All above are true, but the above do not answer why Thetas are highly though of but also ranked at the bottom. Honestly, they are "the woman makes the sorority, not the sorority makes the woman" house. First, as #4 mentioned, they are looking for quality women and are going to pick academics over looks, involvement over connections, and they don't care where you are from if you posses admirable qualities. If you are on board with this, you will rank Theta pretty high, hence the good comments you see. However, as you see on GR, there are plenty of houses that really value their in-state pull, or the exclusivity of connections needed to get into their house, or weigh looks heavily, so if you are looking for the status of a "hard to get into house" or a a beautiful house, Theta will be low on your list. Its all good, all these houses also have terrific qualities, just a different weight put on each. There are thousands of women in the Greek system, each has their own set of priorities. You definitely want to find the house that fits with what you value. Secondly, all sororities are pro-woman, but Theta asserts that agenda a little more than the other houses. As already mentioned, Theta is the only sorority that is not part of the Machine, and they will never join it as that organization is male dominated and really only allows women members to build their voting block power. Some member organizations make it a point to always put Theta last in every ranking. On the flip side, that extra focus on supporting women may be why Theta has such a strong sisterhood reputation. When it comes to recruitment, Theta is not going to offer PNMs any additional status, rather it seems they are are looking for PNMs with a track record that implies they can earn that on their own. However, they do offer a house organization that will strongly support their members. Unfortunately, some women really are looking for something different on bid day and are disappointed. TBH, if any PNM is crying or embarrassed on bid day at Theta, they really are out of sync with the core values of that house and their fellow PNMs and maybe should consider dropping.
