How to Get a Bid at a Top Five Sorority

How to Get a Bid at a Top Five Sorority

Have what it takes?

 

So I believe that rush is starting sometime relatively soon, so I thought it might be a good time to publish this article for all the freshmen wanting to know how to get into a "top-tier" sorority. I've compiled tips for the top five houses on last year's "The List" (which is going to be rewritten soon, my network of spies back in MI are doing their homework as we speak). In "ranking" order, here they are:

 

Alpha Phi


How to Look: Just be hot. With makeup is required, without makeup is preferred. Stylish, but not overly Prada-ed out to give the air that you don’t really care what you look like. But you do, a lot.
How to Act: Be nice, act like every other house was just OK. Throw it out that you’re considering Tri Delt and they’ll snatch you right up.
Who You Were in High School: Homecoming Queen, Prom Queen, Miss Oakland County. Pretty much anything that’s required wearing a sash.


Tri Delt


How to Look: Hot, or tall, or blonde, or have huge boobs. You need at LEAST two to be considered, three is preferable, all four and you must be visiting from MSU.
How to Act: Be excited, like really ****ing excited to be there. Say that all the other houses were sooo stuck up, and that you really feel like you fit here because you girls are totally nice.
Who You Were in High School: Captain of the cheerleading squad, dated captain of the baseball team, football team, or basketball team, or all of the above. Probably all of the above, probably overlapping.


Kappa


How to Look: Attractive, preferably brunette, decked out in at least $500 worth of clothes and $500 worth of accessories. This is called the “1K” rule.
How to Act: Like you’re too good to be there, and like you were too good for all the other houses. They’ll love it. Ask about where they got whatever it is they're wearing. Talk about it for the next hour.
Who You Were in High School: The extremely popular girl who drove to class in a Mercedes or Volvo, didn’t join any clubs or play any sports, spent most of their time at the mall.


Sigma Kappa


How to Look: Down-to-earth cute, not overdone. A nice handbag but you don’t need to go all out.
How to Act: Bring your own flask because “rush is so lame.” Alright, that might not actually work. But showing up drunk probably would be more celebrated than frowned upon.
Who You Were in High School: The “BFF” of the hottest girl in school, or on Homecoming Court, but never actually wore a crown. The gossip queen who knew everyone and everything.


Theta


How to Look: Brunette curly/wavy hair in a side-ponytail, black stretch pants, boy’s white T, bug-eye glasses, Uggs, long brown padded Northface (doesn’t matter how warm it is). You need ever single piece of this outfit to be considered. Do NOT miss anything, this dress code is rigidly enforced.
How to Act: Like Theta is the only sorority that exists in the world. But you can rip on SDT and DPhiE and talk about some cute AEPi boys you met during welcome week.
Who You Were in High School: You’re either from West Bloomfield or Long Island, drove something shiny and foreign, traveled around in a flock with girls who look exactly like you.

 

Look for my "How to Get a Bid at a Top Five Fraternity" coming atcha tomorrow.

Top three at my school, in order are Pi Phi, DG, and Chi-O. The absolute top tier group and if a girl didn't get into one of the Big Three, she dropped out.
Sororities are different at all the schools.
Theta is the worst, Kappa left because they couldn't get ANY girls, and Tri-Delts are the "heavy, big boned girls". Alpha Phi is awful and Sigma Kappa went off in the 80's because of low numbers and they were the worst. Theta will probably go off next year, they didn't make quota again, and the girls were the "worst"....just like Kappa was the worst for so long. I don't think Kappa made quota in 5 years. Like Theta, and Tri-Delt, Kappa was taking anyone who breathed.

