what makes axo and pm top?

did you just imply that zeta is top? lmao no

PM and AXO are considered the bottom of the bottom tier at most Universities, that is why both those sororities national chapters are on life support. I expect both these sororities to fold nationally within the next few years. It hilarious AXO and PM are thought highly at Alabama but most of that is from self ranking. If you had unbiased 3 rd party people from other schools both PM and AXO would end up more towards the bottom of the middle tier or top of the bottom tier. There is that old saying you can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig. Both are heavily native Alabaman and lets face it inbreeding has not. been kind to Alabamans

Phi Mu is undoubtably top. They take beautiful, smart, well rounded girls from all over, not just Alabama like KD and AGD. They have a high retention rate, they’re always a desired house during rush. Not to mention their physical house is absolutely gorgeous. AXO takes similar girls, however, they aren’t as talked about on campus. Always the smartest. I don’t look at them as much as I look at phi mu as an unquestionable top.

There isn’t any real difference between most of the houses at Bama except demographics. PM and AXO are ranked as “top” because they rank themselves constantly. I’m from Tn and no one from my hometown wants either of those house. Just sayin....

bump

The only reason you think they are top is because they are on here self-ranking enough that they have convinced you of it. The alumnae of those two houses patrol this site and pay to have posts deleted like crazy. Once you get on campus you’ll see. Every year every Old Row houses lose their top prospects to other Old Row houses. AXO and PM do not get all girls they want - they have to fight just as hard as everyone else for them. If you want to party AT ALL then AXO is NOT the house for you. If you want a low drama sisterhood where substance matters more than style, then Phi Mu is NOT the house for you.

All other Old Row houses are just as good. There really is only one tier for Old Row and they’re all in the same way. Difference is girls from one area think one or two houses are the elite ones and girls from another area thinks another house or two are top.

If you are lucky enough to get a bid from any Old Row sorority you are extremely lucky, smart, well-connected and have a stellar resume. And that’s not to say Old Row will be the right fit for you. There are plenty of girls that don’t like any of those houses during rush, and that’s completely fine. Pledge wherever you feel comfortable. Just don’t come back on here slamming Old Row because it wasn’t the right fit for you.
