ranks after homecoming

What happened there? Thought they'd do better since they're on the rise.

Agree with this completely, phi MU deserves at least top end of bottom tier

Stop trying to make adpi happen. It's not going to happen. Kappa is forever a more popular house.

Much much better ranking, phi mu and KD deserve those new spots after hoco, and ADpi proved themselves as well

Except AXO above A Phi and GPhi above KD, which I hope changes soon. But I'm glad someone agrees that DG is bottom tier. I personally think G Phi is headed that way too if these scandals keep coming up and they recruit the same PCs.

I don't get it. People say insulting things all of the time when houses don't do well at things like house decs, a skit and a float. So why in the world would their stock not rise when they DO do well? Every house has a philanthropy that is pre-determined by nationals. Some are great fun, some are quiet. There is no reason to judge a house on philanthropies because they are so different. As for sisterhoods, who are we to judge since we aren't a part of it. And there isn't a sorority on this campus that just gets wasted at frats. Do you even go here???????

You must be talking about those houses like it's 2007 or something. Axo is nothing like KD anymore. Ask KD. Axo recruits with aphi, DG, and zeta. KD recruits with phi mu and sigma now. That tells me that there is a huge difference in how these houses "look"

Totally agree. Mizzou has one of the worst drop-out rates for PNMs of any school with a large greek system. Compare us to other SEC schools and it's embarrassing how many women choose not to be greek rather than join a house that they think is "beneath" them. Where do you think these ideas come from?? It's the active members who are perpetuating this, and it's just not healthy for a strong greek system.

While Mizzou is very selective, it does NOT have one of the highest dropout rates in the SEC. And what possible concern could it be of anyone else whether someone opts to drop out instead of joining a sorority where they don't feel comfortable? We have an EXTREMELY healthy Greek system. So stop spreading lies and half-truths.

Only 70% of women at Mizzou who register for recruitment end up in a house. Almost all of the 30% are women who choose to drop out even though they could have gotten a bid if they stuck with it.

South Carolina is 86%. Georgia 82%. TX A&M is 82%. Auburn is 92%.

Sorry for being honest. I love this school, but it does us all a disservice to sugar coat things. It's a concern because the "uncomfortable" feelings are often a product of the kind of snobbery and cattiness that is rampant on this site. PNMs see us tearing each other down here, they hear the rumors spread by actives when they do campus tours and get to campus in the fall, and they drop out.

The system isn't broken, but it has SO MUCH room for improvement. Denying that doesn't change the facts.

I don't want to say you are a moron, but you are a moron. There are 15 sororities. there are 2,000+ girls going through rush. If each pledge class has 100 members, that's 1,500 girls who join a house. That means there isn't room for at least 25% of the people who go through rush. So 30% drop out. That means only 5% could have gotten into a house but opted to drop out. The other 25% wouldn't have gotten into a house, but not by choice, if they had stayed. Do you get it, or is it too complicated?

Retention is GREAT at MIZZOU. If women stay in the process and don't receive a bid it's THEIR fault because that means they single intentionally preffed. If PNMs weren't so narrow-minded about joining certain chapters (probably due to the ridiculous rankings on this website) then placement rates would be higher.

But to be fair, if you lack the character and integrity to make your OWN decisions about pledging to a lifetime commitment then you don't belong in a greek house. Women of character pledge a sorority because they realize they define their letters. The letters don't define them. If a woman is going to be disappointed based on what a website says that she lacks independence, intelligence and self-confidence and esteem. While women shouldn't ever bash other chapters, I also had enough integrity to go where I felt like people cared about me. I joined a "bottom tier chapter." I CHOSE them over "better" sororities. Ya know why, because I knew what mattered. I don't need to join for "status" because that's not what I needed in life. I brought pride and leadership to my chapter. I never regretted joining my "bottom tier" chapter because I knew it was other people that sucked, not the fabulous women in that chapter. If you are so easily manipulated by a gossip site then by all means go join the "top" organizations because all you care about is having "hot sisters" to make you feel validated in life. Let's hear it for the women who at 18, know what actually matters in life and join the RIGHT chapters for the RIGHT reasons and deal with crap from other people for it. They are five times the woman who let a website dictate her recruitment choices.

I think we all know who the psycho houses are. They're the ones who are obsessed with commenting the instant someone says something negative about their house. For awhile it was AXO, then Zeta. Now it's Kappa. They aren't doing themselves, or their houses, a favor. The truly top houses don't give an F what people say on this site, good or bad.

It's not like SK or ZTA epitomizes consistency either. Where have they been in comps? Like the majority of people on here, I also think both houses deserve to be top of bottom or kd bottom of middle. You call it a fluke year and I call it two houses working their asses off with pairings who liked them

KD has always placed in competitions and has always been in bottom tier. Why should we bump them to middle tier just because they placed again? Exactly. We shouldn't. Especially since they hae the worst looking PC 2 years running. If that doesn't scream bottom tier I dunno what does!

Three years ago they were the same house as AXO. Girls literally couldn't tell the two apart. Just because AXO has moved up does not mean KD gets shoved to the bottom. KD is the bottom of the middle tier, but they ARE middle tier.
