Alpha Chi Omega (AXO or A Chi O) is a mid-tier sorority with a widely varying reputation. 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). They take sisterhood seriously and try not to get caught up in drama, which might lead to the sentiment that they're aloof and snobbish. Axo The friendships in sororities are unlike anything else and I wouldn't trade them for anything. Alpha Kappa Alpha. Kappas did snap bid a few years ago. DDD are you listening?

Some sororities have close ties to fraternities on the same campus and get together informally and for major events. AXID is last.

No one here should discuss sorority reputations, and certainly not name names, because frankly with over 200 girls in each house you really cant pigeonhole them that way. I never felt compelled to join myself, but you are right, those that do good charity work should be admired. Participate in recruitment activities. Despite their relatively low profile, Alpha Chi Omegas are considered down-to-earth and genuine. Again all the "rude" terms that I just associated with each house to not describe the individuals of a house, but terms like these come about when certain houses act together in poor ways.

And, 2) Choose to work with a sorority rush coach to help prepare them for and guide them through recruitment. Article seems slanted. Sorry, DG. Ah well. It's so weird to see girls get so upset over getting dropped by the good sororities and having to go to the lowest tier parties. This description may be related to two stereotypes about them: Unfortunately, this reputation has led most other sororities on some campuses to consider them lower-tier. So if the charity work is what you are worried about, do some research on what the specific philanthropies of the chapters at your school are. Every chapter within a sorority is different. I don't even think they are trying to improve because they don't think there's anything wrong. They are running with PKT girls and are wilder than Pi phi or Kappaat least the non-Bible beater part of the chapter. Very beautiful girls and their house is the best IMO. Perhaps your guide will give others a better initial overview so THEY, unlike me, will still consider pledging some of these sororities :D.

You have nothing to loose, and you'll never know if you could absolutely love it until you try it!! To ALL of the sororitys we are great people and DONT let a random website tell u what u are not!!

Top Tier: Zeta, Chi-O Not one person do I hear that they hate pi Phis. This is stupid. This may not be a fair assessment, though, and might simply be the sentiment of those who have seenand resentKappa Deltas' rise in rankings. They actually drop out of recruitment than pledge a bottom tier sorority, like kappa Kappa Gamma or DZ. Usually pretty and party a lot but like AXO don't get big 6 because they are missing something(could be looks, outgoing personality, etc.) This years PC is cute and fun from what Ive seen so far. Fortunately, you correctly pointed out these are generalization because from campus to campus there are important differences and from region to region. At this point I have to assume you have already submitted all of your letters of recommendations and done the required paper work for recruitment. Particularly on a very large campus, undergraduates can benefit from the friendship and support a sorority offers. I would venture to say your fraternity life was short and you are disparately trying to relive your college life. So just saying "sororities aren't my thing" or "I'm not a sorority girl" is dumb to me. Just like Lambda Chis for guys. I find this to be interestingly accurate for major generalizations about sororities. Each campus is different. They are not regarded as nicebut not outright nasty either.

Delta Gamma (DGs) is considered a mid-tier sorority almost everywhere across the country. From my school they take the girls who are willing to stay in rush that no one else will take. They were students calling Phi Mu girls Phi Moo at Arkansas and then the girls at LSU are pretty girls and it's a popular sorority. Sadly, that is fairly indicative of this chapter. You would already know what the chapters are like. They are incredibly happy there and I was shocked frankly that they rushed to begin with. Pi Phi and Tri Delt are usually pretty strong up there as well. IMO I dont think they will ever be quite on the same level as Theta and Pi Phi again.
