who are the "core four"?
by: Greek GeekHow do they compare to the "Big Six"? Could some of these sororities or others change ranks?
Comment#3 by: truth
The reality is the difference between them are more about where they come from, more than who they are. All the women in the top 10 houses are smart, beautiful and talented. The Big 6 girls will be from either private or very prestigious public schools (think old money) and the Core 4 girls will be from high achieving public schools, some private and their parents are more "new money" types. But guess what, old or new money, they both pay the dues and the like I said earlier, the quality of girl is similar.

Half of the reason the big six is the big six is the way they appeared at UT in the first place. Pi Phi was first and Chi O or Theta last I think. Not completely sure about the sequence. UT just has a lot of history.

Replace ADPi with KD and you hit the hammer on the head there for the top 10
Also, Big 6 is a misnomer. It represents the six UT sororities that survived the Great Depression. They have the longest tradition on campus thus are the top 6 houses.
The only thing dividing the 10 though, is zip code of the PNMs. Old money gets big 6 traditionally while core 4 get new money.

ADPi was on campus before ZTA and survived the great depression so I don't think that's where the name comes from. KD was on campus, closed and came back and although not a top 10, is still a good sorority here.

The majority of chapters at UT are strong. The biggest made at UT is that some chapters are "better" than others. Sorority choice is personal, and what is great for Suzy Q may not be for Suzy X. If you go in thinking you have to a Top 6, Top 8 or Top 10 chapter, you could find yourself very disappointed. EVERY chapter at UT has something to offer. You are better off going through the process and see where you land. I can't say I have ever met someone who wishes they were a GDI over where they ended up even if it was not their first choice.

Honestly that is dead ... There are 10 really strong houses at UT. Do not think for one minute axo or a phi aren't top tier houses at UT. They have very certain criteria for who they pledge just like all houses. If you think that getting a bid from them is easy you would be mistaken. This leads to very unhappy girls when this is the perception .

Totally agree! I looked at each chapters bid day pics to kind of test this theory out. I could tell a little difference at the lower chapter. For the most part, it is quite true.
