sorority reputations- not rankings!

None of the sororities have a bad rep at Auburn. There are a couple that tend to be known for going out more, (PiPhi DZ Zeta maybe) but that doesn't mean they have a bad rep. The rest are very well rounded and not too much difference between them. Most houses are known for being conservative at AU. Go through rush and see who you like for yourself!

I promise that you will find something great about every sorority if you have a positive attitude and avoid getting caught up in gossip. You will not find a sorority at Auburn that has a house filed with one type of girl!

They are all good. It is silly to ask which are good since those members will rank groups accordingly. Be lucky if you get in any of them. If you are listing groups the groups (I notice that ZTA is in almost every group above)...then you are probably in that group. My group is great..but I don't have to make a list to know it. You will know what you want when you get here!

Just know there's a lot of overlap. For instance, ZTA and DZ are both known for going out a lot, but ZTA is one of the most philanthropic sororities on campus and DZ is really high in grades. The way rush and sororities are set up at Auburn, you almost always get an accurate feel for what each sorority is like. For example, you meet multiple girls in each chapter, learn about their philanthropy, see personality in the skit, etc.

I know maybe 3 girls out of dozens and dozens and dozens that dropped out of their sorority freshman year. Unlike many schools, all the sororities are super cool and diverse! Also, Auburn rush is great and almost always puts you exactly where you need to be!

Everything you read is true. I know girls that have never drank in their lives in some of the sororities people think are the more party ones and girls that go to drink specials every week in the more "good girl" groups. You will find something you love anywhere. It's not like that at all schools, but it truly is like that here. PS, do not judge any rep that a sorority has at schools around you to their chapter at Auburn. I know the west coast has different priorities than we do in the south, and I'd hate for you to miss out because they are different back home!

You have already identified yourself as someone coming from the west coast. There are not that many girls who attend Auburn from the west coast. It would not be hard to figure out who you are during recruitment. my advice to you is to just focus on being the best you, and come here with an open mind and heart. All of the sororities at Auburn are great........it REALLY is TRUE. I know that may be hard to believe, but it is so true!congratulations on choosing Auburn! It is the best decision you will ever make! War Eagle!

Since you're from the West Coast, you might be more interested in one of the "diverse" groups.. being from out of state, I joined a sorority that had girls from a lot of different areas, and that made me feel more comfortable. I know all sororities pull from different places, but some do some more than others. While the South is AWESOME, it's nice to have someone in your sorority who is from a northern/western state who can relate to you. But, that's just what worked for me! I say rush and don't stress about it; if you decide sorority life isn't for you, there's still so many ways to get involved on campus! Auburn is just awesome in general :) War Eagle & Good Luck!

Go to the AU Greek site and review their recruitment process. You will see it is a week-long process with an opportunity to meet with girls from each sororotity. As the selection process continues there are multiple opportunities to spend time with the same sorority. There are a lot of girls going through recruitment and it can be an emotional week however trust in the process. Chances are you will end up exactly where you should be. Good luck!

KD is the best sorority on Auburn's campus

Why in the world are you coming to Auburn? There are sooooo many better schools out there--including others in the southeast--if that is what you are looking for.
