The shift in sorority rankings summer 2026

Things are definitely shifting, and it's about time someone says it. This probably won't be popular with the traditional "top house" crowd, but rankings are not what they were 5–10 years ago.

The same handful of sororities aren't automatically at the top anymore. Things have leveled out a lot, and honestly, almost every house could make a case for being considered top depending on what you're looking for. The gap between what people call "top" and "lower mid" is much smaller than many want to admit.

Some chapters are losing desirability. Some aren't very involved on campus. Others are becoming more visible and gaining momentum fast.

Based on what things look like right now:

Top:
ADPi

Lower Top:
Phi Mu, DDD, KD

Upper Mid:
XO, GPhi, Zeta, SK, AXO

Mid:
AGD, AOPi, DG, Pi Phi, AXiD

Lower Mid:
DZ, Theta, KKG

Bottom:
Tri Sig

Before everyone attacks the rankings, remember that the difference between the "top" and "lower mid" groups is honestly minimal at this point. Auburn recruitment has become so competitive that every chapter is getting strong girls, and the rankings are much closer than people think.
