Like my mom always said, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. This is complete nonsense and pure garbage. They are kind notorious for being, um, generous.

It's different at all schools, but at my school were known as being the funnest sorority to party with and we have the best sisterhood. We foster a culturally conscious, safe, and responsible community, contributing to positive siblinghood.

Learn for yourself. Good Standing is reported at beginning of each semester and reflects outcome of the prior semester program. They have a reputation for accepting those who were rejected by top-tier sororities and that they are a backup option for many. I also know they party--but that is not their focus (particularly after freshman year!) Every girl should have the opportunity to get a feel for each and every house she rushes and decide for herself which she would fit in the best at. Stop dropping girls only because you think they might go PKT. Ole Miss, Bama, LSU who cares! All these Panhellenic chapters have something to benefit their members and shouldn't be labeled by one person's opinion based off of numbers and observations. And as for the parents and others commenting on this and taking it seriously, don't. aphi might as well be on the same level as tridelt at this point because tri delt did ridiculously bad this year. I can not believe that this is something that exists.

I never knew anything about this stuff, and your take on their reputations was a lot more interesting than reading a wikipedia of their history. i don't have much info on sororities but i am a freshman in texas angels! Some sororities have close ties to fraternities on the same campus and get together informally and for major events. They try to be the cool girls on campus. Chi O: About 50/50 party girls and non-party girls. I just gotta say, for the people criticizing livelonger, don't. Even with some of the negative comments (which are expected and should be from every house), I have to say that this is pretty spot on for Texas schools, Bama, and Ole miss (theta exception for rebels). At my school, Chi O and KD are considered the "best" sororities and what you said about the Chi O's is illustrated exactly at my school. No one is saying that these reputations are absolute for every chapter in every university. Sure, there are a few nerdier girls in DG and KD and ADPi has some quiet girls but those are all great chapters as is AXD. Pi Phi: Their PC18 had some snap bids and it seemed like this year girls prefered Zeta and Chi O above Pi Phi. Chi o- "bible beaters"- love The Lord, academics is important, Pi Phis (top)- love their Lilly and pearls with a dash of vodka, while Kappas (top) just love their vodka (and are usually the more 'brunette' house with rich girls), alpha phi - idgaf girls, very popular among the frats, easy DZ..nuff said, tri-delts (tri hards) usually pretty top - your camp counselor kinda gals, zetas (top) the on campus barbies, theta---jocks - so on with that. Dont know much about KD or ADPI. AXO and DG not too far behind. Because of this genetic characteristic, a Pi Phi is usually at home wearing gold . I can see why a Zeta would think they are the best though. Kappa har frre festpiger og flere YL-piger end Pi Phi og Theta.

Each chapter varies and although SOME of these stereotypes are similar to those on my campus, some are so far from it. You will find some houses that feel welcoming, some that dont and that all depends on you as a person. Not one!!! Particularly on a very large campus, undergraduates can benefit from the friendship and support a sorority offers. Kappa Delta is not like Kappa Alpha Theta, which was omitted, and also considered top tier. Sorority and Fraternity Life Office of the Dean of Students Student Services Building 4.400 100 West Dean Keeton Street Austin, TX 78712 Phone:512-471-9700 Email:sfl@austin.utexas.edu Office Hours:Office location open 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. If you decide that you are not ready before initiation, you can break your pledge from the organization.

Lots of pretty girls and girls who are good at pretending their pretty. Alpha Gamma Delta. DG has been steadily dropping. Every chapter, every year is different. Medium low-ish, ish ish. Many girls who get AXD end up dropping. "They will always be bottom" is what everyone said about APhi 15-18 years ago when they were literally stuck in a hole that was lower than AXiD!

Tami Rogers from Seattle, Washington on February 09, 2015: Both of my daughters are DG's at the University of Washington. A fellow DZ is our Panhellenic President now for 2020.

I disagree on ADPi. Some of those houses still hold clout, but others are slipping. this is so out of date it's pathetic. Didn't find your school?Request for your school to be featured on GreekRank. The rest of the 'general' descriptions are amazingly accurate. I was pressured to go one way because I had friends who were already members of a certain house but I ended up joining a different one and I've never been happier. Two DZs are on our schools Junior Panhellenic Council. Tri Delt: Really outgoing and fun girls. Delete it; you look stupid. Also they have the majority of UT cheerleaders. Anyone and everyone ever involved in the Greek System is obviously going to be biased toward their sorority or the sorority that all of their friends are in. I'm not a member of either, but I read it and thought "Wow, somebody doesn't like the Pi Phis". Request for your school to be featured on GreekRank. Because of this, only the nastiest sorority girls will outwardly dislike a Delta Zeta girl. About the Kappas all being rich, I would disagree. I find that Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Kappa Kappa Gamma, all are considered "top tier' nationally. 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. The national organization stresses "Christian ideals."

The tier has everything to do with how picky it can be about members. This is very interesting stuff. The Kappas aren't rich like the Pi Phis and Thetas. Shame on you. DDD are you listening? 25? Girls going through rush (and those rushing them) will decide where they fit in the best; the recruitment process is designed to try to ensure that good matches are made, and each PNM ultimately joins the house in which she will feel most comfortable. Audrey Selig from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on August 24, 2013: My sorority is not on this list, but I am aware of Pi Phi, KD, Chi Omega. F off with this. An individual's personal experiences might corroborate one or more of these, or they might stand in direct contradiction of them. Being in a sorority is something I can't explain in words. I'm a Zeta Tau Alpha and I don't wear heavy make up nor do I have a "princess complex." Theta: IMO best pledge class. This may be because the sorority has recently fought its way to the top tier and has a reputation to maintain. Chi O is a good chapter. Participate in recruitment activities. Wouldnt be surprised if they continue to improve over the next few years. Not one person do I hear that they hate pi Phis. Terrible physical house. It'd be interesting to hear people's perceptions of these sororities. Why is it that every other day we get some insecure big 6 girl coming in and posting a thread like this to reaffirm the outdated social hierarchy theyre so desperate to maintain. Theyre friendly and make everyone feel welcome, and they were really good at that during rush. Just behind Theta in that respect.

Theyve got great mixers. Neither one is the "sorority type". Still has a ways to go to get back on Thetas and Pi Phis level that it was on ten years ago. Usually gives a few COBs. You will find some houses that balance GPA, socials and charity work and some that dont do that so well. They are known for hazing and weak sisterhood. Ah well. I don't even think they are trying to improve because they don't think there's anything wrong. It's definitely not for me though. And if you are a girl reading this whos interested in joining greek life, dont listen to this shit. THERE IS NOT A BAD HOUSE AT UTplease dont drink the kool aide They all have mixers with fraternities, date parties, formals, etc. Y'all gave so many girls to them this year who would have loved to be DDD but you dropped them! DG IMO they will surpass Kappa in the next few years and it will be PZT.

AXD: They struggle a lot during rush. Many consider them obsessed with their looks and say they have a reputation for body image issues. This is absolutely absurd. What about AGD, AOII and Gamma Phi? PKT, Chi O, Zeta, and DG were very accurate. The Kappa chapter was shut down for drugs and hazing at Rollins and OSU, and dancing topless at SMU on bid day?
