moving up in rankings???
by: confusedokay, so is it possible for sororities to move up in rankings because it seems like everyone thinks it's pretty set and stone? for example, if AGD got one of the hottest pledge classes on Milledge would they move up into the middle tier? or if Pi Phi's social calendar included Fiji, Sigma Chi, ATO, AEPi, and SNU would they move into the lower top bracket? I'm really just confused how sororities are supposed to change places if people say "old row" will always be top....

Old row will not always necessarily be top. Chi O is evidence of that. Also, there are girls every year that choose new row houses like ZTA & KD over old row houses.
Now that that's out of the way, yes, it's possible for houses to move up, but it can be hard. Fraternities and sororities are only given so many socials per semester, and they tend to keep the same houses their calendars. UNLESS, they realize another house has gotten better, and they replace one of the frats/sororitys they socialize with with another house.
So how to fraternities and sororities typically do this? Usually, looks.
So yes, if AGD got the hottest PC on Milledge, which is unlikely, they would easily move up. However, AGD is generally a lower middle sorority (they have decent frats on their calendar), so they will probably get a pretty pledge class at least. There are very pretty girls in AGD, but they will probably stay at lower middle until APhi comes to campus. Then, they have potential to move up.
As far as Pi Phi goes, they already have a great social calendar. People act like Pi phi is lower than they are (honestly same with DZ & Gamma Phi). However, in order for them to get the frats you mentioned, those frats would have to drop other sororities, which is POSSIBLE. I don't want to pick on chi o, but if they were to keep falling like they are, Pi phi could easily replace chi o on "good" frats calendars. Pi phi doesn't have a huge presence on campus, but they're really fun girls and pretty too

It's possible - if a house gets better PNMs and better socials, they will definitely move up. The problem is that PNMs don't have an open mind and tend base how they rank on pref day off of stuff on this site or stuff they have heard people say. For example, if a pnm prefs at DG, AGD, and DG, 9 times out of 10, she will rank DZ first, then AGD, then DG. Even if she had a better connection with DG or AGD, she's unlikely to put them above a sorority that she has always heard is ranked higher. It's hard for PNMs to really gauge their connection with most houses over one week of recruitment that is basically the same at every house, so they tend to rank based on reputation. Because of this, it's really hard for lower ranked sororities to move up, even if they do everything right during recruitment.
This is why people always tell PNMs to really have an open mind. Don't count out a sorority just because you've heard they're bottom tier.
