U. Alabama 6 inactive, 15 active **

In a few years this will be 4 inactive and 17 active after Alpha Phi and DG colonize. That is if all our current chapters stay active.

I always knew that there were tiers among sororites at my school but I never knew there were national tiers until I started seeing these threads and some of the self-important comments within it. Seriously though? Some of you really care which sororities are the strongest nationally? It just seems like a way for grown adults to wield a big stick long after graduation which I personally find sad.

Maybe the lack of a big stick is the issue.

My question would be this: Do these statistics show "new" chapters among the statistics.

What I mean is that when I return to Ohio University, there are some houses that weren't there when I was a student way back when.

So, do the statistice identify new groups that have failed as well as more established ones?

There can be a number of reasons for a chapters failure -- not always having to do with relative strength of the system as a whole on campus.

Specifically, in terms of OU, the "new" president (of about three years) is a BGLO member, whereas the former president was not particularly supportive of GLO's.

Also, when was the list compiled.

Here's a link to a list of active GLO's and Colonies at Ohio:

Agreed. The implication/suggestion of international tiers with the stats and commentary is what makes people angry. It's "tent talk" on an international level, and it contributes to why certain NPCs are invited to present/colonize at certain campuses.

Yeah, I haven't been here a year yet and I can already identify several GCers (alums) who are guilty of contributing to this over and over and over. It's extremely unimpressive.

What's even more sad/pathetic, some of the biggest tent talkers are older alumnae who rushed at very uncompetitive schools. If they rushed at a competitive school, they very likely would've never been given a bid to their organization. I don't know if it's insecurity or what. But puffing up your own organization and trying to put down (even if not directly) other GLOs is tacky to the utmost extreme. The people most into sorting out "eliteness" are those who came from very UNelite chapters.

I live in Atlanta which is overflowing with women who are sorority alums from competitive schools such as UGA, Ole Miss, LSU, Bama, etc. These women will talk up their own collegiate chapter but do not mention their sorority on a national level and would NEVER put down another NPC sorority based on "national reputation." These women come from popular chapters at competitive schools and have all the right in the world to brag but yet they don't. Some of the people on here constantly brag but yet come from uncompetitive schools where someone with the personality and looks of Marla Hooch probably could've gotten a bid from the most popular chapter there.

I too would like to say thank you for putting a 'name' on his threads. This is how I've felt about them and I'm not even NPC.
