Kappa Alpha Theta - ΚΑΘ Sorority Ratings at GWU

Honestly I feel really bad for Theta. They just colonized in a time when greek life at GW is super turbulent, and I think that was really detrimental to their growth. I think that if they had colonized the year before or next year (fall 2018), they would have had stronger numbers and GW panhellenic as a whole would have had more time to dedicate to them, but now the focus is all on figuring out deferred recruitment. It's too bad.

honestly pissed bc they had so much potential but took mean girls who all hate each other. Only decent girls they had joined theta to transfer to another school as theta. really embarrassing.

Literally a joke. My friend in theta says that they are so clique-y already and it hasn't even been a year. Your sisterhood is a joke, like 6 people have disaffiliated already. You should probably work on that if you go out and promote your "strong sisterhood"

Theta seems to have a very wide variety of girls. Some are more involved/excited about Theta than others. All of the Thetas I have met so far have been nice and positive about Panhel which isn't something I can say about every sorority. It will be interesting to see how they do in formal recruitment in the spring because it's their first year but I definitely wouldn't say that they are the lowest sorority on campus.

So Theta took 88 girls with their first PC. If they only had 2 seniors graduate, and rumored 6/7 girls dropped or transferred, that puts them at around 80 girls at the start of this year. Judging by photos on their social media, they took 8 new members through COB. Total was set at 116 for the semester. Keep in mind, they're not under any obligation by GW Panhel to reach total, because some other chapters also aren't at total and have elected not to COB. Did 6/7 girls drop? Did they not extend bids to everyone who came to their events? None of us can know unless we're in Theta. However, this gets tricky with formal recruitment in the spring. RFM is based on historical return rates over the past four years, meaning the number each chapter is allowed to invite back each night is the average of their return rates for four years. Theta does not have any return rates, so they will have to invite back the maximum number of girls each night, which excludes grade risks but not much else. Quota in formal recruitment is based off of the number of PNMs attending prefs divided by the number of houses. If Theta's total is now at 88 and they don't extend any more bids this semester, they will need to extend far more bids than the other chapters to reach total. Between this and essentially needing to invite every PNM back each round, the next recruitment does not look bright for Theta.

They didn't offer bids to everyone that COB rushed but heard they have little say over who gets in and who doesn't right now because of nationals. COB class looks alright.

Has a lot of promise, but they lost a lot of girls at the end of last year and didn't recruit that many through COB. Their inability to recruit and rumored cliqueyness should be of great concern to any PNM who considers them.

I'm a PNM who's friends with a few thetas and I'm just generally confused by them. There seems to be a big divide among them, and my friends seem to not like their social media presence (the whole hair bow/scrunchie thing, talking about getting dropped, etc). just seems like their sisterhood isn't cohesive.

Theta is new but all the girls I've met are super nice

Wide mix of girls, some extremely good looking and others less so. Pretty involved on campus for a new chapter. Unfortunately, a small (but very vocal) minority of these girls bash other sororities and have really hurt Theta's reputation. While they have the potential to become a solidly middle tier sorority within the next year, they have a lot of work to do to in order to recruit enough girls to not only get up to chapter total but also to boost their reputation. Seems pretty cliquey.
