greek rank ranks vs. real life

by:    

On greek rank, the ranks typically look like this, which is stupid and not how it really works:
Delta
Chi O
Pi Phi
Kappa
Theta
Adpi
Gphi
Aphi
AXO
DG
KD
Zeta
Sigma Kappa
Phi Mu
Sigma

In real life, these are the most popular houses and if theyre on the same line, they are probably literally right on the exact same level of desirability during recruitment AND during the year combined, no if, ands or buts about it. This is it:
1.) PIPHI/DELTA/GPHI/KAPPA/CHIO/DG: they have their differences but they all have the most attractive members, the most fun, frats love them and their members are usually friends with each other. If you ended up in one of these houses, you probably couldve fit in with at least 2 or 3 of the other 5 as well.
2.) THETA/ADPI/APHI: Respected. not bad, you dont hear much about them but you definitely wouldnt mind being one of them.
3.) AXO/ZETA/KD: You really dont hear about them but they arent bad. just kind of there.
4.) PHI MU/SIGMA/SIGMA KAPPA: Youre in one of these because you just wanted to be Greek and have a sisterhood, which is totally fine.

This, my friends, is how greek life actually is.

Almost. But not quite. (In no order)

First round picks: Theta, chi o, delta, pi phi, kappa
Second round picks: adpi, dg, aphi, axo, gphi, zeta (yes people,
Zeta may be a bottom tier house but they always put on a good rush. The lose girls later in the semester)
Last round picks: kd, sigma, sk, phi mu

Reread the original post. This isn't about just recruitment. It's about popularity as a whole.

Gphi and dg definitely do not belong in the category. I would say the second category, but they aren't really respected either. Girls wouldn't mind being in either of those houses, but they're definitely not up there with our elite houses.

Actually they do. Like all the other houses on the first line, they have attractive members, are admired by frats and believe or not most pnms look for those qualities in their house so they do pretty well in recruitment. They fit in the top category with the other houses that are on that level with them.

I would think theta and adpi are more desired in recruitment. Tera has much much higher return rates than both those houses. I cut Gphi first round just as an example. I ended up in pi phi just so you don't think I'm trying to talk up theta or adpi, but dg and Gphi just are second round picks. My best friend wanted theta, pi phi, and kappa, but ended up in Gphi and while she is having a good time, it wasn't her first pick by any means.

That's Greek ranks problem. DG and gphi do belong up there because they are desired during recruitment and during the year by pnms and frats. I don't think this list was created based strictly on recruitment. I think this is pretty accurate if you know what real Greek life is all about and not some made up world of tiers on a website. The first line are the popular houses.

I don't think the OP is talking about who's most desired during recruitment, I think they're talking about during the year what sororities are most popular. For example theta is a great house and very desired during recruitment but during the year you never hear of them and frats don't really socialize with them. Nothing against theta, I don't even think they care about being that type of house, but the houses OP put in first round are different.

Gphi is pretty successful during rush. They typically get the girls THEY want. Just like theta.

Thanks for the attempted PR boost though DG. Nobody is buying it.

and of course theres always that one person that has to accuse some house of self promoting. get lost greek rank loser. this couldnt be more accurate to how the actual rankings work. DG is probably more popular than your house and you know it.

People on this site are really ranking sororities based on how attractive they are to fraternities? That's the measure of a sisterhood to you people? How much a bunch of immature frat boys like to hang our with a house? Really? That's funny, because I measure a sisterhood by how loyal and welcoming its members are, how helpful and supportive, how well-rounded, kind and concerned they are. Yeah, it's nice if guys think you're cool, but it's even better to surround yourself with women who have self-respect, high standards, a sense of humor and the kinds of goals that will make them into fine adult women. This isn't 1962, people. Women stopped judging themselves according to what men think of them a long time ago. Didn't you get the memo?

Well duh. That's why this list makes no sense. Gphi and DG are no where near respected, there's no way they would ever make that top category!

But you can't rank a sisterhood. Ever.

I don't think that is what the OP is saying. This is based off of recruitment and what pnms think. Sure WE know what gphi, DG, zta and KD are like and where they stack up but the pnms go off of what they see. The list she posted is accurate. Pnms want to join a house that has pretty, relatable girls that are popular amongst fraternities. All they want is acceptance when being thrown into such a large school.

Lets be honest here, recruitment is all a facade. It is a horrible system and too many quality girls fall through the cracks while the trolls get bids. Therefore, pnms are going to judge based off the recruitment how the house is, which isn't necessarily the same as how it would rank on this website.

YES spot on. This list is accurate because we all know, even if we dont want to admit it, that we want to be in a house that is liked by frats and envied by other sororities and yes DG and Gphi have those advantages along with the obvious pi phi, delta, kappa and chi o.

We also want to be in a house that gets along with the other popular houses. which makes the top tier according to the OP accurate. those houses listed all get along with each other really well and are really popular among fraternities. they understand they compete with each other but at the end of the day, they realize they all pretty much carry the same top girls.

Recruitment is just a façade? A horrible system? Only trolls get bids? Wow. You're entitled to your point of view, but I think the system works remarkably well. There are strict guidelines that the best houses use for recruiting new members and the girls they choose are far from trolls. They are the best of the best. A few girls may fall through the cracks, but they are by far the exception. As for houses being envied by other sororities, in what universe to people envy DGs? Again, you are entitled to your opinion, but you really have a skewed perception of how things really are.

On what planet does DG recruit the same girls as the top tier? Not this one. DG recruits with the THETA/ADPI/APHI group. The same sort of girls rush Theta and ADPi and APhi and DG rush the same sort of girls. DG is more sought out than the last two categories but they are not on par with the top tier. Nope. Nope. Nope.

By: No.
by: Mhhgjk   

Again, this is not all about recruitment. Only slightly. While DG recruits probably more with the second category, they are great with frats and get along best with the top category. They have that popularity factor.

Except they're not popular with frats, or other sororities for that matter. They used to be, but in the past 5 years with scandals and hazing, it's really effected their pcs and their popularity among Greek town. I think this was the first year they stayed out of trouble in a long time. The majority of people I know would rank them the last house in low mid tier. That's in real life, not on this site or on this dumb post. To claim dog is one of our most popular houses is erroneous. There's absolutely no truth to that. Are they getting better? Sure. But they probably fall in your category 3, maybe 2 depending who you ask. I don't know a single person, frat or sorority member that would ever agree that dg is one of our best houses all around.

the one correction that needs to be made to this post is on DG, they belong in the the second category. DG just doesnt run mizzou like the first category does. Everything else is right. aside from the few girls in DG that are attractive and are friends with members of the first category and are popular with frats, the majority are just not. The older girls are still promising but the past two PCs are just no.
