Great question!

"Tier talk" (also known as "tent talk") is gossip. It is an implication that certain sororities are "better" or "more popular" than others. It's all based on local perception, so yes, the chapter of ABC may be considered top tier at State University and maybe lower tier at Preppy College. However, as early as a semester later or a couple of years down the line, the perception flips again. It's all local gossip. Your daughter is wise to ignore it and go into recruitment with an open mind during each round.

Good luck!
