo/aphi are thirsty but still swap a bunch with Big 6.

Really, the true test of being a good chapter is if your group has Spur and Cowboy Sweeties.

Well, Cowboys had only one AXO and one APhi sweetheart this time yet DG had SS sweethearts so not sure if this is the best representation.

AXO and Aphi are ok but there is really not a big drop after Aphi. Aphi does a lot of self ranking on this site. Their last few pledge groups have been so so. They are on the decline.

I'm so sure a guy would get on GR and defend a sorority. Face it you guys are on the decline. Fake sisterhood and self rank so much on this site.

You sound like a real classy guy and the way you talked about how they put out just proves what kind of girls they are. Proved my point.

PKT really isn't a thing anymore

By: hookem100
by: lol   

pkt will always be a thing.. it's always gonna be those three that are seen as the more "exclusive" ones. mommy only has to make one or two phone calls to get you into zeta, but it takes loooottttss of work to get a girl into pkt. I agree, they're not really better for any reason rather than their tradition/history, but they will always be at the top...just saying.

All you have to do is be from certain areas of Dallas and Houston and be well off... not hard. just a certain type of girl

chi O is not really the same as before; they take a wider variety of girls now. much less exclusive.
ddd has moved up over chi O;
aPhi and aXo are very good; you don't want to go beyond them.
so yeah, big 6 plus 2, great 8, whatever, IS a thing.

By: uhhh
by: I agree   

chi o is still good but indistinguishable from aphi/axo.
