old row prestige
by: uga"Old Row" is supposed to be more "prestigious" than the rest, but what exactly does "prestigious" mean?

It's harder to get in because you have to have an in. All of the girls know each other and are predominately from private schools. This also means that they have a lot of money. Generally their moms were old row too, which plays into the old money, old row concept.

This is accurate. However that doesn't make them the best chapters for a competitive pnm to join. The same prestige that makes them stand out also causes them to take some awkward legacies, or girls with bad reputations but happen to have a bff in the chapter. Phi Mu, Theta, and Chi O especially have a decent number of girls who got cut from most other houses but ended up in old row simply due to legacy status, money, or connections.

The connections these sororities have is the female equivalent to the "old boy network" with fraternities. They take care of their own. Old row mommas lose their minds when their legacies get cut, and most of the time, old row legacies don't get cut. Of course there are exceptions, but old row fraternities and sororities keep it exclusive by keeping it in the family.

I'm in an "old row" sorority and I actually agree with most of Yep's comment. We already have a pretty good idea of what PNMs we want in the fall. So even though we'll end up with a few random PNMs that we really like during recruitment, I would honestly recommend to all PNMs that if you don't have a pretty good idea of where you'll end up before recruitment, don't make it a goal to get a bid for "old row." We don't take many girls who don't have good connections. Top tier quality PNMs can be really happy in any chapter, but if you focus on a certain house without connections there, you're more likely to be disappointed or get a bid somewhere completely unexpected. Old row is prestigious for sure, but other sororities still have just as much to offer.

Also, I know it's nerve racking, but just try and have a decent convo w the girl you most likely won't get cut
