why is theta disliked?

I wish someone would answer this question honestly(which I doubt anyone can do) because I have been trying to get the answer to this from this site for months now! All anyone can say is Theta is lower tier and always has been and always will be.But that is false information b/c Theta came on campus strong in 1978 and was solid middle tier(along with DG, Phi Mu, Kappa, & Pi Phi) for over 20 years. You will get an answer about the type of girls, but that is based solely on stereotype and not actual knowledge. In reality, they are lovely women! Or, you will get an answer about Theta's diversity being a negative factor because most ladies from MS don't want to branch out of their comfort zone of the circles they ran in during high school. I am not saying this is a bad thing or judging, just stating what the facts are. It is difficult to put a label on a Theta and I think that is what gives so many people trouble. Theta women are independent, smart, forward thinking, strong, caring, and don't easily fit into a mold. Some think those are good qualities and others don't. Theta is very strong nationally and has sisters like Laura Bush, Lynn Cheney, Cindy McCain, Amy Grant, Cheryl Crowe,and Tori Burch just to name a few! So,I say to "by confused"...you are on the right track by appraising Theta women positively! We can all be nice. It's not really a competition at all, but an individual experience of sisterhood.

Get such a bad rank.Don't really know why , but in the few years I've been here they seem to be steadily getting better. The friends I know in there are really nice girls !

Other than this site listing them last, I haven't read anything bad about them. Why would you assume that just because they are listed in a lower tier that people are saying bad things about them? This is ole miss. Even our lowest ranked sorority is better than most at other college campuses. Truth is that sororities competes. Somebody has to be listed last. I guess that ranking comes from how well they recruit and how many girls want to drop them during rush. Tradition plays a large roll in this. Historically the longer a sorority has been on campus, the better it is ranked. Theta is one of the newer ones right?

Let's just say it... Theta was the first NPC sorority at Ole Miss to pledge an AA girl. They have continued to pledge members of other cultures. The Thetas at Ole Miss have a rich & diverse sisterhood that they are justifiably proud of. There are a lot of small minded people at Ole Miss that hold this against them.... not everybody, but a lot.

Yes, Theta at Ole Miss is one of the newer sororities on campus. They have "only" been there for 35 years ;-) Other sororities have come & gone in that 35 years. Right now, only ADPi has been on campus a shorter time.
