ranking based on this year's pledge classes

AXO / PM / ZTA
KKG / KD
XO / DDD / ADPI / AGD
PBP / DG
THETA / GPHI
APHI / AOPI / DZ

- This is how I'd rank the houses just based off of this year's pc, and I'd say each house can move within the "tiers"
- I'm not trying to hype up AXO in any way but honestly I know they did get a pretty good pc this year, they got a lot of top recruits (alot of the perfect on paper "well rounded" kind of PNM)
- PM and ZTA also got a fair amount of prettier top recruits. I know a lot of people like to hate on ZTA but I mean idk what it was this year but in terms of the "pretty beauty pageant girls" they got a good amount
- KKG, KD, XO, DDD, AGD are all basically the same. The only thing that still gets them good recruits is the fact that they went to high school with them. I'm not hating whatsoever but I think their pledge classes are pretty average and pretty similar to one another and I'd rank them lower but I know a bunch of y'all would have strokes
- ADPI and PBP lowkey bring the heat. They get a lot of the OOS top recruits that I think a lot of the other Southern based houses forget about
- DG, THETA, and GPHI all got a lot of good recruits too. Those three houses in my opinion are slowly climbing up in the overall ranks
- APHI... I'm sorry but just based on pc y'all are one of the worst. In all honesty APHI takes the grade risks and girls with bad high school reputations that other houses drop
- AOPI and DZ are just kind of stuck. They both had bad a bad rush this year

There is a huge misconception with Aphi now and its obvious that its other bottom houses trying to pull them down. Aphi got a great PC 16 and all the girls they wanted, their best and least problematic PC and even took girls that old row houses wanted. In the past Aphi has been known to take all the grade risks, qrs that zeta didn't take but this has changed. Houses like Gphi and DZ are taking "prettier" girls than they have in the past but they're the grade risks, qrs.

You can't rank pledge classes because every house goes after different girls. If everyone went after the same girls, then yes, you could rank them based on who got the most.

But if Zeta got the girls they want, Phi Mu got the girls they want and AOPi did the same, does that mean they all got top pledge classes? The answer is no.

This is how this year's rush went down:
- AXO probably did the best out of all the houses here. I know y'all love to hate them but this year they really did get most, if not all, of their first hand picks
- KKG & PM got a lot of their first picks too but not as many as projected. PM kind of flopped this rush, they were expecting to have one of the best pledge classes on campus considering they've been pretty popular among the PNMs and they had just opened their new house, but I guess that wasn't enough to solidify a lot of top recruits for them
- KD, XO, DDD, AGD were pretty average as usual. They tend to focus more on recruiting the typical "souther belle" kind of girl, and each house got their fair share of "good" PNMs. However, I will say that they usually tend to focus more on girls that come from their hometowns/high schools (especially KD and XO), so just because they end up getting them doesn't mean they got the "top" recruits
- ZTA & PBP were also pretty average. A lot of people think that just because a house gets pretty girls that that then means their pledge class is bomb, but a good pledge class includes more than pretty faces. ZTA did better than people were expecting considering they didn't have a house and their reputation tends to precede them and PBP went for some more smart girls this year
- ADPI, DG, THETA, and GPHI all did pretty well believe it or not considering they tend to be ranked lower.
- AOPI, DZ struggled a lot
- And y'all know the story with APHI

Finally someone with some sense
