I heard Sigma Kappas are funny, smart, and hot.

Actually, its really weird, I've heard that about ALL NPCs. We must be some awesome ladies.

aw thanks everyone for your input . sorry if i offended anyone eek. didnt mean anything by it. ive already looked into most of the sororities and i was only asking because all of the sorority webpages said the same thing. like the exact same thing but rephrased in like 20 different ways.

What were you expecting, a list like this?

ABC is the best sorority everywhere. They only take size 0 blonde women whose daddies have millions of dollars. Maybe they'll take a brunette woman, but only if you resemble Elizabeth Hurley.
DEF is fat nationally. They actually seek fat and ugly girls.
GHI is popular with fraternities everywhere because they are slutty.
JKL is nerdy and only take girls with 4.0s and never go out.
MNO is diverse everywhere.

No one of any repute on GC will actually give you a list like that. Most NPCs nationally speaking, are quite similar. They will have a variety of chapters. You want to find which chapter is best for you; why cut out a few chapters based on what some idiot says on the internet when the chapter at your school would be a good fit for you. It is best to go into recruitment with a mind untouched as possible about the sorority reputations, although your original post makes me question your intent of joining a sorority.

hahahahahaha

Congrats, you're already learning.

In all seriousness...every single NPC has a chapter or 2 or 10 or 40 that are at the top of the heap on their respective campuses. Every single NPC has a chapter or 2 or 10 or 40 that are at the bottom of the heap on their campuses that girls would rather drop out than join. Even if you look at things like campus awards or the national sorority awards - they may have absolutely zero to do with that chapter's standing on campus.

It's tough to weed through everything when all you see is "Sisterhood! Scholastics! Service!" Coming from the inside I've taken a look and have sometimes gotten unfamiliar chapters from other campuses all blurred together.

Do go through Formal, that will give you a chance to meet each chapter face to face, and you'll get a better feel. Take copious notes.

As you look at each chapter, try to pick out what's different. Maybe their philanthropy? Maybe one leans toward general community service while another is specifically service to children? If the chapters include their fraternal history (if not, national websites commonly do), is there a difference in the purposes or the reasons the founders came together? You'll come up a few differences, and it'll get you in the gear of looking for them. Don't feel like you have to figure it all out beforehand - the people make all the difference in a chapter, and you'll meet them during recruitment.
