I found this online and I need everyone to talk about it with me 💀

“First of all, all of the 26 sororities in the NPC have top chapters at some schools, and there are many sororities rising to give the ‘old guard’ a run for their money! My observations aren’t the party line of ‘’all sororities are the same’’. Granted everyone finds the ‘BEST’ sorority for themselves.

If by top, you mean the sororities that are NATIONALLY and REALISTICALLY considered to be the most elite, the most selective, and having the strongest reputations, with high standards for membership, then there are three that have a consensus in the Greek world as having clout, selectivity, and a very favorable reputation.

Pi Beta Phi founded 1867

Kappa Alpha Theta founded 1870

Kappa Kapppa Gamma founded 1870

William Domhoff, who wrote ‘Who Rules America? (Seventh edition, p. 57), noted that upper-class college women "joined one of the four or five sororities with nationwide social prestige. ( Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, Delta Delta Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma,)

Pi Phi, Theta & Kappa usually have the consistent track record of selectively and excellence with required high standards.

One caveat, these women’s fraternities, founded before sorority was added, often have the reputation of not being the most welcoming, friendliest women. Nor do they always have the best sisterhoods, Since there are Alpha Queen Bees, there can be added drama. However, despite any inevitable flaws, they are extremely selective overall. Generally, they get ‘pick of the litter’ among prospective new members. One or all of these organizations generally dominate the larger national universities, Ivy League schools, and prestigious private schools. High GPAs, beauty, wealth, sociability, family prominence, and contributions in service, clubs, and outstanding talent will serve the PNM in being pledged.

All three have chapters which have chapters which have closed, as does every sorority. This ‘‘Holy Trinity’ is not considered ‘top tier’ at all colleges. However, Greek men and women from 90 year old alums to high school students preparing for college know of their reputations, earned or not. They do have haters.

Opinions differ and their popularity isn’t always strong but they are recognized as universally top organizations. Some say ‘Unholy Trinity’ because as a whole, some consider the members to be elitist, snobby, mean, beauty oriented, shallow and cliquish within their own groups.

They may not always be congenial, but they do have the cachet and connections which will open many doors in the professional world .

I have consistently heard them confirmed as ‘top’ from traveling Greek-wear reps, composite salespersons, fraternity men, and other campus sources nationally. Many famous alumnae are members.

Pi Phi, Kappa & Theta don’t have the ‘hit or miss’ that is more prevalent with the other organizations. Tri Delta is also a top-tier sorority with very strong organization with an excellent reputation and whom I have always admired. They are very highly respected.

Some students just use the term PKT, for Pi Phi, Kappa, and Theta. To be seriously considered for membership, you need almost all of the following credentials:

1.Sterling recommendations from alums, a MUST.

2. A history of ‘proper’ extracurricular activities, with a high GPA

3. Being a ‘desirable’ legacy, white, rich, thin, confident,”

A top chapter at University of Whatsit might be bottom at Whatsit State U, therefore your copy and paste article claiming there are an elite three among the 26 NPC sororities, with great national reputations is fiction. What matters to a PNM is reputation, friendliness, and a sense of belonging on HER campus. No one is going to purposely join the lowest of the low just because they heard that they had a great national reputation, because that made up national reputation doesn’t make her time in college more enjoyable. In addition, if there were an elite 3 among NPC sororities, we would see PNMs wanting to join those three exclusively, and the low performing chapters of those 3, would shoot to the top, and they would have the top chapters on every campus. They don’t. But kudos for you for trying to convince folks that there is a national rep.

I have a different opinion as an “out of state” junior who is looking for internships. When I leave Louisiana, I have a different kind of network and different interactions/experiences because of my sorority. It may be mid/low here but it’s more respected at home. I’m not saying it makes a massive difference because it seriously doesn’t matter to anyone out of the university circle (current undergrads, very recent post-grads and like other interns etc. even cares at all) but there is a little bit more attention paid to certain bigger sororities that are well known outside of strictly sorority and college world.

That’s probably different for people who are from here and plan to stay here, or even people who go elsewhere, but that’s my individual experience.

Oh and one more thing I forgot to mention is that any sorority experience like dollars raised, volunteer hours completed, and positions held looks really good on a resume. It shows that we can work with others, we take time to do things outside of classwork, and we can commit to things (financially, time wise, and personally) and you don’t need specific letters to do those things.

i like my sorority even though it’s a “bottom”house because i still go to exchanges, grub, formal and have something to do every night that I wouldn’t have if I didn’t rush. I also still have a big and got like a big little week and everything so it hasn’t really mattered at all in the year I’ve been in it. I’d rather be in a house period than miss out on all the stuff we get to do.
