let's talk about the top 3

by: ?/?/?/

There seem to be three houses that are indisputably Top 3: TriDelta, PiPhi and ChiO (in no particular order). These houses get the girls they want, have extremely high retention and set an exemplary standard. But each is different and has its own identity. So how do you think they rose to the top. And what do the next tier (Theta, ADPi etc.) have to do to get there?

Houses only get those who want to be in their houses. Don't forget that.

To me the difference was confidence. When I went into those houses last year during rush there was a different vibe. The girls were interesting, the conversation flowed, the physical houses (esp. PiPhi) were amazing and the members seemed really comfortable. Simply put, I wanted to be like them. I wound up in a middle tier house and am happy where I am, but the OP is right. There is something different about the Big Three.

I also felt a pretty big air of confidence in gphi, theta, kappa and adpi. I felt no more confidence in your so called "big 3" that I didn't feel in the other aforementioned houses. So just because you probably stalked this website and MADE yourself THINK you felt some weird superiority in these houses, anyone with an independent conscience felt that with the other four houses that everyone tries to get on their 7 party day. I know for a fact the big 7 (pi phi, kappa, tri delt, adpi, theta, chi o and gphi) have 90% return rates up until pref day when ALL those houses return rates take a significant drop. So I honestly can't even remotely agree with you. You sound pathetic and I pity you for thinking so highly of these 3 houses. They struggle just as much as the other four to keep the girls they love. So don't act like they are so superior. Just because they cut you doesn't mean they cut everyone else...

I'm in one of the aforementioned houses and while I proudly wear my letters, there are many people in my pledge class who did not pref our house first. My roommate is a ChiO and she said every person she knows in her pledge class listed ChiO as #1. I'm just saying...

Ya I'm a DG and everyone in MY pledge class said they preffed DG first and that's not true. If you honestly believe every girl in chi O preffed chi o first and every girl in tri delt preffed tri delt first and every girl in pi phi preffed pi phi first then you are a legitimate retard. And if you honestly believe pi phi didn't lose girls they wanted to kappa and chi o didn't lose girls they wanted to theta and tri delt didn't lose girls they wanted to gphi then you are brain dead. That's literally just not how this wonderful Greek system works. It's competitive. It's fun too, because we have SO MANY houses on a level playing field. Girls cut houses you'd be surprised they cut. Not every girl goes into rush thinking pi phi, chi o and tri delt are top. And not every girl wants to be them. If you can't get that through your head, good luck in life. Because the world is more competitive than that.

Of course girls are gonna say every girl in their class preffed the house they're in first. Most girls aren't comfortable being outright about being rejected from their first preffed house. You can't just take people's word for it when it comes to something that easy to lie about. The only proof you'll have that every girl preffed the house they're in first is in the confidential hands of PHA.

top 3 because:

boys like them, they party, they get good grades, they get good pairings, they do well in comps (For the most part, lookin at u tridelt), and theyre hot.

WHAT are you people? Why are you so pathetic? You are such high schoolers. NOBODY thinks there's a top three. NOBODY. There are 7 houses that are like on the brink of each other. They outrush each other some years. SO MANY girls never walked into these houses and felt "swagger." Whoever the pi phi, chi o or tri delt is that is sitting behind her screen self praising her house, STOP. That is not healthy and reality doesn't work that way. It's absolutely ridiculous. STOP SELF PROMOTING YOUR HOUSES. I can tell you my entire house and my boyfriends entire fraternity would not agree with your undisputed top 3! Tri delt is the ONLY house I would call top 3. Because they rush decent, are usually very nice, have pretty girls, have decent grades and at least put for some effort in comps. And that's the ONLY reason.

tri delt is not top three by any means. did you see their homecoming skit a few years ago? freaking embarrassing. They don't win things. they just rely on their good looks. not good.

So I am in a so called "bottom tier" house and maybe you would want to hear my opinions on this. My mother was a Tri Delta here, and I have so many friends in that house and maybe I am a little biased but I would definitely put them in the top 3. Also, I would put Chi O up there too, because they seem so proud of their sisterhood and they do amazingly well in grades and comps. Pi Phi would not make the list, when have you ever placed? Your girls are VERY hit or miss, but you have a pretty house but thats about it, sorry. I think the last slot would be for Theta- I can see how much hate they have been getting but hell they are very successful with grades, and their partners seem to like them so yeah. Just a different perspective.

And you're a theta..... Clearly. Because you know full well frats typically never pref you first. If they wanna win competitions? They pref chi o and kappa because their girls are hotter. They wanna get laid? They pref gphi, tridelt or DG. They just wanna take it easy one year and relax? Pi phi. Just the way it goes. Unless you have preconceived plans to pair with a fraternity, none of them want your house. And you win stuff too, so that's really embarrassing.

^^^^^So here we have yet another enlightened sorority member who judges the worth of a house according to how hot guys think it is. It's 2014, sweetie, not 1957. Have a little respect for yourself. If what a bunch of douche, pimply sorority bros think of you is first and foremost on your mind, well, that's just sad.

Most people don't care if theta cuts them. That's the problem.

They got there in their own minds. Many girls do not relate to those houses.

Quite simply, they rose to the top because they got the best girls. During rush, most girls want to go back to those houses (yes, there are a few exceptions, but the percentage of girls who want to return to ChiO, Delta and PiPhi is off the charts), so they get to hand pick who makes the cut. Day after day after day. When all is said and done, they are choosing from the best girls and so are the most selective houses. No wonder they ooze confidence. It's not that difficult to figure out. Simply put, they don't have to settle.

You can literally say the same about adpi, theta, gphi and kappa. Like you're not winning here. You're not. We know you're a tri delt or a pi phi or a chi o. But you are literally making all this up in your head. You DONT actually have your pick of girls. The only one I would argue has more than a 70% return rate on pref day is tri delt. And not by much. After how many girls I've heard say so many people thought pi phi was uncomfortable and chi o was over the top... There's no possible way. And the girls saying that were HIGHLY sought after. I'm sorry but just STOP making yourselves feel so superior. You're not.

Then you don't know kappa very well. Do some research. Get to know more. Don't just meet one or two girls in a house and say "I've never met a hot one."

Only an insecure Kappa would reply to a taunt like that. "But we ARE hot. We REALLY REALLY are Hot. Really. Trust me. We're hot."

There really isn't a TOP THREE. There's more like a TOP EIGHT.
In no certain order:
Theta, Pi Phi, Chi O, Tri Delt, Kappa, ADPi, Gamma Phi, DG
