sorority comments

Talk about catty and insecure. I'm going through rush next year but I'm familiar with the houses. The top houses do not need to rank themselves. You're just trying to get in your digs. The middle and lower houses care enough to complain. You are in Kappa or Theta, I'll bet.

If you are incoming freshman, it is extremely disturbing that you would extract information from a site that is an inaccurate and incredibly negative reflection of IU Greek life. Recruitment is very, very competitive. If you are already "familiar" with the houses and have preconceived notions--you are in for a rude awakening. Good luck with that approach. As "UGH" points out below, many of these postings make Indiana Greeks appear unbelievably cruel--the IU site contains the most numerous, immature and malevolent Greek Rank rants of any school. Yet, the reality is that what you read here represents a very, very small MINORITY of women in panhel --most likely just a handful based on the number of repeated comments. Let's face it, reading this garbage is like a gaping at an auto accident--it is impossible to look away--though we all know we should. Go through recruitment with an open mind and be genuine kind and sincere?if you approach it any other way?you will be very disappointed

poster below. Well said!

I don't see anything wrong with going to sites like this because I've made some valuable observations in doing so. Selecting a house involves many factors which include Internet research, friends, family and direct communication with girls in the houses. It is best if all this is done prior to recruitment. It is almost abrasive and even insulting to tell someone to NOT read something as it screams insecurity. I'm embarrassed that @toexactly went on her little diatribe because everyone knows this is what it is. There have been a time where some of the less popular houses have been at the top and the more popular houses were at the bottom with no complaints from posters like @toexactly. In fact, there was a time Kappa and Theta were at the top but since they hit the bottom, we see all these holier than thou responses about Greek Rank. Freshman are more sophisticated than @toexactly claims. There is no need to frighten them with the process.

I am an alum and a former RG. I was trying to help you. I Was NOT in one of the houses you mentioned, and spent my time in a solid well respective chapter. That being said i respected ALL houses on campus. You have every right to read what you wish, my point was that if you are truly ( and I now question this) a member of the incoming class, it would benefit you to gain perspective based on interface rather than unsubstantiated and negative comments. Best of luck to you...

I am late to this thread, but it seems to me that everytime someone tries to be postive about IU greek life or offers advice, they are attacked with responses that seem completely disconnected from the intent of the post. There are multiple posters here trying to keep things positive. As far as recently graduated alums checking in, that does not seem strange at all--people want to know what the public perception of their chapter might be. IU is a great school with an awesome Greek system. 'nough said....

I thought the ppl who thought they were positive were a little hypocritical. This is a goofy place to read a little gossip and this one annoying person keeps complaining about the ranking system. Ppl will make their own decisions and they don't need some snit who isn't even a student lecture us.

based on total number of initiates ..in order beginning with the largest:
1.ChiO
2.KAT
3.Tri Delt
4.KKG
5.PiPhi
6.KD
7.DZ
8.ADPi
9.AXO
10.ZTA
11.APhi
12.DG
I had to two top 12 instead of top 10 because i can't imagine APhi and DG NOT being in the top

Worthless information because it has no bearing whatsoever at IU.Theta is one of the worst houses at IU and Kappa at number 4? That's one way for desperate houses to self promote. Those 2 houses have had a bad rep bashing houses along with internal drama. Some houses may be more popular at other schools but at IU they suck. Chio has been struggling but they had a good rush last year so they are slowly moving
up.
