Hi OP! Firstly I want to say that you shouldn’t let what other people say stop you from joining a house when you love it or convince you not to join a house when your heart is not in it. I also want to say that no matter what you read on this post, I can almost guarantee you will have a different experience, good or bad because sorority recruitment is different for everyone. That being said, I did not like Alpha Phi when I went through and tried to drop them every single round. They had dirty rushed me in the spring and the summer before recruitment. They were extremely nice, but I just didn’t connect to the girls there. As for the stereotype that they only go for pretty girls? I do not match the looks of the average APhi in the slightest. I am not skinny, I am not blonde, I am not conventionally attractive. To me, this really can mean either two things: they are not as superficial as they seem (possible) or they wanted me as a GPA boost (this is what I think happened). The latter is the most likely scenario IMO, just because I had a good GPA coming out of high school and I did pretty poorly in every round (not on purpose, again I tried to like it I just didn’t mesh well with the girls I talked to). I have met many Alpha Phis in my classes and know a couple from my hometown and they seem to really love it. They are all pretty and they are all very nice girls. They have had some controversies in the past, all having to do with racism. I would be lying if I said the incident from 2018 was not one of the reasons I wasn’t sure about their chapter. It was a factor in my decision. Just take everything the chapter is in consideration against your own values, as you should be doing for other houses too. You’ll find the right house for you, whether it’s APhi or not.
