self rank

by: Oklahoma

I am a Tri Delt and went through rush this past month. I can confidently say I had a great time at Chi O, Pi Phi, Alpha Phi and of course Tri Delt. I know a lot of girls that had combinations of those 4 houses on Pref Night. Alpha Phi and Chi O had great rushes! It annoys me that everyone is accusing them of self ranking. I kept them all the way up until Pref, where I visited Pi Phi and Tri delt. I bonded with the girls more in Tri Delt and had lots of friends go there from back home. I tend to hangout and see girls from those 4 houses at events!! I think all 4 have something unique to offer and are considered a top house. Pi Phi may have best grades though and best national reputation but I found a home in tri delt!

Chi O/ A Phi get off here. No one had A Phi and Chi O along with Tri Delta and Pi Phi. I'm in one of those houses and I don't ever remember having any girls from A Phi and only a scattering from Chi O. Those girls do not go to top house prefs. You'll know how true this is by the number of comments you see saying "I'm an A Phi and I was at Theta for pref but liked A Phi so much better," or "I'm a Chi O. It was hard to choose but I bonded with them more than Kappa." It's all bs.

It's not true to say that any Chi O had a top house for pref but chose Chi O. Maybe there was a legacy but most girls I know went to the best house they could get, not a mid to lower house like Chi O. Whoever she is she's just trying to make high school girls think Chi O is good. Newsflash. It's not.

Why do Chio and Aphi think people are gonna believe they're top houses just because they keep saying it.They're ok but not houses anybody came to OU to be a part of.

the people leaving these messages sound like they got cut by aphi or chi o lmao...like seriously does no one have anything better to do than leave hate?! I know girls in theta/kappa and chio/aphi and the ONLY difference between the two during rush was that kappa and theta took girls that had better resumes, grades, and recs while chi o and aphi took/valued girls with personality and genuineness rather than base there pc on girls with a good “reputation”...overall each house has something good to offer

The thing people are laughing about is how A Phi and Chi O have been on here saying they killed recruitment. You're right that each house takes a different kind of girl, but the top houses take girls with more than one attribute -- resumes, grades, reputation, activities, personality, and genuineness. The lower houses take girls that are lacking in some or most of those categories. That's why everyone knows that Chi O and A Phi are middle houses at best and based on their new classes they're going lower than some of the other middle houses. Sorry, not hate, just truth.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not in what is considered a "top 5" house by most people, but we cut a girl during the first round because she had a really BAD reputation from high school. It was very well known! She's now a Kappa, which is kind of funny since they pretend to care so much about good reputations...

If this happened, it's not because Kappa doesn't care. Kappa of all the houses gives bids based on social standing of a girl's family or closeness to an involved alum. So she had something that made Kappa give her a bid. They weren't desperate to just take some girl with a bad rep.

here’s the thing, everything is a matter of opinion. Certain girls go certain houses by choice. While other girls go because they didn’t have anything else. At the end of the day all that matters is that you end up where you fit in the best. Kappa and Theta are known as the top of the top because they get girls who are really well known and rounded. The girls that have good instas, reps and a social life. That doesn’t mean that tri delt, chi o, pi phi and the rest of the houses don’t get girls like that too, they do. Most of the time Kappa and Theta just have the majority of those girls and they have a reputation of top houses so it appeals to more girls. Ranking the houses isn’t really fair, they all have something to offer and i think they all appeal some sort of personality/ group. All in all each house fits for a certain type of person. It’s okay if your house isn’t kappa or theta or even the top 5. You fit in and love it and that’s all that matters. and with the house standings right now pc 18 overall has been a great group of girls and every house got an outstanding pc. So i’d say the rankings will change. Everyone should be on their A game bc the girls will only get better from here:)

Like you said, it's all a matter of opinion. Where I'm from in TX, Pi Phi and Kappa are considered the top 2 houses. Those are the ones that everyone from my high school wants. All of the popular girls from my hometown thought Theta was nerdy and uptight. I was cut by Pi Phi and Kappa, and am still a little sad about it, but making friends in my house and overall happy.

Kappa gets the socially connected girls and Theta and Tri Delta get the well rounded girls. Pi Phi and G Phi get girls left over from the above. Chi O and DG get girls left over after the above get their choices. Then AXO and AP, then AOP then AGD. At least that is what's happened since I've been here

You couldn't be more wrong in saying that all other houses get Kappa's leftovers. I personally know several girls who cut Kappa. And by the way, several of those "socially connected girls" need to put the fork down, because there sure are a lot of big girls in that house...yikes!

The truth is that socially connected girls are not always future Miss OUs. And of course Kappa doesn't get them all, but it's true that that's generally the kind of girl they get. You've got to admit they're very well connected.

You do have a point that Kappas generally go after wealthy, connected girls. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, many of those types won't be in a pageant any time soon. Their looks are going downhill and the scale is going up. I know it's not nice to say, but is the truth. My friend from back home is coming to OU next year and is a Kappa legacy. She's already decided that she doesn't want Kappa, so her mom might leave it off of her recruitment package. She's VERY well connected, BTW.

I think that rankings are hard because not all houses recruit the same type girls. Like I agree that Kappa takes more girls that connected like they were saying above. Theta takes seriously academic girls that are also well rounded. Tri Delta and G Phi take more girl next door type with Tri Delta being ahead of G Phi. Pi Phi takes a more random mix of beauties, girls next door, smart, barely making it, etc. DG, AXO, XO, and A Phi fight over the rest of the pack. DG won last year, can't tell about this year, but XO and AXO do well with girls with some flash. A Phi recruits stongly for attractiveness and don't care about the rest. AOP and AGD sort out the remaining girls and each houses gets some good ones each year.

When you see these ratings a lot of times you can tell the bias of the ranker by how high she puts the flashy middle houses. You can tell how they value academics by how high they rate Theta. Same goes for connections, and for personality and well roundedness.

So just be who you are and don't worry about it. You're in the right place now, just have fun and of course study hard!

I personally cut theta and kappa after round 2. I was not impressed at all. I kept a phi, chi o, pi phi, tri delt and DG over what some people consider “top houses.” I got cut from Tri Delt and Kappa had moved up so I visited them for house tours. I did not like the whole sleeping porch situation and with theta, i knew i wanted to cut them early on bc of the rule being that you cant live in until junior year.

I also cut Kappa. There are more of us than that house wants you to believe. I have Kappa "friends" who look down on others because they think their house is the best. I disagree.
