ranks & explanations from an upcoming senior

by:    

So before I start, I want to clarify that I am an upcoming senior here and have dropped the sorority I was in due to finances. I am in state and joined an old row house. I don’t care what anyone thinks about the sorority I was in now and I truly feel that I can honestly rank the houses based off girls I’ve met in the house (I know at least 2-10 girls in every house). Second, I want to clarify that I don’t rank houses based on the old row/new row BS. I am ranking these houses based on their overall presence on campus (social and academic) as well as their overall attraction to PNMS. Keep in mind, each PNM looks for a different vibe (grades/involvement, looks/partying, a mix of both) but each and every house wonderful members! I already know houses that are upset with their rank/another houses rank are going to put me on full blast, but I’m basing this off of what I HAVE EXPERIENCED and the houses I hear about the most among other actives not in that house/the frats.

Top: AXO, AGD, Tri Delt, Phi Mu, XO, ZTA
AXO: 2019 winners of homecoming (important to some people, not important to all) and compete for top grades every semester. Some of the members go out, some do not. I do see them out more than Alpha Gam and XO, but my guy friends call AXO “Alpha Christ” 😂 Although there isn’t much that they can physically do with their philanthropy (domestic violence), AXO is one of the most involved houses on campus.
AGD: Top grades for the fall semester this past school year. Very attractive to tuscaloosa/mountain brook/other southern state pnms (more Alabama focused than AXO). They focus heavily on grades and involvement and less on the social aspect. Not as popular with the frats as other sororities on campus, but that doesn’t necessarily matter to their actives. Alpha Gam is highly respected on campus and they do have a few dancers/pageant girls. If you don’t like going out that much and you value grades/involvement, I would personally advise you to have Alpha Gam high on your list.
Tri Delt: Tri Delt has always been a historically top house here. They have an even mix of party girls and introverts. I would say Tri Delt (along with XO) has the overall mix of party girls that also focus on grades. Although Tri Delt isn’t high on the grade report, they are super involved. They do a lot with their philanthropy (St. Judes), which is arguably one of the best philanthropies here in my opinion.
Phi Mu: Again, HISTORICALLY a top house. They do attract A LOTTTT of pnms (I think their actual physical house has a lot to do with it) and they are popular around campus. They are considered one of the “looks” houses; however, based on this past PC I think they may be trying to steer away from that stereotype a little bit (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing)!! They do take a lot of pnms based on the connections they have with girls in the house, which leads them to focus heavily on Alabama pnms. They have moved down in grade reports since back when I was a freshman but their status makes up for it. I am interested to see what direction they go with this years PC.
ZTA: Definitely the #1 “new row” and “looks” house at this point. Arguably the most popular among frats because they love to party with them (yes zetas love to party) and they are majorly present on social media. They are extremely popular on campus but do not focus as much on grades/involvement as a whole. So if you’re looking for a solely grades focused house, this house may not be the

Phi Mu isn’t really a historically top house. They moved up in the 1990s as the “looks” house. And their house (which some people love and some do not) is very flashy.

I’m in another old row and although I have friends in PM, during rush, the literally house seemed like too much for me. The actives I was paired with wouldn’t stop talking about the physical house, even during sisterhood, and I just didn’t vibe that. A lot of PNMs find out the same thing

No Phi Mu you’re not a top house. They need to be moved down along with Zeta. Sorry pretty girls y’all don’t win this one

By: No Phi Mu
by: anyone else > Phi Mu&ZTA   

Phi Mu didn’t even get a “good looking” PC this year 😂 so they don’t even have the looks going for them either

Finally ranks that actually explain what each house is like and why they are ranked where they are at. I definitely agree that KD has slipped to middle tier and I think you could argue that XO has too. Personally, I’d construct the ranks like
Top: AXO, AGD, Tri Delt, Kappa
Lower Top: XO, Phi Mu, Zeta, KD
(no order within tiers)
Every house at Alabama is great, but these houses are the most selective and make heavy cuts (based off of what they are looking for) first round. Really with these houses you can argue switching around a few between “top” and “lower top” but in reality they all have different types of membership and IMO (from someone who was cut by every single one of these houses > ended up dropping my house) you’d be lucky to end up in any of these.

These are the ACTUAL rankings here. Everyone that disagrees is simply jealous or insecure about their own house

By: Yep

These are the most honest/up to date ranking I’ve seen. I usually say don’t believe everything you read on this site but this is actually what it’s like today on campus.

PBP is just as strong, of not stronger, than ZTA

By: PBP

Sisterhood and grade wise yes. Looks, pnm desirability, and popularity on campus not so much unfortunately. I do think Pi Phi will eventually rise to Zeta’s level in all aspects but as of right now though it’s hard to deny that Zeta is becoming increasingly popular among/competing for top pnms.

So I haven’t been on here in a while but was scrolling through and found this post. Definitely not a traditional rank but I kinda like it. You could definitely arguing switching a few around in the first two rounds but let’s be honest at the end of the day most of it’s going to come down to personal preference. I do think KD and Phi Mu are starting to slip a little bit which is sad, but I don’t think it will affect their rushes too much hopefully. I agree with your description with Kappa and imo they are no longer up to par with some of the other houses on campus but they’ve always been a traditionally good house here so your in-state dwellers don’t want them to move down a row of course. Overall pretty good
