Some are more popular in the northeast and others in the southern states; some sororities focus more on philanthropy or academics and others on social activities. Answer (1 of 9): This is an awfully big question, let me try to just point out a few things others have missed. Alpha Phi. Nice girls with a strong sisterhood. I'm a Zeta Tau Alpha and I don't wear heavy make up nor do I have a "princess complex." I don't think they've ever missed quota, but every year since my niece started HS 3 years ago, I look at the PC photos and get more concerned. Kappas are the rich girls some are cute but some are not, they basically let girls in who have financial means. PC18 preferred all the sororities above. IMO they will surpass Kappa in the next few years and it will be PZT. cant really rank the bottoms but if i had to choose i would choose adpi as top of bottom, their house is much prettier now and they got more attractive girls compared to other bottoms Chi O really does drop Hardin girls obviously going PKT on day 1 though. Alpha Phi is considered by many to be an upper mid-tier sorority. Especially those that try to tell you what an organization of thousands of women across the entire US is like. IMO will join middle tier in the next few years.

I disagree on ADPi. And the real beauty of the system is that during the "rush" period, EVERYONE, is doing their best to impress. I find this to be interestingly accurate for major generalizations about sororities. Not every sorority is going to have the same reputation on every campus, and trust me, reading this crap will just make you miserable during recruitment. Kappa Delta (KD) is considered an up-and-coming sorority, one that has risen to the top-tier in terms of reputation in recent decades. They have it all. Dont know much about them.
