I do not see how anyone can even make an argument about which fraternity is the best on campus. The brothers of Sigma Chi are involved in all areas up the hill, the administration, student affairs, SAB, resident life, and academic honoraries. Last semester they had the highest average gpa in the entire greek system. Socially, Sigma Chi is the only fraternity that can throw parties that allow alcohol. Every party has a bumping, grinding dance floor with at least a 3:1 girl to guy ratio.

Sigma Chi used to be the best fraternity on campus, but lately not so much. They are riding on the coattails of their former members/alumni. Their recent pledge classes have been not up to their former standards. They can't have parties anymore which really hurts their social standing, and the student body's perception of them is that they are not involved up the hill. More of a drinking club than a true fraternity.

Pi Beta Phi has stumbled upon hard times. Sweet and respectable girls who are currently finding it hard to promote their house and sisterhood. Very involved in leadership positions and events up the hill. pi phis are seldom seen out at many parties and when spotted are usually huddled together. That being said they are a sweet group of girls who just need to step up and show campus what their house is about. Currently not as strong as the other houses.

KKG is not, as many accuse it to be, a divided house. It is a house that does have a lot of diversity but, just because girls choose to spend their free time differently does not mean that they don't share the core values of the house and cherish their sisterhood. KKG seems to be a house that is better understood from the inside. The girls are put together, proper, leaders on and off campus. These girls really love each other. They are proud of their house, which is where they get the snotty rep

I have been so impressed coming back to campus and seeing how unified these girls are and how polite they are to everyone they meet. It is refreshing knowing Chi Omega is such a hard-working house, who still love and look out for their sisters like each year before them. The positions they hold on campus are also very admirable. I want my daughter to be a Hillsdale Chi Omega!

If you want a real sorority with a genuine sisterhood you should look to the other two houses. As someone with friends in all three houses, the Kappas seem to only be concerned with image and appearance where the other two sororities actually have substance. They like to say that they're "Klassy", but I've never really seen that demonstrated by more than a select few. They should be less concerned with how many jerseys they're "friends" with and more concerned with their own sisters.

So much fun! I loved having them as friends! Some of my best memories were with Chi Omegas! With that said, I always felt their recruitment tactics were ignoble. HC girls choose Hillsdale, because they like a challenge. Why would they join a sorority that thinks they can buy their allegiance and sisterly devotion with alcohol and sloppy parties.

It takes a lifetime to build a reputation and a single act to destroy it. I witnessed how a sorority, in just four years, could fall so far. I'd feel more sympathy if the girls weren't so unfriendly and rude. Call it what you will, Pi Phi, but at the end of the day its just plain poor manners that plague your house. If Kappas are the ice princesses of Hillsdale than Pi Phis are the ice queens. Let this be a precautionary note to the other houses.
