Chapter Reputations everywhere..

I was just wondering, do all sororities have the same type of girls and reputations at each of their chapters all over?
i know at UT Austin, Texas Tech and Texas A&M, the same sororities basically have the same reps etc at all three schools.
Are some sororities stronger in certain areas or what?

For example, down here, Pi Phi is fancy, DGs are 'nice girls', ADPis are smart, and TriDelts are pretty, and it seems most places I've heard AZD is a small chapter. (i'm mentioning these as a reference point)

Are these true nationally? Regionally? Or does it vary purely school to school? Would be interesting


just wondering!

ps- this is not meant to offend, i'm genuinely interested if the sororities are the same nationally or different...i'm not spouting off rumors.

No, they aren't the same at all schools.

We have two chapters about an hour from each other in this area that are quite different.

The rest of what you said is rumor and not worth responding to.

Sums it up completely!

Every chapter everywhere is the same. Aren't you aware that all Greek stereotypes are true and sorority girls are the same everywhere?ADPi in Tennessee will be the same as ADPi in Canada. If Alpha Chi is struggling in Texas, they're struggling in Idaho.
I don't even know if there is an Alpha Chi chapter in Idaho.

That was sarcasm if you missed it. Why would chapters be the same everywhere when women are different everywhere?
I should probably stop posting when Im exhausted,irritated with the kids, and haven't been around adults all day...

i love how everyone is so nice here.
its not like i said anything bad about the chapters...

I would look on Delta Gamma's national site, follow the links of chapter websites if they're there. That will give you an idea of the diversity of your own org around the country. You may even want to do that for other chapters if you're that curious. Reputations are often perceptions that are false, and are varied everywhere. This is common sense, which is why questions about reputations aren't always well received, or perceived as rude.

Man if I had a penny everytime one of "these" threads popped up I'd be one rich lady.

The GL mods know what to do.

Nope not even anywhere near to close to being true. Great example is PiPhi at Nebraska and at Creighton. Two schools only about 50 minutes away, with a lot of girls from Nebraska. The UNL PiPhi's are party girls, just wild...the Creighton girls, particularly the ones I know, very VERY reserved, definitely good, down to earth girls.

Now some national organizations are relatively stronger in certain areas. I know that Beta Theta Pi has a great presence in the Midwest/Great Plains and Great Lakes area (so NE, KS, MO, OK, OH, MI, IL, etc.) while we're not as strong comparitively to other organizations in places like the Northeast and the South.

One more thing that prevents organizations from having a national reputation is the fact that Greek systems in the north and south, east and west are different and made of different types of people.

Now that said, the arguement could be made, in a very VERY general sense that some organizations do have a reputation that kind of permeates the history and thus the organization today - some of it may be based upon the principles of the organizations. But that obviously can't go across the board. I think for Beta there is a sense of trailblazing, being leaders in creating change. I also think that the stereotypical Beta is a intelligent guy. But I know that there are plenty of members who would be a stretch to apply that stereotype to (I know several in my own chapter even).

On the flip side, Beta was the fraternity that was made fun of in Animal House as the Omega Theta Pi house, the very old school, self-important, and pompous group. And I think that some of that can be accurate.

Other groups I can think of with a sort of a reputation: Kappa Alpha as southern Gentlemen (or racist good 'ol boys).

TKE are commonly seen as Greek rejects (the whole "if you can't go greek, join TKE) and a lot of people point to their expansion system and their organization at the national level will point to those things as evidence.

This isn't meant to incite anything, just how some groups tend to be seen. I think it's probably safer if everyone just points to their own organizations reputation, so long as they are honest about it.

What does it mean when you say Pi Phi's are "fancy"?

Just curious.
