Ranks are no longer relevant!
by: RealityAdvice to PNM’s: please do not buy into these “rankings” as holding any degree of truth or insight into the chapter that is the best fit for you. Maybe in the past rankings by desirability provided some insight. Now, with 40+% of PNM’s coming from oos, the most desired looks different and is totally dependent on who you are and what you hope to gain from a sisterhood. The traditionally “most desired” (ADPI, AGD, KD) may still be looked at that way by girls from bham schools that are hoping for a sisterhood full of girls they know from high school. But for those in state girls who want to expand their horizons and aren’t looking for high school 2.0, and for oos girls, “most desired” looks a lot different. While you can find all types in every house, they all bring individual vibes. “Most desired” depends on the PNM. Yes, if you are about sticking with what and who you know - ADPI, AGD. If you are about IG rep, looks, and like to party - PM, PI PHI. If you are about a focus on academics - AXO, XO(and plenty of time for studying with them on yet another sopro). If pretty, well rounded girls from a variety of places with a still southern vibe (think Carolinas, Texas, Tennessee, Florida) appeal to you - GPHI, ZTA. Relaxed, quieter vibe - DG, DZ, Theta. Quirky mix - KKG, AXi. Party vibe and lots of girls from northern states - PI PHI, SK. Chapter you can grow with Tri Sig. Heavy campus involvement - AGD, XO, and Tri Delt, GPhi, AXO starting to build a presence. And by all means, if following in footsteps of your mom, sister, or older girls from bham is your focus - stick with the old school traditional “top”. With a dramatic shift in the Auburn student body, comes a shift in what makes a chapter “top” for sure. Any post that is still “ranking” is outdated.

This is SOOO true! Ranks truly dont matter! You still get swaps, socials, sisterhood, etc in all of the chapters! I am an instate active who wasn’t looking at rank or highschool 2.0, but rather vibe and how i fit in! i love my chapter and if i listened to “ranks” i probably wouldve overlooked them!

So glad someone said it. I never wanted a “top” house as I couldn’t imagine trying to find my place amongst a group of girls who were already friends. Was so grateful to find a group of girls that I had lots in common with but who also had lots to share about places outside of where I grew up! I agree, that with so many oos students coming to Auburn, surely the idea of what is most desired is changing!

This is exactly right and so true. These lists with rankings 1-18 are nonsense. There is absolutely nothing that distinguishes one house from another enough to be able to rank them in a list. Are some more competitive than others, yes. Is that mostly due to greater number of connections, yes. Is it more reasonable to group certain houses with similar vibes, yes. Can a PNM find her people in ANY house, yes!

This is true but I will note that if there’s a chapter that is universally hated on campus it’s usually because they did something to deserve it such as hazing someone into the hospital or being exposed for something nefarious. While most sororities and fraternities have good records, not all of them do. The ones with especially bad reps are the ones to stay away from.
