top sororities nationally

ADPi is the best chapter nationally. Alpha Phi is behind them

Not sure what you've been reading to get that info, but this is not correct

Alpha Phi, you seriously need to CHILL. You are continuing to rub everyone in greek life the wrong way. And you wonder why so many people already dislike you.....

I think the order is arguable/tbh pretty impossible to make, but these are the top five, unquestionably. Add DG and DDD for the top 7.

As a recent alum of one of the five houses mentioned above, national "ranking" doesn't seem to matter all that much. I've made more friends in my city's Panhellenic association than my alum group.

And before someone goes off about networking, being part of a huge national hasn't helped. What helped me with job connections were older sisters in my chapter at uga and my honor society, which was the most helpful.

I recommend studying and doing well enough to join an honor society. That will definitely help.

Unless you've really visited a ton of schools you really can't pretend to know the answer to this, honestly. The girl who said ADPi is strong nationally? You are lost, they're very much middle of the boat. I can attest to this because I'm a part of my nationals recruitment team and have travelled all over North American campuses. I can tell you the OP is actually not totally off. APhi and ZTA by far have the most consistently "top tier" ranked chapters, no other sororities can compare to these two in consistency. It is very very rare that these houses are in the bottom tier, although frequently when it does occur it's in the south where more traditional houses tend to shine.

I would say top 5 would be
Alpha Phi
Zeta Theta Alpha
-large gap-
Pi Phi
Delta Gamma
ChiO or GPhi

Some of the LEAST consistent chapters would definitely be Tridelt and KKG - they're almost never middle tier, some very strong chapters but most are dead last bottom tier. Their nationals put all their eggs in their strongest chapters and let the rest fall apart. Consistently bottom tier include DPhiE, Phi Sigma Sigma, AOPi, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Gamma Delta, etc. While the houses that are almost always mid include ADPi, Phi Mu, KD, Kappa Alpha Theta, etc.

There is no such thing as a national reputation. If you're looking on greekrank for "top houses" and "weak houses" what you're going to find is which chapters do a lot of self ranking. A different thing all together.

Chi O and DG are the top 2 nationally. After that, it's pretty debatable, but even the top national sororities have chapters that struggle and the weaker/smaller national sororities will have some great chapters. So at the end of the day, who cares which sororities have the best national reputation when what really matters are the individual chapters at a specific school

This is TOTALLY subjective and there is no real way to rank top sororities (or fraternities for that matter). What do you use as criteria? Total number of chapters? Total number of members? Total money raised for national philanthropy each and every year? Total community service hours? Academic standing at various institutions of higher ed? Total square footage of chapter houses? Total number of beds in sorority housing? Campus involvement and number of campus leaders? Number of followers on all the various social media sites? Looks?

C'mon people - This is what matters - does the sorority make their members feel welcomed, loved, and supported and does the sorority strive to make their members better than who they were when they joined by providing values based opportunities to succeed. If all the sororities did this, then they would all be top in my book.

Let's build each other up and not tear each other down.

chi o is the largest chapter nationally, zeta being second largest. however, this does not make them the "best" chapters because there's literally 0 way to quantify that. even size is subjective, whether it be most chapters, most actives, or more total members.

since this is all opinion, it is MY opinion that Kappa is the "strongest" chapter nationally. my reasoning: they have strong chapters regardless of area (midwest, northeast, south, and west, not to mention having chapters in Canada which most NPCs do not). Additionally, they are something of a cultural icon in terms of greek life. It goes back to the "southern belle primer" series, and we still see it in tv and movies where the "hot" sorority is always the "Kappas". Kappa Kappa Tau in scream queens, Kappa Kappa Delta in friends, Kappa sorority in Sydney White - almost all cultural references to sororities are based after Kappa. The name recognition is what makes it the "strongest", because even people who aren't in greek life will know what you're talking about when you say the word Kappa. Obviously those depictions are so off of what greek life really is, but that's just my two cents.