By the way "dumbass" I can post wherever and wherever I want on the Internet, so back the f*** off, you self-centered jerk.
No, narrow minded fools I am not trying to do some covert recruiting, women can join whatever group they want.
I'm being truthful about the situations at other schools and I'm using language that I see on your blogs about sororities. Hopefully it will make women think about how trivial these ego trips are, and how it might make other women in "non top 5" houses feel. It also ticks me off that some self important fool belittles good houses like Tri-Delt, Alpha Phi, Sigma Kappa, and others as bimbos.
Oh, BTW, Michigan is not the center of the universe, neither are you "ranking lords" and these idiotic stereotypes. Who gave you the authority to judge these women? You think your opinion is the truth? Do you think you are "complimenting" them so they will be flattered, get drunk and f@@@ you? You portrayed these fine sororities and these women as sluts and materialistic whores on Google. You do them a big disservice. God, ladies, are these the caliber of guys you screw in MI? Are you that desperate for their approval and your own validation? Read some of the blogs about what these guys say about you. I've read you are all "drunk, loose, bitches" and the rest are "mediocre, ugly, or pigs". Nice choice of groups to be in. I've read that there aren't good-looking women in Michigan, that the "hot" ones are all in Texas, California and the SEC Greek organizations. If an entire group of women wants to be lumped into a demeaning, and brainless category, go for it. I am surprised any woman would not protest this misogynistic attack, instead of being "proud' to be in a top slutty house. It appears Michigan's "strong" sororities are based on how easy they put out with some drunken frat loser. Sorry, but true. By the way, I am a member of one of the top 5 you listed at your school, and I am really insulted you would say that about my "sisters". Fortunately, I went to a different school, but this article by some freak is why Greeks have the reputations of being idiots, losers, whores and frat pigs. My sisters are beautiful, fun actually somewhat nice and are members of DG and Pi Phi at the school I mentioned. These sororities may suck at your school, but not at theirs. In the South, Pi Mu, Kappa Delta, ADPi and Zeta are strong, and they may suck at your school. I want to give young women going through rush at any school, a bigger picture of sorority life and don't rely on some guy's approval .I just graduated from a big Greek school and my house had all types of women. So yeah, I graduated with honors, I live in NYC, am a model, and am interviewing with for a great job as an editor. I date a GREAT guy, from an Ivy League school who thinks MI is for the ones who are âlower tierâ after reading the OTR post. He is also very grateful he is not a fraternity member or "frat rat" as he calls them. I learned the ropes early, and have a cousin who I HOPE doesn't go to MI next year if this is what she has to look forward to. Ladies, it's a big world out there and when you graduate, people couldn't care less if you were a member of XYZ sorority or not. Actually, most people hate the Greeks, because of this BS propaganda. And BTW, most of these guys in college, won't look half as good as you in 5 years. If you donât believe me look around Chicago, LA, and other cities outside the microcosm of Ann Arbor. Donât let these schmucks put you down, you are better than that and now I am off to do more fun things. Enjoy your four years.

Dear Crazy from another school,
Get a life. This isn't your school. Who said we thought Michigan was the center of the universe? We GO to this school, so are interested in what goes on here. I would see no reason to start looking at another school's website and write a stupid long post defending my sorority to these people that have no clue what I am representing.
And since you seem to be sooo disapproving of these stereotypes, since you don't GO TO SCHOOL here I thought I'd put a little disclaimer to fill you in on how it works here: those are stupid stereotypes. Every single fraternity and sorority on every campus in the nation has stereotypes like that, and do you really think people believe them??? You need to get a life and pay attention to your own school. You probably go to OSU though, so I guess we can sympathize why you would be staring at and idolizing the Michigan blog.

Sincerely,
Michigan student

Since we're apparently listing the top sororities for completely random schools now, I figured I'd correct Miss Rampant Rant about the "strong" schools in the "south". The Big Six at UT in Texas (the most competitive rush in the country, in case you didn't know) is Pi Phi, Theta, Kappa, Chi-O, Tri-Delt, and Zeta with the top three being far removed in prestige from the bottom three. Oh, and Pi Mu isn't on campus, ADPi isn't very good, and KD is second to last. Now that we've cleared this up, let's let these nice people get back to discussing MSU, shall we?
