So here it is--Kappa was and is a top house here and will be for years to come. They are old, well-known, and wealthy. Many prominent alumnae--great reputation nationally. Some years may have a little better pledge classes, but Kappa at Northwestern is a classy, old-money house that is highly desirable. Anyone who says otherwise is jealous or engaging in wishful thinking.

Wanting to be in the top 3 does not make it so. Averge group that is slightly on the rise, but does not have the old money or alumnae or backing to go head-to-head with Kappa or Theta or Tri Delt. May improve, but will not crack top tier for years and years.

Get real. An average house that is working their way up. Not at all competetive with the top houses. Decent girls and grades, but nothing special. In spite of what they want people to believe, they are bottom middle at best--decent rush this year, but that does not make them top 5 or 6.

money doesn't have to show off. Kappa's certainly do. Look, they're a good house here and have been for a long time, usually ranked somewhere between 1 and 3 depending on who you ask. But they could do well to up the class. There are well-off girls in every sorority (this is northwestern), but Kappa would do well to up their drunken displays. There's nothing "old money" or enviable" about that.

is with all this talk about "old money?" There are wealthy people at northwestern, yes. This isn't the south. There isn't one house at Northwestern with an established "old money" tradition. Period. Furthermore, every house at NU is strong nationally; we don't have any of the smaller or lesser known houses that bigger schools tend to have. And also, every house has girls who are well-off AND girls who are on financial aid. So calm down.

meant "up the class and lose the drunken displays." Sorry, typo

known as the good guys, and this year, also the fun guys! really relaxed, funny and cute. reliable unlike pike, lodge and sigep..

known as the douchebags. encourage their pledges to be douchebags and not talk to their friends if they are in certain frats (phidelts/ZBTs). very very sketchy parties, never go alone.
