just out of curiosity

For the people in the back...they are NOT a top house any longer. They are living of past rep and a greek system who refuses to let it go. Seriously, they aren't a bad house, they just aren't elite anymore. They have more average girls than above average girls, five years ago this wasn't the case. They have been in trouble with both IU and their national for excessive partying, low GPA, not taking recruitment seriously, etc. Five years ago, again, not the case, they could hold their booze without getting sloppy drunk, they could fill a pledge class without giving snap bids, etc.

Pi Phi, XO are far above them now. I would put Alpha Phi, AXO, Kappa in the next group down..still good chapters, just not as "good".

I’m a girl that is in another house, but i knew 3 of them first semester that are really nice girls. I obviously can only speak on behalf of those three, but they all are very nice to me and the other girls we were with first semester. The ones i know are freshman

pnms think top tier means good and well respected but no it means wealthy and superficial. I’m not saying that everyone in top tier fits that but that is what tier level is based on and it is also why aphi has gained such a bad reputatition in the past few years. They take girls based entirely on money partying and looks. That’s not exactly a recipe for sisterhood and it is why aphi is falling. They’ll continue to take the girls who don’t care about anything except for being an aphi and they’ll end up like tri delt if they’re not careful. The nice fun girls who frats actually like are starting to choose top mid or other top houses over aphi’s plummeting reputation

To sum up Aphi: I told a girl during rush that I had gone to Brazil over the summer, and she responded: “Oh my god I love Mexico, my parents have a house there!”
