DZ is all sunshine and rainbows online, but they're awful in person. They tear each other down and talk smack behind their sister's back. They put on a good face, but get to know the real them, and you'll be let down.

My new member period was great. I was close with my pledge class and the new member educator was an angel. It all ended once I got formally initiated. I was almost immediately pushed away by the older members, belittled and infantilized by sisters who had been there for longer, and left with virtually no support system after most of the sisters I liked went special status/early alumni. The turnover and burnout rate is very high. I was harassed multiple times for not knowing how things worked and for being on the quieter side. I had terrible timing and became an initiated member right before formal recruitment season.The vetting process for giving out bids is just as horrendous as the rumors about it are. when it comes down to it, they only care if you can pay the dues and not if you are a good sister. They are nice during your new member period so they can get your money. Then toss you to the curb once they have you locked in after initiation. I only lasted a semester and a half, most of my pledge class was considering leaving, and the people who stay after all of the drama and dysfunction are 'not great' to put it mildly. I should know, I had the misfortune of living with them. If you get nothing from this review please take this. DO NOT LIVE IN THEIR HOUSE. My roommate got switched at the last minute and without my knowledge to a sister who had many known 'problems'. She became uncomfortable to live with after she broke house rules and was acting destructive toward herself and other sisters less than a week after I moved in. I had no support system to help me deal with her. In normal uah dorms, there are resident directors who can set up meetings and facilitate agreements between roommates but, there is no such thing in the Greek houses. The sister in question was left to run around rampant and it got so bad that I essentially moved out by the end of the month. Our dysfunctional standards team did virtually nothing. This, along with the failure by the college to perform basic maintenance in our house. (Yes UAH owns our house.. it's terrible) and the refusal of our director of chapter property at the time to do anything (or to be a pleasant person in general) virtually destroyed my life for a semester. All of these issues can be traced back to a key issue, none of the officers are capable of their positions. There are a few gems but for the most part, they are under trained and couldn't care less. At the worst, they are on a power trip of the only elevated position they will ever have in their lives. Even if the officer's intention started out good, aoii's hq is only a money collector and offers them no actual support. These sisters are just praying they don't have another ELC visit/investigation. This organization is embarrassing and our founders would be ashamed of our chapter and headquarters. Also, did I mention that they are terrible with money in general??? Headquarters is terrible about keeping track of dues and transparency. The members are terrible as well. Expect to pay hundreds more per semester than what they tell you during recruitment. Some events cost extra money plus the inevitable fines you will accumulate due to missing the tons of mandatory events/requirements each semester. There are two other sororities on campus who I am sure have varying levels of the same dysfunction.. but cost less money

The Sigmas at UAH are THE BEST D9 org on the campus. Period. They were friendly, approachable, funny and cool.

Great group of guys! I always feel welcome when I stop by. I grab lunch with them from time to time. Their parties are also great.

So after hanging around greek life looking into who I should rush this spring I feel I connect the most with Pike. The brothers seem genuine and fun while also doing well in academics and in sports! Definitely excited to rush this spring it was a close call between Pike and Delta Chi but ultimately my heart is going with Pike.

The rudest group of girls i’ve ever met. They tear down confident women to make themselves feel better. If you aren’t a size 0 and blonde you’re treated as less than. Used to be the sorority to join but since 2020 they have gone down hill. FAST. make other sisters feel bad about their success and judge everyone. all they care about is partying, their looks, and boys.

Sigma Nu is very diverse and welcoming. They are somewhat small but I’ve heard they are growing. They know how to party!

DZ girls are the type to call you their bestie and then be talking about to you anyone who will listen. this house is full of stuck up girls whose only personally traits are tiktok and being loud.

hit or miss person by person obviously, but the good ones are good through and through. this is from a sorority girl's view.
