This infuriates me for so many reasons. Let me share.
- Ranking sororities is something we should all be AGAINST as a concept in general. You can never judge a sorority on a national perception, or by what you’ve heard. Each chapter is beautiful, unique and stands for sisterhood- how can you rank the bonds between women?
- This is a list made by parents, who I presume are not all Greek. How dare you judge?
- This kind of list gets to PNMs and gives them pre-conceived notions of a sorority, which is so wrong. Every PNM should get the chance to go through recruitment and decide without silly lists from unaffiliated magazines.
- This kind of thing presents itself legitimately, but is TRULY no better than GreekRank.com It seems to have no basis on anything but opinion.
- As Sorority Women we should never support anything that tears down another Greek organization, and that’s that.
So please, do what I’m doing and comment on this article. Tell them that as Sorority Women, we DON’T stand for rankings- unless it’s for competitions in Greek Week, of course! But seriously, this kind of thing has to stop.

I ran across this website playing around on Pinterest. I can inequivocably say going Greek was one of the best experiences of my life. I highly recommend it. I learned so much about myself, dealing with other people, and life as a whole. Most importantly, I made deep friendships with women I will cherish the rest of my life, both in my organizations and others. I do have a suggestion for the icons. One of the great things about going back to my alma mater is seeing and getting to know the amazing young women in that have been initiated since my graduation. Give it a year or two, then go back for something other than Homecoming. It’s awesome. Greek Life doesn’t end at Graduation.
- Get involved. What you put in is what you’ll get out.
- Try to get to know your pledge class, you’re going to be together for the next four years.
- Take everything in. You’re going to be learning so much.
- Learn the symphony. Love the symphony. Live the symphony.
- Get crazy excited over Big Little Week!
- Enjoy every second of being an owl baby!
- Don’t be scared for initiation!
- Get excited to become a sister!
