If you already know people in the houses, then you wouldnt be on here or Greekrank asking for reputations. I'm rushing KD in the fall. Pi Phis tend to be arrogant, and really don't care what people think of them, they seem to be above it all. Many cheerleaders and pom girls go Zeta.

TCU's Reputation - TCU - College Confidential Forums I go to UF, and the sorority girls are ridiculous. What about AGD, AOII and Gamma Phi? Chi O: About 50/50 party girls and non-party girls.

Seriouslyagainclueless. Agreed that different universities hold sororities in different esteem!! But just looking at their PC compared to KD and even AXD was a shock. All of our chapters are unique, so women have been able to find chapters suited to their needs. I really am hopeful that there is such thing as a classy sorority, but I'm losing hope. Still a top tier house thats almost impossible to get into. Sorry, ladies. Like my mom always said, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. Just saying what is the truth now.

Pi Beta Phi girls (Pi Phis) are considered by most to be top-tier but also have a reputation as fake and superficial. Not a sorority bid. Chapters that are complacent about what they think can never happen will be caught off guard by the rise or groups that have their eye on the ball. Not to mention the hipster/edgy type. Among the negative sentiments about Chi Omega members is that they can be a bit isolated (maybe even exclusionary) and limit themselves to their own philanthropic and social activities over cooperation with other Greek-letter organizations. They take sisterhood seriously and try not to get caught up in drama, which might lead to the sentiment that they're aloof and snobbish. My roommate, whose dad owns half the state, went Pi Phi.
