rankings by nationals

Alpha Phi, Chi O, Zeta, Pi Phi, Theta , Tri Delta, Gamma phi , DZ, Chi O , DG all have very strong Nationals . The top five would be Chi O, Zeta, Tri Delta, Theta and Alpha Phi

i don’t think zeta would be very high up nationally. they do not have a huge presence in other regions unlike most houses

In no particular order.

Kappa
A Phi
DG
Pi Phi
Tri Delt
Chi Omega

This is the most current I could find.

No on is EVER going to agree on this because everyone's opinion is so different based on who they know at different schools, but I'll play along for fun. In my experience this seems to be the rank of how well known/prevelent they all are nationally, not necessarily where they rank at schools, but based on how much you hear them talked about and such.

KKG XO DG KD KAT
DDD PBP ZTA APHI ADPI AXO
PM AOPI DZ GPHI
AGD SK AXID SDT DPHIE
SSS AEPHI ASA AST PSS TPA

Struggled with where to put AGD. I'm from the north and they're not really known outside of Bama, idk anyone from home in an AGD but in Bama they're really popular. Just super hard to do this list unbiasedly

Copied from UTK’s page; I think this is the most fair take on national ratings that I’ve seen.

The national ratings convo is almost impossible to have bc people's opinions on that are so subjective based on their experiences. Here's how it really is: 18/26 of the panhellenic sororities are pretty well known nationally. You probably know at least one girl in each of these chapters at another school. All have 100+ chapters and a large alum network. Here they are, in alphabetical order:

1. Alpha Chi Omega
2. Alpha Delta Pi
3. Alpha Gamma Delta
4. Alpha Omicron Pi
5. Alpha Phi
6. Alpha Xi Delta
7. Chi Omega
8. Delta Delta Delta
9. Delta Gamma
10. Delta Zeta
11. Gamma Phi Beta
12. Kappa Alpha Theta
13. Kappa Delta
14. Kappa Kappa Gamma
15. Phi Mu
16. Pi Beta Phi
17. Sigma Kappa
18. Zeta Tau Alpha

THESE ARENT IN ORDER
Phi mu- (only big in south but solid still/good reps)
Tri delt (pretty solid nationally)
KKG-(good rep don’t hear much ab them nationally)
DG- (pretty solid all over/good rep/good grades/pretty girls)
SK- (super big in the north but expanding in south/good rep)
Chi Omega-(good southern rep but lots of “mean girls”)
Zeta-(only big in southern/eastern schools/not the best rep but “hot”)
Theta (extremely solid- good “smart” National rep)
ADPI-(iffy nationally but big at certain schools such as some in AZ never really hear ab them)
APHI-(big nationally for the amount of members but overshadowed by their poor rep everywhere)
AXO-(only big in south but good rep. “Alpha Christ”)
KD-the “BEST” sorority only if your from mountain brook otherwise u won’t ever hear ab them.
AlphaGam- never heard of them before coming to the bama but good rep so far
AOPI- don’t hear much nationally ab them but known for being nice smart girls.

these are from headquarters website/ wikipedia and I’m not sure if it’s up to date but considering that a sorority’s reputation differs a lot regionally and nationally, I thought this was the most fair
