Alpha Phi

Poster Message:
Y'all are underestimating Alpha Phi as a national organization, not necessarily just the Ole Miss chapter, but definitely the sorority as a whole. They are THE California sorority and strong all over the Midwest and East Coast, but have no southern presence, so when they started opening all these chapters in the South and Texas I thought they would be out of their league and fail miserably everywhere. But they invest millions and millions into gorgeous houses, they are way more selective than other colonies, focus on pretty and outgoing girls rather than the bookworm/accomplishment types colonies often take, because they know those girls will recruit well. They listen closely to the traditions at each school and make sure Alpha Phi matches those traditions perfectly, rather than doing what works in California or their other chapters. The knock is that if they are bidding pretty/rich/outgoing girls that didn't already join a sorority, that there are more grade risks and questionable behavior than other sororities, and so retention may be harder for them. But truth be told is that unless you're connected in the school and destined for top tier anyway, all you see as a PNM at any of these schools is that they are pretty and fun, and so when you're cut by the truly elite groups and left with the middle tiers, many will default to the really pretty/fun chapter when all is said and done. Will they ever be top tier at any of these southern schools? No, because they don't have the legacies, and won't for decades. But they are doing far better than they should at all our schools, especially for a bunch of California/East Coast national leaders. Their nationals seems to understand what works rather than all the other nationals who push for "campus leaders" in their colonies that can't recruit, and provide substandard houses (if a house at all).
