I guess personally I just feel that things like involvement, grades, and sisterhood outweigh something as antiquated as tradition. I think KD is probably one of the most deeply rooted houses in history which in some aspects is great but in some in some aspects it also hurts them... Like how their stubbornness to pledge a majority of instate girls leaves them completely ignoring well qualified OOS girls. And the OOS girls they do take are (most of the time) subpar. I know 2 KD's and they're very fun girls but they're extremely catty. I just seriously don't see them as a top house. AXO and PM acknowledge that a house can't be strong with solely instate girls and so they've expanded and they compete hard for really well rounded girls... Can't say the same for some of the other OR houses. Oh also, KD is very uninvolved in the Greek community, they've skipped out on Derby Days multiple times now and didn't they like make a terrible homecoming pomp a few years ago? I'd agree that Kappa puts on a good rush... However, I don't feel it shows in their pledge classes. Don't get me wrong, I know they get top PNMs every year but from what I've seen the rest of their pledge class is weirdly very mixed for a "top" house. There are a lot of girls I've met that I genuinely wonder how they got a bid because they just don't play the part. And one good pledge class does not automatically bump DDD up in ranks... If having a good '17 pledge class is going to be reflected in ranks then bump up PBP, GPhi, and Theta. I think DDD is a very solid house but they're upper mid at best in my opinion... There's just something that they just don't have to be considered a top house, maybe it's just their lack of significant prevalence on campus? Idk I can't exactly put my finger on it. And I think XO could be a top house if you heavily consider grades and involvement. The biggest area they need to focus on is appealing to OOS girls... They kind of have the same issue KD has in terms that both houses would rather have an average girls from Alabama than a well rounded girl from NY.
