Just spoke with my daughter is she is very happy. Had a very good day. She listed her 3 favorite houses. Her number 2 choice as we talked about earlier is not considered one of the "good Houses" at UK but she really liked it.
I can't wait to find out where she finds her "home"

The use of "good" is bugging the heck out of me. You know that there are people here who are sisters of those sororities you don't think are good.

UKCATFAN, sent you a private message. As far as "good" houses and "bad" houses as UK, I often think it is we mommies who get more caught up in it than the girls. Every girl, in every house at UK is beautiful, most of them know how to bet on horses and when March Madness comes around, they can burn a couch with the best of them. Kidding of course on that last point.

Shellfish, I know what you mean by the use of the word "good" being used to describe a chapter house. It is an uncomfortable word in this context because as GC'ers say all the time EVERY SORORITY IS GOOD! But, for various reasons, some sorority chapters are considered more desirable than others on a specific college campus. But, what is considered a less desirable sorority at one college, may very well be considered the MOST desirable sorority at another college! Go figure! And, really, all sororities as more alike than they are different!

well here it is 2:00 in the morning and I cant sleep.
I did not mean to offend anyone by using the words "good house". I was using this to say this was how they are ranked on Greek Rank. This house is just not ranked as one of the top 4 houses on this site. It is not my opinion about the house since I don't know any of the houses. Obviously my daughter does not feel that way either because she absolutely loves this house. I did not know anything about sororities when my daughter said she wanted to join one. I have been coming on this website and Greek rank to get an idea about sororities. My daughter on the other hand did not look at any of these websites because she did not want to go in with any preconceived notions about any of the houses.

Go to bed, nervousmom! You need your rest too!

FYI Greek Rank is total garbage. Completely without a shred of truth or decency. Unfortunate opportunities for some immature people to self rank in a positive way, and to also degrade other sororities. Hurts all greeks in my opinion.

Please, please do not rely on that other web site for information! All you have to do is read the side notes to know the site is untruthful and hurtful.

@nervousmom. That is "The Site Which Shall Not Be Named." To mention it will move it higher in the search engine rankings, which only makes it more visible. It's worse than tent talk, nothing but slanderous libel from anonymous bullies, haters, and rejects. Only people who were afraid of another chapter would post on there, and it kind of makes you wonder just why they are so afraid that they have to take the other house down.

KyKKGviaFlorida · #54 08-15-2012, 08:17 AM

Don't get me started on Greek Rank. I am a UK Alum and I have looked at that site. It's horrible and inaccurate. There are no "good" or "bad" houses at UK. You should have followed your daughter's lead and come in to this process without preconceived notions. I REALLY HOPE YOU ARE NOT TELLING HER THAT A HOUSE IS GOOD OR BAD. Rush is emotional enough without having your parents put pressure on you to get in a "good" sorority. I will say it again. There are no "good sororities" at UK; only houses that are a good fit for your daughter.

The dreaded waiting game...this is not one of my better traits

I'm glad the girls get to sleep in a little longer this morning but it's killing me waiting to see what her party schedule looks like for today!!! Good luck to all the girls and mom's!

MaggieXi · #56 08-15-2012, 08:29 AM

Please don't pay any attention to "the site that shall not be named" - delete it from your browser. Any site that "ranks" organizations by allowing randoms on the internet to write hateful things is not reliable and is baseless. If you want to learn more about each organization that your daughter has been invited back to, take a look at their national websites, their chapter websites and if they have alumni websites for your area - check those out too.

Hahah. I had never heard of this greek rank before. When I checked it out, I literally laughed out loud. First off, it doesn't even have all groups listed at several schools I looked at. The comments were laughable. VERY laughable. I'll have to go back to this site next time I need a good chuckle at the ridiculousness of it .

UKMOM14 · #58 08-15-2012, 09:39 AM

Just heard from my daughter and she said the list comes out at 12!!!! Guess it's going to be a LONG morning for this mama!

nervousmom · #59 08-15-2012, 09:41 AM

You are all right. It is a very ridiculous site but when you sift through all the garbage and self ranking, there are a few tidbits of information. Greek chat has been by far the most helpful to me. I had no idea about sororities since I was not in one. Greek chat has let me help my daughter prepare for recruitment without giving her any ideas on what sorority to choose. My daughter has always been very independent and will make her own decisions. The only reason that I mentioned about different houses was to let others know not to decide based on what others say. Just like my daughter you need to form your own opinion.

My favorite are the comments like "AKA? That's not even a sorority we have on this campus". It should be pretty clear these people are clueless.
