which sororities are the hardest to get into?

The top new row are pretty hard too.

The thing with the old row houses is they have big in state draw and all the inside members already have lists of who they want, so hard for true outsiders to get a bid. The new row houses are more open to outsiders bc they were mostly outsiders themselves, once. So if you are not already connected some how you most likely end up new row. Does not make new better or worse, or old row better or worse, just different sets of girls.

All sororities even old row take some OOS. Problem is it can feel cliquey to make close bonds if most of your sisters went to camp together. Depends on the sorority and the person though.

Maybe 70% of Old Row will consist of top in-state and Deep South + Texas girls. The rest will be filled with top OOS girls. "Desirable" Old Row like Tri Delt, XO, AXO, to some extent may be 70/30, all "top" PNMs, Kappa/KD with 70% top Southern girls, 20% average Southern, 10% top OOS, PM 50/50 top girls, AGD 50% top Southern, 20% top OOS, 30% average Southern.

"Desirable" New Row (Zeta, Pi Phi) might have 70% top OOS, 15% top Southern, 15% average OOS. ADPi is also sought-after (maybe not as much as the aforementioned) but it might be like 60% top OOS, 20% top Southern (usually legacies from strong non-AL areas) 20% average OOS). For everyone else, if they get a top PNM it might be because she is a legacy or has some really strong tie to the house. The rest of the average and lower PNMs get filtered throughout all the other houses. No real "bottom" house here. Just a lot of "average" houses. And of course, our average beats the best at most other schools.
