sorority comments

I know not to believe everything I read on here...but those of us who know about it do look! I would like to hear some honest opinions about rankings. I know all about top six and tiers and all that. I honestly have little to no chance for PKT but have lots of recs for the other top six, so who knows, I know recruitment is tough. I am open-minded and really not particularly hoping and praying for any one sorority though. I just hope to get in one with fun, cute girls who mix with some decent frats. I know some people will Never step down from "Top Six and then all" the rest opinions. ANd that is fine, I am sure they are awesome. I just would like to hear from some people who can honestly rank based on what they see in the greek system today. All opinions welcome as long as they arent mean.:)

Don't worry about Pi Phi, Kappa and Theta. You will find out that some girls in those sororities are always trying to put down girls in Zeta, Chio and Tridelt because they feel threatened by them. This has been going on for years. Your prettier, more wholesome girls are in the tier right below PKT. Girls in all of those six sororities hang out together during college and after.

I know neighborhoods, high schools, and summer camps are really important...or so I hear. I have a good gpa, was very active in high school (cheer, golf, clubs)and in my community(mission work, volunteering) am a legacy to a not top six but still apparently decent sorority. I have recs for most houses. I don't have a fancy address or high school and I went to TBARM summer camp for 5 years. Not exactly PKT material either(Like the PNM below said too). I am curious where girls like me usually end up. Any chance at PKT or top six? I am just interested because I plan on keeping an open mind...but it is also good to be realistic coming in.

Most girls you are competing with have good activities because Texas simply draws the best of the high schools. TBARM has a great reputation, so that's good. Since you cheered, you are probably in good shape. You didn't mention your physical appearance and what kind of personality you have. Those things matter also! Best of luck - you sound humble and that's a plus as well!

Pi Phi/Theta- richest, doesn't matter what you look like.
XO//Kappa--um, diverse & classy
TriDelt//AXO--good looking and good personalities
Zeta//DG-- pretty and fun to party with

You're obviously an AXO. You've got em a little mixed up there. But I don't blame you. I know ya'll get sick of being stuck with DG.

Um, I agree that Chio is classy.....but Kappa?

If you don't have the connections for PKT, then it is honestly just going to depend on how you rush. How you look, if you know anyone, how poised/polished you are, etc. the houses you are the most comfortable in and feel, the most relaxed at will also be the ones you rush the best at. Hard to believe ahead of time but true! Go where you are comfortable. There are great girls in every chapter. I know it is hard to believe this until you go through, but you really will feel more comfortable at some then others and you will be able to tell what sororities you would fit in and enjoy.....probably several by the way. Relax and enjoy it.

agree. When you join a sorority at UT, just remember that there will be outstanding girls in all of the chapters. The 10% rule automatically screens girls somewhat. So many girls go through - do the math. The sororities are all seasoned and well established. Have fun!

A certain jealous individual needs to quit picking on Kappa.
