how is chi o considered top?

This is harsh but it's actually the truth. ChiO has some great girls but overall they're just not cutting it. DDD and KD do outrank them by leaps and bounds and houses that are considered "lower" do actually have more to offer and all overall more well rounded.

It's really just tradition. Chi Omega was the first sorority chartered on the Ole Miss campus. DG charted earlier on a different campus close to Ole Miss. Back then only the wealth and more prestigious families could send their daughters to college so I guess Chi O has been able to hang on to some of that prestige for well over a 100 years ago. Usually the first few Sororities chartered on any campus maintain their top tier spot unless something drastic happens. The first Sororities on the Ole Miss Campus were Chi O, Tri-Delt, Phi Mu, KD and DG. In that order except for DG, I can't find their charter date for Ole Miss. Those Sororities tend to have more active local (Mississippi/Memphis) alumni which provides more support to the Sorority, which encourages legacies. They appear more prestigious because tradition says they are.

As a PNM, I can tell you that it's only the Jackson girls I know who are XO legacies (if any) who think it's Chi O or die, but I think others are open minded & want to meet new people. After small group this week, we talked about when you get in a house where everyone is from your city, you didn't accomplish much and you only moved up to 13th grade.

I preffed chi o and didn't get them and I've been upset about it since, chi o doesn't care about its ranking or anything like that. They fit their own mold and do their own thing and that is attractive to a lot of pnms. I'm in a house who is always caring to much about how we appear to alumni and it's made me sorority experience dull. Being in a top house isn't always what it seems like. All chapters have their issues. My chapter cares so much about our status that it is stupid, chi o doesn't and that's why they are a chapter for top girls who dgaf.

This so obviously written by ddd..... we all know they had a less than stellar rush last year. Don't worry though, there are always plenty of judgemental fake "good" girls with Bible verses in their profile to keep it alive.

My opinion?

As the ole miss student body changes, which it is doing more and more, so do the tiers. Some on campus consider xo top tier. Alums definitely do. Others just don't and never will see it.

And the theta of this school would probably be like the phi mu equivalent at any other school. Yall are too worried about tiers, who cares grow up

I think a bunch of the Chi O's are attractive.

bc we have MONEY. sorry but not sorry!!
