some suggestions
by: TO DDD
I see what you are trying to do, and while I respectfully disagree with part of your message, I have a suggestion.
While I agree that tiers will never be found on a list, a source, or anything else, I do think that they are part of the overall 'social class system'. They are just a word for which house is prettiest/best looking, get their first picks, etc. Top tier is just putting a label on who the 'popular' kids at HS would have been. I do not want to argue whether they exist, or not, so can we cordially agree to disagree?
What I think you should be focusing on is WHO cares what tier house you are in, and focus on why it matters so much! Anytime someone has to come on here and post the new tier list for the day, it is obviously some very insecure girl (guys don't do this) trying to convince herself her house is better than so and so's. She needs to get confirmation from others she is in a top house, or it could be someone from a 'bottom' or 'mid' that has to rise above some other house.
The bottom line is, who cares? Why is it important? If your sorority is listed one level above or below whomever you are trying to compete with, how will that effect your life? It won't by even a bit. Sororities are about making life long friends. Creating memories that last a lifetime. Being comfortable and accepted wherever you are at. If you are able to have a true sisterhood, THAT is what truly matters, not some BS tier list! THAT is what you should post, DDD!

"The bottom line is, who cares?"
Apparently thousands care, judging from the thousands of "thumbs down" DDD's posts get!
"Why is it important?"
Because they're not important, and yet every year PNMs are indoctrinated on the mythical "tiers," so much so that PNMs seek houses they don't fit in, and reject houses they do fit in, solely on the basis of the mythical "tiers" they hear about. "Tiers" are worse than fake and made-up and not recognized by any UF or Greek authority anywhere - they're a cancer on Greek life at UF.

Sometimes I catch myself wishing I would've put a "higher" house as number 1 after prefs, and then I realize it's for completely superficial reasons and that I fit in with the house I chose perfectly. Yes there is a "tier" system in a sense, but instead of trying to eradicate it, we need to make it so it doesn't matter as much.

I think most don't care, but when you had a bad recruitment and then come on here & get told you are bottom tier solely based on your looks, it sucks. Many girls are wonderful women who are crazy involved and smart get respected less solely because they don't fit the mold.
P.S. Nothing against houses higher or anything. I believe every sorority is filled with beautiful women.
