top tier

both are expensive (have expensive nationals as well as expensive houses to keep up with) so they generally attract the wealthier girls on campus. You wouldn't be able to just obviously tell, but I know a lot of chi os and kappas are legacies of their houses and their mothers dump a lot of money into their old chapters. However, chi o generally attracts a little bit quirkier of girls. Funny, entertaining, smart and competitive. Kappas girls are similar. Generally considered more attractive than chi o and "well rounded." Kappa is a mix of Pi phi, chi o and theta. Chi o is an entity of its own. Basically.

TriDelt, ChiO, PiPhi, Theta and ADPi all attract girls who are very smart and self-assured. Each of these houses has their own identity, however, and a "type" so to speak. So while they are made up of high-achievers, they aren't all alike. Those are the houses that pretty much get their pick of girls and are very selective. I would say the next tier includes DG, Kappa and AXO. These girls certainly have a lot going for them, but most of their pledge classes are made up of women who preffed another house first. These three don't have very strong identities but their sisterhoods are just as good as the top five. That's why these three are sometimes called "wannabe" houses because they wanted to be something else, but don't be fooled. They are strong houses and any PNM should be proud to be a member. Then you have GPhi, APhi and the rest. These houses are not nearly as selective and don't focus much on grades, but everyone can find a niche and it doesn't matter what the house is known for as long as you think you would feel comfortable there. Oh, and to the previous poster: no one thinks Kappa is ahead of ChiO, and no one things Kappa is a mix of PiPhi, ChiO and Theta, though Kappas often wish they were.

I can assure "Wellllllllll" nobody thinks ADPi and Theta are above Kappa. I mean come on.

Thanks, Kappa.

I see Kappa hater is back. We were all pretty sure you would have flunked out by now. But I see you are alive and well.

She always seems to arrive right after the Kappa Krazy strikes. Like clockwork.

Ok what's an adpi? Like I cut them first during recruitment. No one knows they exist and I've never seen a guy in that house.

What did you love about each one?

I cut Chi-O & ADPi immediately because the so called "girls" who spoke with me looked like men and scared me. I have many friends in PiPhi, GPhi & Delta and disagree that they only put the "pretty girls" in their tumblers. Everyone at MU knows these houses attract exceptionally beautiful girls. I'm in another so called "top house" (because my Mom was) but find myself always defending these sororities - they are fun, gorgeous, smart and athletic. I'm living in an apartment w/a PiPhi & GPhi next year!

I cut Pi Phi because they seemed "stuffy". I cut Tri Delt because they seemed "prissy" and I cut GPhi because of the overdone makeup and hair SOOOOO many girls seemed to have. I was looking for a house more down to earth and I got it!
