there is no rank

by: Grow up people

Do not put a rank system in your head! I did and dropped because I didn't get the house I wanted...now I regret dropping because the house that was so warm, welcoming, and friendly and would've picked me was the house for me! I just didn't see it because of the stupid rank system I put in my head!
I was also being ungrateful because a lot of girls got dropped from all houses and here I was complaining because I didn't get the house I wanted
Don't do what I did....go into every house with an open mind! Give the house that you end up with a chance...or you may regret it...and it feels awful
When they say you get the house you're meant to be with, THEY AREN'T KIDDING!

Amen to that like seriously ranking and reputations change vet time just because the house you get might be in the prom when you join doesn't mean that you and you're sisters can't totally turn things around in the years you're in it and make it's ranking go up!

And just because you hear that a house is in the bottom or the top doesn't mean they are in the bottom or top....it doesn't mean squat....it is just someone's opinion....and it's 100% personal

If you put a rank system in your head then you're not going to have the best time during recruitment.

So if I only have ADPI on bid day I should give them a chance?

Honestly it's so dumb how people keep ranking them last when they are nothing but nice to everyone else.
Each house is different and unique. You will find the right house for you. Ignore what others say. When you're going through recruitment it's about you. Go with you gut feeling, don't let others change your mind. Everyone has their own opinion. Trust me I put the STUPID rank system in my head and look at where I am now...I dropped because of the rank system I had in my head...and I regret it so badly.
You'd be lucky if you got a bid because there were tons of girls crying because they got dropped from ALL houses. Some of them would get called in the morning while they were getting ready to go to recruitment that they have been cut from all houses.

I would! Being in a sorority is a lot of fun and you will find your group of friends...something every house can offer and something everyone wants! Why miss out?

Yea hard to use sarcasm on the internet :P

Seriously I've found that many girls go in, put their best foot forward for the groups they "think" they want, based on preconceived notions, then find out 3 weeks into it that it's not right for them.

I've heard ADPI, KD, this group or that group is 'leftovers' the problem with that is that they, like all the others, put their bid lists up, it's not a question of being a leftover, it's the fact that the others thought you wouldn't fit in with them and the those "bottom" tiers thought you would.

If you want until the next year you are lowering your chances of even getting a bid, if you're a freshmen great! Even sophomores have a pretty good chance however it's more competitive. They want more freshmen. If you can't financialy do it the first year they will take that into account.
That being said its also never to late to go Greek. If you are yourself then they will like you for your honesty.

If you got a bid from a house and decided not to join yet you still can. Actually, when you receive a bid you are bound to that sorority for 1 year and there's no getting out of it. So, you should reconsider and go ahead and a least give to a try, I would. What do you have to lose, meeting great girls and having fun? AND for that one year you cannot snap bid or do anything like spring recruitment with any other sorority if there's an opening elsewhere. All you can do is wait until formal recruitment next year after the 1 year time is up and try again. Chances are formal recruitment isn't going to be any better the 2nd time around. Go have fun!!! Being Greek is way more fun than not being Greek, you'll meet the most amazing girls in any house.

Also, some girls will act snobby to "bottom tier" sororities because of preconceived notions. They end up getting cut from bottom houses because they were rude and got low personality scores. It's not that the bottom houses get leftovers. It's that the bottom houses cut the girls the top houses took. That's also how they get some of the friendliest girls on campus. They may not be from "top" zip codes, but there are plenty of sweet, attractive, well-rounded girls in those groups. Just because you don't get a top-tier sorority doesn't mean you will be shunned. I was in a "bottom-tier" and I hung out with people in all groups. It is what you make of it.

Don't let financial obligations get it the way. I know it's scary but they are willing to work with you. We aren't as fortunate so we have to pay on our own. The don't want money to be a reason why you won't join.

Like the other poster said just because you get a bid from a "bottom tier" house it doesn't mean you aren't an amazing person you will find your people and reps really don't matter in the long run an you and your new sisters can help turn that bottom ranking around while you're in it you never know you guys could be middle or even top teir once you're a senior but honestly it's about the RELATIONSHIPS you have with the girls in that house not their perceived reputation
Sororities aren't just for 4 years they're for life so find the house that fits you best and screw what anyone else has to say about it it's your life and your happiness!

So true. I hate to rank again, but to give you an idea of how things change, these were the rough rankings ten years ago (back then everything was on fratty.net. And yes, I know I'm old but a relative rushed this year and it made me curious.):

Tri-Delt/Kappa
Chi-O/Theta
PiPhi/Zeta
AXO/DG/KD
DZ/Gamma Phi
ADPi

On another note, I will say I absolutely hated DG when I was there but I am going to give credit where its due. They made a big push to be picky and put their name everywhere, and while it did take a few years and was super annoying and came off as trying to hard, it obviously worked. This should be a lesson to other sororities.
