where do the popular girls go?

Or popular for having a fun outgoing and charismatic personality honestly.

The best houses have more than their share of popular girls, but you have to have more than that to get into them. PiPhi, ChiO, TriDelt, Theta, Kappa and even ADPi have loads of popular girls. But they also were academic standouts, were elected to leadership positions, were stellar athletes or artists or musicians or whatever -- and most are attractive, too. If you are talking about the houses that have girls who were only popular without much substance to back that up, then you're talking about GPhi, DG, Zeta and APhi. There are lots of reasons girls are popular, and it's not just because of hair, clothes, tans and a willingness to put out.

Oh please ADPis and Kappas were NOT popular in high school lmao

Popular might mean being elected student body president or as head of the AFS talent show. It doesn't just mean dating random guys and talking about hair and clothes. So, yes, Kappas and ADPis have plenty of popular girls.

Let's be honest here. There was a big change last year as a certain house or two wanted to change their 'image' and some of the sporadic recruiting of the past few years took it's toll. Some of those 'pretty' girls with 'substance' 'good grades' and 'leadership positions' went to other houses. IF new member gpa's were posted for the entire year, it would be apparent that some houses pulled their typical type but more of those girls carried stellar resumes. Obviously, that would not be apparent just yet in 'whole house' gpa's. So basically, the bottom line is-and this is important-GO WITH THE HOUSE YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH. There will be popular, smart girls in every house. Some of the houses people considered 'popular' without the grades proved to end up quite differently with the fall pledge class. There are still the couple houses that take leftover pretty or decent girls that don't have the personality or grades, and until they decide on the type of girl they want to recruit, they will remain at the bottom of the barrel with grades. But that might be the house for you-go where you feel comfortable.

It wold be rather sad if someone joined a house with the hopes of being considered popular. This isn't high school. This isn't the lunch table.

ADPis are far from sweet. I was PC 2015 and it went like this.
Popular girls: Gphi, Pi Phi, APhi, DG
Wild girls: everywhere, surprising amount in Theta but most went Zeta
Mean girls: ADPi, Tridelt, SK, DG
Sweet girls: AXO, Phi Mu

This is most likely a St. Louis school
Doesn't pertain to OOS
I've seen cool popular pretty OOS girls go to the mid tiers, and not so attractive go Tri delt
Rest go to bottom if bad grades, or kappa if smart

Tridelt is purely unattractive these days

Ha! If the 'popular' girls from your school went to the ancient top tier houses at Mizzou either you meant to write Recruitment 2005 or your high school had 3 popular girls. You are SO far off it's too comical to even try to debate hahahhha
