what makes each "core 4" relevant
by: prefroshpre-freshman guy here. I've got a good group of buddies from high school (private prep school) in a fraternity and will most likely rush there. they've mentioned mixing primarily with "core four" sororities (mostly dg, theta, and kappa) and I'm curious as to what makes each one relevant. are the girls hotter or are they just stereotypes? answers from both frat guys and sorority girls welcome
#1 by: sorority
dg has mostly rich/jappy girls, theta is "hipster" and has a wider variety of girls, kappa is rich and fun to party with, and alpha phi has the most stereotypically girly and blonde sorority girls
the girls in these houses are generally hotter than in mid and lower tier houses but a lot of them are also just wealthy and well-connected
Comment#2 by: Frat guy
The girls is the core 4 are generally more attractive and tend to be rich. Not a huge drop off in looks when you drop down to the mid tier sororities (Pi Phi/Tri-delt/SDT) but not as many “stunners”. Lower tier sororities have few attractive girls but they do exist.
Guys care about the core 4 because of status, looks, and recruitment. Guys want to brag to their friends. If a frat can consistently have mixers (4+ C4 mixers per semester) with a core 4 strat or combo of core 4 strats, they basically get grouped into the upper tier which makes recruitment very easy. If you take a look around this website, every frat at the low end of the upper tier and top of middle tier constantly smear each other (Chi Phi/DX/Fiji/Chi Psi) trying to gain social status.

To the person above: I think that the original comment really only conveys some of the reasons people join top tier frats and “core 4” sororities. Some people may only be looking for status, but most of the people who join these houses are also looking for people who they have things in common with, and who they can easily get along and mesh with. Oftentimes that might mean having similar backgrounds (schools and culture which realistically can mean money and status) but also people who they can get along with. Due to the social “status” of people in the top tier frats/sororitys, they are usually very sociable people (some exceptions to that), and can actually hold conversations during recruitment that make people want to join their houses.

Basically the core four: rich, sociable, usually pretty
The upper middle (the next 3 sororitys): 2/3 of the above factors (i.e. fun and decent looking but only upper middle class, wealthy and sociable but not pretty etc.)
The rest: 1/3 or 0/3 if those factors depending on the rank
There are of course exceptions of people who slipped through the cracks (on both ends) but this is the general trend

The core 4 girls tend to be rich, which does not translate into being more attractive. There are attractive girls in all the houses and there are not so attractive girls in all the houses.
