<p>how are the sororities there? does it become a big part of your social life or is it just like any regular “club”</p>

<p>can anyone kind of explain the main sororites there and what they are like?</p>

<p>thankss!</p>

<p>Rush is in winter, not spring. And there is a lot of controversy over that video, but it’s pretty funny, I think.</p>

<p>What are the reputations these days of the different sororities? Wondering specifically about Kappa, Theta, Alpha Phi, DG and AChiO.</p>

<p>Personally I think the sorority rush process isn’t all that different from what it’s ultimately like when you go on job interviews. Same difference … people meet you and score you and you mutually decide whether you’re a good fit.</p>

<p>that video makes it seem like NU is a typical high school or something… big popularity/beauty contest</p>

<p>It was about the sorority rush system, not NU as a whole. And it was just one view of the system.</p>

<p>@pizzagirl:</p>

<p>Kappa: rich **<strong><em>es, for the most part. Think desperate housewives rewound to their college days. generally the ‘hottest’
Theta: closest NU has to a ‘typical’ sorority. Generally extremely pretty (at least for NU), also rich, less *</em></strong>*y than kappa with some exceptions. most of the thetas I know are sweethearts.
Alpha Phi: lots of theater girls, generally fun girls in general. Has a problem with slightly dirty rushing and leaves more girls crushed than probably any other house despite not being kappa/theta/tridelt.
DG: known for having a lot of jewish girls. some are pretty cool but others are hugely obnoxious. they party a lot.
AChiO: the ‘smart one’, i think it has the highest gpa? it has a pretty big range; a lot of girls are pretty and fun and chill, but they also have some really awkward girls … but from what i can tell the first group seems to be running the show lately.</p>

<p>Kappa is NOT considered the hottest, nor are they they *****iest. </p>

<p>I’d say Theta is the hottest. Tri-delt are not nearly as good as their reputations, and they’re the *****iest to boot. </p>

<p>KD are sort of off-beat and cool.</p>

<p>Chi-O are, unfortunately, as bad as their reputation, sweet girls though.</p>

<p>Generally, don’t judge someone based on their house, but do judge the houses based on their people.</p>

<p>I see no reason to hide it: I’m a new member in Alpha Chi (aka AChiO - not to be mistaken with ChiO), and based on what I have seen from spending a considerable amount of time with these girls, Alpha Chi is a very diverse group of down-to-earth, extremely witty and funny people. They don’t fit the stereotypical image of sorority girls, but they definitely know how to have a good time.</p>

<p>Though I have my opinions about some of the other sororities, it really wouldn’t be fair to share them because they don’t carry much weight.</p>
