You should know better. Anytime anyone talks about APhi's awful grades and retention issues they change the subject and go on the offensive and call you names. It's pretty likely that they will go on a tirade about how you are a Zeta or an ADPi or that you don't go to school here. So since they won't give you a straight answer, I will. This is what is going on with Alpha Phi. They don't have grade cuts and take the girls that no one else will. There is only one criterion and that is that the girls they take have to be prettier than the average Sigma or PhiMu. Then once the girls pledge they get no support in the house to help them with their study skills, so their freshman are out there floundering around without any guidance. They already aren't very bright and their grades only get worse. So they drop out, flunk out or their parents realize their daughters are in a toxic environment and make them quit the house or come home. So they lose probably more girls than any other house and they have to keep COBing. The problem is that they take the same type of girl so the problem perpetuates itself and it becomes a huge sisterhood issue. Then they come on here and make fun of the Thetas and Adpi's of the world for whom grades are a priority. Or they overcompensate, get belligerant and try to convince us their house is better than it is. It's just sad that their national hasn't stepped in to solve the problem. They are in a downward spiral and, sadly, seem proud of it.

^^^ Harsh. But sadly accurate. ^^^

Poor GPA or not, their sisterhood is incredible and the girls are sweet as can be. Too bad certain other sororities feel the need to tear them down, I think that says more about you than them though.

Most sisterhoods on this campus are amazing. If Alpha Phi thinks they are the only house with a great sisterhood, well, that says more about them than the rest of us. And if Alpha Phi had such a great sisterhood, its members would do what they could to remain a part of it instead of flunking out, dropping out or just leaving. Smart girls can be nice to each other, too.

No one said other houses don't have good sisterhoods. This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about when I say you tear them down for NO REASON at all.

Right?! They say they are so sweet but yet are on here constantly bullying and attacking ADPI every chance they get (as well as other houses, it's kind of pathetic ) and then say they have an "Incredible" sisterhood, but houses with incredible sisterhoods don't have to COB. What a joke. Alpha phi is the biggest joke on this website. They just make fools of themselves by constantly spamming up this website.

Like YOU should be calling anyone mean, look at how you're talking! Takes a bitter person to know one except you only assume it's Alpha Phi. Just to clarify, people don't drop out of APhi it's almost always grades related so don't blame it on sisterhood...

Further proof that their sisterhood sucks. A true sister would make sure someone who is in trouble academically gets to class on time, finds a tutor or just studies with her. When one of your sisters is in trouble academically, you stay in with her and study when everyone else is partying. These clearly are concepts that elude Alpha Phi. Sisters don't let sister flunk out. If they truly cared about each other, there is NOTHING that would get between them.

It is literally impossible to help someone who doesn't care about academics and is just there to party. There is plenty of help for those who are genuinely struggling but the problem with a lot of alpha phi's is that they are stupid, they just aren't focused (there are plenty that are but truthfully, most girls who drop are dropping out of college as a whole.)

^^^ I wouldn't know about helping someone who doesn't care about academics because I don't know anyone like that. I also don't know anyone who is dropping out or flunking out. But thanks for the information, Alpha Phi. Good to know.

Oh BS, there are very bright girls who end up moving away from home and getting their priorities mixed up. The amount of rich girls who got straight As in HS and were head of this and that for extracurriculars, your perfect leader type student, that messed up their first year is endless, this happens in every house.

That's quite the rationalization. But it doesn't really happen in every house. You wouldn't believe how strict my house was about study hours and reporting grades. Sorry that concept eludes APhi. And what in the world does being rich have to do with anything?

SK and TriDelt did NOT COB in spring, according to PanHell stats. They had NO new members reporting grades in spring. It also is unlikely AXO COB'd because while they reported new member grades, that's because their initiation is second semester (as is ChiO's). At 13, Alpha Phi had to take more new members (COB'd) than any other house in spring. As others have mentioned, their grades are awful which means their retention is, too. They lose LOTS of girls who flunk out, drop out or return home because their parents don't think they can handle the freedom. Now, you were saying??????????

Tridelt did cob and are the most sketchy house when it comes to grades, this is well known .../

SK totally did COB. Girls were talking about it all semester. The only way that I can see the new members getting around the grade reports would be if they were initiated in the fall or something like that.

TriDelt didn't COB.

Logic? Yes! Let's put it to good use. EVERY house loses girls to early graduation (though it's far more likely in APhi's case that girls take LONGER to graduate). EVERY house loses girls to student teaching and going abroad. But it's Alpha Phi that continuously COBs to keep up their numbers. What's the difference? APhi loses MORE girls to leaving school, flunking out or not making grades. And I agree with the person who said a good sisterhood wouldn't let that happen.

Why do you hate them so much? People on campus actually tend to like them. What's your issue?

^everything about this! Fact is that a graduate with a 3.4 is going to be in the EXACT same position as a graduate with a 3.1 or even a 2.0... Unless you're in the top % of your class (3.7+) you will be in the exact same position. This means that, based on grades, our typical graduate in every single will be in the exact same position. If you want to mention internships, or job apps that require transcripts, again you will need higher than a 3.7 to get anything significant. Which is well above our average Greek student. So get over it, it's irrelevant.

Don't you have some numbers to add up or something in your high-powered Big 4 internship? You'd be better served actually becoming proficient at something because your rants about gpa's don't make much sense.

..... What?

Tridelt is notorious for messing with their grade reports and that's the truth, they get in sh it for it that's why they're so heat about it

There's no way to mis-report the number of new members you take. That's not allowed. Everyone knows Tri-Delt lies about grades or claim girls took a semester off to hide their bad grades but you can't hide an entire COB pledge class. It's not realistic.

You sure know how to damn with faint praise, don't you. Was your post in support of Alpha Phi or a rip job? And how do you know "all sororities at Mizzou will be suffering...because of the drama that brought the university down"? That remains to be seen, so keep your ill-informed, narrow-minded projections to yourself. Better yet, transfer.

You are a miserable individual. Side note, agree with most but APhi issss one of prettiest
