Just like Lambda Chis for guys. Didn't find your school?Request for your school to be featured on GreekRank. These [] I think you are right on about all of them to a large degree.

Its obvious that the woman who wrote this didn't like this group because she (or he) mentioned about a hundred times how "Fake" or "Plastic" , etc. such websites are not going to give you any information to work with when selecting (or dropping) a sorority.

In fact, today, someone I know is driving out of town to visit a sorority sister from twenty three years ago. Rest pretty accurate. Kappa: Like Pi Phi and Theta, usually wealthy girls. I agree with a Samantha, that the author seems to be harshest on Pi Beta Phi and fawns over the Kappas. I'd say Chi O is more top tier and Pi Phi is universal top tier. Most girls have a connection to get in here and usually have been told they will be a Pi Phi before rush week begins. Kappa Kappa Gamma seems to be falling in their ranking some due to their wild, "substance' use, and 'easy' dating habits. Very nice/smart girls. Nevertheless, recruiting in this fashion does attract beautiful girls. AXis PC is a lot prettier than ADPi, KD, and DGs pledge class from what Ive seen. axid will always be bottom, nuf said. Whatever you read here should probably be ignored. They used to be seen as a step above KD and ADPi, but theyve been slipping with their PCs over the last few years. Take Pi Phi, for instance it says they have a reputation for being a fake (and reputation does not equal reality), but check out this quote: "Many consider them to be obsessed with their looks, and have body image issues. AXiD had a great rush this year, but they have definitely not surpassed KD and ADPi by ANY means. They may not talk to you, because they are not suppose to, but they are watching YOUR behavior.

If you are coming to UT really raw, meaning no greek connections what so ever, you have a very large uphill battle. Carolee Samuda from Jamaica on June 23, 2011: Wow, all I knew about sororities before was from movies. Greek Chat is a pretty good source of information. Not a scene I would ever want to be involved in. My fear is that rather than focusing on things you can control (conversation skills, brushing up your resume, getting recs in order, rush wardrobe, grooming) you are looking for something that quite frankly, you are going to have very little control over at all.

Go to greekchat.com, search for UT threads and READ the advice provided. Pi Beta Phi is known as Pi Bitchy Phi and is the recognitized,as far and above,'The Top' sorority on my huge Greek-led campus. Those who say that AXiD will always be bottom don't have their eyes open on this one. Zeta only cares about looks. Lower Top Tier: Tri Delt Most down to earth girls I've ever met. Sorry, I was pretty brutal with Gamma Phi Beta. Lots of pretty girls and girls who are good at pretending their pretty. Alpha Phi: Ten years ago A Phi was on the same level as ADPi and KD. SDTs were the athletic ones, but known to be easy..std sdt. They try to be the cool girls on campus. (Hang w/ Pi Phi and Theta + Fiji and some SAE) Sure, being a freshman gives you a better chance because you will be a 4-year member, but at the same time, sometimes the older girls that join halfway through college end up being stronger members for the short time they are there, and it also sets you apart from all the freshmen who are rushing because you are different! Okay so here are the real sorority rankings at UT Austin IMO I see changes over time in AXiD and think they're not going to stay down for much longer. Definitely party girls. Every sorority has different traits from chapter to chapter. Pi Phis tend to be arrogant, and really don't care what people think of them, they seem to be above it all. When they put on this show of being social, they can become unclassy and sloppy. Overall Theta competes with Pi Phi and Kappa (less with Kappa in the past couple of years with their suspension for hazing and having to snap bid like twenty five girls a few years back). I just gotta say, for the people criticizing livelonger, don't. You will find some houses that balance GPA, socials and charity work and some that dont do that so well.

I understand that as soon as a thread like this is started, people are re-directed to Greek Rank, but Greek Rank is horrible and biased! sororities/spirit groups in spring 2022 : r/UTAustin - reddit
