poll: most selective sorority in the u.s.?

You are actually high. I'm not even a fan of alpha phi here but being from Ohio, I can tell you they are HUGE outside of the south. I'd actually say that they are the single most popular sorority outside of the Deep South. KKG being a close second. They are top in every northeast state, Midwest state, and west state. I'm pretty sure they also have good chapters in places like Virginia.

It's funny how some of you girls think that your top tier criteria should be everyone's top tier criteria though. APhi, XO, DDD, DG, KKG, and Pi Phi have the highest number of top tier chapters BY FAR. I think this rank was spot on.

@Lol you're wrong.

APhi and Pi Phi are exactly where they should be. APhi, KKG, and Pi Phi definitely have the most top tier chapters in the nation. XO and DDD are definitely up there with them too.

@nope you are literally stupid. Have you ever left the state of Alabama?

Bump

Also from VA. DDD, DG, and APhi are consistently good at UVA and VT. KKG and Theta are good at UVA but not VT, KD is good at VT but not at UVA. Best overall in VA is probably DDD.

I'm from NY and APhi is definitely top at Cuse, my sister goes there and is a DDD. They aren't top top but they're top 4. Greek rank may not reflect that, but its kind of like people here all the sudden saying KKG isn't top tier. They are top tier. So dumb.

Alpha chapters for sororities are kind of irrelevant anyway because ranks change (especially since 1872 when APhi was founded!) or the school is too small to matter. KKG and Pi Phi have alpha chapters at Monmouth College where there's literally 3 sororities. AGD and GPhi where also founded at Syracuse, and AGD is bottom and GPhi is middle there. Ranks change! Good for them for not caring about how old sororities are. DDD was founded at Boston U and they are absolute bottom there. Alpha chapters are definitely more relevant for fraternities. Literallly every sorority has stronger chapters than their alpha chapter.

I mean yeah I agree with what you're saying. I'm not saying that APhi isn't top tier necessarily, but they more or less have their own tier. Their 17 pledge class was the smallest out of every sorority, so that does allude to its exclusivity. What I was getting at as far as alpha chapters is concerned was that you'd think with such a high national reputation/presence combined with the other factors that make APhi a higher sorority at Cuse, it would be in the same exact tier as TriDelta, DG and Kappa.

Not necessarily. By that logic DDD should still be top at Boston. Sometimes chapters get put on probation, or even start thinking too highly of themselves and get too "comfortable" (@ KD) and other houses start to push past them because they continue to work harder and change with time. I'm not sure exactly what happened to APhi at Cuse but I wouldn't be surprised if they got too comfortable and thought "we're APhi, we don't even need to try during rush". It's sad that some chapters take this attitude but it happens for a few chapters in almost every sorority at some point.

Theta's also top at many, many big schools all across the country. Very big, popular chapters on the West and East coast, in the midwest and in the south.

There's also like...maybe 3 houses at most Ivy League schools. Theta is big in Texas and Oklahoma, but not as popular as Pi Phi is. They're okay out west. They have a good chapter at UCLA. They're top at a lot of northeast schools (UConn, Cornell, UPenn, UMD) along with APhi and KKG. Midwest is heavily APhi and KKG, some Pi Phi. Theta is good at Illinois and Nebraska.

Ok I went on their greek rank pages and you actually seem to know your stuff. If you're bored I'd be interested to know more about all the sororities and where they have strong chapters!

AXO has some strong chapters sprinkled around different regions. They are not particularly popular on the east coast.
They have top chapters at: Alabama, Michigan, Michigan State, Illinois, Arizona State, Oregon State, and Lehigh.

ADPi is strong in the south but that's about it.
They have top chapters at: Florida, UGA, Kentucky, South Carolina, Auburn, UNC, and Clemson

AGD is smaller and has a few strong chapters in the South and out West.
They have top chapters at: Auburn and Oregon State.

AOPi is not particularly popular anywhere. The only top chapter I could find was Lehigh.

APhi is extremely popular everywhere EXCEPT the deep southeast.
They have top chapters at: Virginia Tech, UVA, Kentucky, Syracuse, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Purdue, Boston U, UConn, Cornell, Arizona, Arizona State, UC Boulder, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, West Virginia, and lots more that are in the same regions.

XO is mostly popular in the South and in places liked Texas and Kansas, but they have a few top chapters in other places.
They have top chapters at: Kentucky, Mizzou, Alabama, UArk, Auburn, LSU, MSU, UNC, Clemson, Indiana, Michigan State, UC Boulder, Oregon, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, TCU, and Texas.

DDD is popular on the east coast and in states like Texas and Oklahoma.

DZ has a few top chapters around the nation.
They have top chapters at: Tennessee, LSU, Louisville, Northeastern, Arizona State, and Iowa State.

GPhi is not popular on the east coast but have some good chapters in the midwest.

Theta is strong in Texas, the Northeast, and some western states.
They are top at: UGA, Kentucky, UVA, Maryland, Illinois, Nebraska, UConn, Cornell, UPenn, UCLA, Stanford, Baylor, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and SMU.

KD is strong in the South and that's pretty much it. They're almost non-existent out west.
They are top at: Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, FSU, UNC, Virginia Tech, Louisville, Maryland, and Penn State.

KKG is popular everywhere but lacks a little in the South compared to other regions.
They have top chapters at: UGA, Alabama, Arkansas, A&M, Clemson, UVA, Syracuse, Duke, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Iowa, Minnesota, Purdue, Wisconsin, UMass Amherst, Cornell, UCLA, Berkeley, Southern Cal, Stanford, Kansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, West Virginia, SMU, and a lot more just like APhi.

Pi Phi is a lot like KKG in that they're popular everywhere but not as much in the Southeast.
They have top chapters at: Arkansas, Mizzou, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Iowa, Minnesota, Purdue, Arizona, Arizona State, Berkeley, UC Boulder, Oregon, Southern Cal, Washington, Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas Tech, Texas, SMU, and a lot of other places.

Phi Mu is a lot like KD in that they pretty much only exist in the Southeast.
They have top chapters at: UGA, Tennessee, Alabama, Auburn, and LSU.

ZTA is like Phi Mu and KD. Pretty popular in the Southeast but not so much in other regions.
They have top chapters at: Florida, South Carolina, A&M, FSU, Clemson, TCU, and Texas Tech.
