by: ??Why is AXO top house here? I know being top house includes a variety of different factors including academics, appearance, philanthropy, etc. And I know AXO has the top gpa but a lot of their girls are not attractive whatsoever, and it's not a small handful, it's like half of every pledge class. I was just wondering why they're considered top.

Top is a measure of how many girls want the house during rush and as a result who gets to select "the best" girls as measured by some combination of the criteria you mention: grades, wealth, connections, good taste, attractiveness, friendliness, involvement, personality, and charm. After rush, the idea is that these houses (as a result of their members) also create a "wish I was there" feeling among some.
Many will down vote this idea. But, 2500 girls vying for membership in 18 houses creates some form of "competition" - like it or not it's unavoidable.
Many may detest the entire process, and they are entitled to that opinion. But there's no denying it is a selective process, with some houses having more girls wanting in than they can accommodate, and a criteria for inclusion ( and exclusion).
AXO is a house that has a lot of interest at rush, particularly fo smart, involved, Alabama girls. And, as a result can be "selective". And, for those that think involved, smart, Alabama girls are where it is at, they are "top".
However, there are plenty of great pnms who don't align with there selection criteria. And, they are go elsewhere, by mutual choice. And are in houses that are seen as "top" for other reasons. \n\n\n\n\n

I am saying that AXO is a top house based on "much interest" at rush. I would even agree that they have the "most" interest. I assume someone has the numbers after the various rounds and while I don't, it's a reasonable assumption.
So, for the record, I am rating AXO "tops" based on observations.
But, that doesn't mean "everyone" is interested.
When it comes to looks, look how much hate the "looks based houses" get on here. The point is made in the replys above. Looks were NOT even mentioned in the comment that prompted the reply.
I am not sure where that (hate) comes from, but given its a trait that attracts such negativity, can you blame the good looking girls for wanting to stick together?
They do attract attention - both good and bad. Not "top", but selective as well.
Let the down voting begin.
But think Im being fair - giving AXO top billing but noting why some girls may choose to go elsewhere.

I would agree with you except for your last sentence. I know that some houses that recruit only for appearance say they're top tier with the guys. But seriously, appearance is only one of the criteria that most houses look at and that is why those houses are ridiculed on here.
