Kappa Alpha Theta - ΚΑΘ Sorority Ratings at UCSC

Wow after being excited for recruitment because my mother is a theta and thought it would be so cool to be a Legacy .... forget this I don’t need drama or disrespect! I just graduated from high school I don’t needn’t to be in a place that acts like high schoolers!

not invoked in greek life so me commenting here speaks for itself. everyone used to think theta was the underdog sorority and it gained a lot of respect that way. now, it has some of the worst sisterhood next to kappa that i’ve ever seen. i know SO many girls who dropped theta after a hear or less. most people can only name like 5 main groups of thetas, the rest they just let in the sorority to boost their numbers and gpa. mean mean girls who shade one another and talk about each other online. saw a lot of posts by thetas talking about how “it’s not bullying if we’re not your friend so we don’t invite you1!1!” but that really fails to take in account what these girls who are speaking up are saying. seriously, no other sorority has as many cliques and groups as theta does.

It is true they do not go by what they preach. There are a lot of mean girls in there and they only have a group they choose to hang out with to where they will ignore you, they will not acknowledge you, if you’re different in anyway they do not like they will not approach you. There are so many signs that a lot of girls feel this way look at their attendance, look at how girls don’t even feel comfortable enough to approach the chapter, when it comes to picking new officers they recycle with their own groups don’t give others a chance.

Wish I knew who else was writing all these negative rankings and is feeling so depressed while being in the org because dang we should break off from this and be friends there’s multiple of us I know I’ve talked to a few. Thanks for invalidating all of our feelings and that fb post apology was sweet bc there’s not much more she can do besides address this internally but none of us are going to come in front of cabinet and exec because of how you all treat us. Maybe that should be the first action plan addressing the corruption from that.

Ok I don’t like feeding into all the hate and would normally just ignore these comments because they don’t deserve the attention they’re getting. But it seems to me that the real bullies are the ones calling out girls on social media from behind an anonymous platform. You say these girls exclude you but I can almost guarantee you that if you asked to hangout with them or invited them to hangout with you they would be thrilled. But instead you chose jealousy and hateful cyber bullying. Theta is full of wonderful girls who are extremely welcoming and outgoing. It’s sad that a few people are trying to ruin the reputation of so many.

As someone who has been a member for 4 years I can honestly say that Theta is one of the most positive things that has happened in my life. Every org has their strong and weak points, but Theta has helped me waaaaay more than it hasn’t. Every chapter has a bit of drama and every chapter has lots of different kinds of girls but the one thing that has remained constant throughout my time in the chapter is that Thetas actually come through when you need them. I’ve noticed that those who feel like the org is rejecting them are often people who miss a lot of mandatory stuff and get pissed when they miss important info and decide that the chapter is out to get them. I’m in no special house and I’m not “popular”, but I have felt the Theta love through and through

Please don’t let these hurtfully biased comments fool you. No matter what org you join, you get what you put in. If you go in with an open mind and really try to get involved and find people you vibe with, you will. Because of theta I was able to become friends with the most genuine and caring girls. I truly consider them my sisters, and for that I will always be thankful and proud that I joined theta. There are so many girls in this org and yes we are very diverse. So don’t let these comments of a small group of girls become a representation of the org as a whole.

I came here as a transfer student not knowing a single person. I have struggled with severe social anxiety for most of my life so it was difficult to throw myself into a sorority to say the least, let alone come to a new school. However, I kept showing up to events and I eventually met some amazing, genuine girls. I was very awkward at first but I kept trying and eventually, I felt like I had a home here in theta. I can honestly say that theta saved me, and if you give it a chance, you might meet some of your best friends. I’m sorry to those who have had negative experiences but none of the girls you have listed are bullies; they are amazing, genuine women. many of them are very open to meeting new people if you just reach out. :)

When I first joined theta I wasn’t very active, in fact after a year of being involved I still wasn’t I was not doing great in school and wasnt happy in sc. I was ready to call it quits and go back home, I decided to put myself out there and get more involved and I’m the process I found women who have helped me to become the beautiful, smart women I am right now! I am thankful for that’s for being my family since mine is so far away and saving me from my depression. There are of course issues as there is in every org because not everyone agrees on the same things. But I thank god every day for giving me these women because honestly without I don’t think I would be alive right now and if I was I would not have the confidence that I do in myself right now! These women are my safe haven!

All I'm going to say is that I personally have found a huge support group in theta. Was it hard to come out of my comfort zone and talk to them? Yes but that was my personal issue that I had to overcome. Not everyone is able to come out of their comfort zone to talk to people but I know for a fact that some of the girls in theta have definitely made me feel welcomed. I've gained more than a dozen girls I can count on to help me with issues when I've felt down. The select few who have felt like they don't belong, I apologize. Just know that there are a lot of wonderful women in this organization and don't let the opinions of others cloud your personal opinion. This year calls for a lot of change and we can only hope to make it better. Much love <3
