Totally agree with you here. I don't think people are necessarily bumping THEM up in the rankings, I think some posters have bumped OR houses DOWN because they don't feel like being OR means you automatically get a boost in the rankings (aka KD, AGD, even KKG).

People also know what they have seen going trough and so it is more than just looks it would be looks personality and whatever.

I think it's just because the only real "ranking" you can make this soon after bid day is one based on how the girls look on the lawn. So houses that got really pretty girls like ZTA/APhi/PBP/DDD/even GPB are getting a huge boost but we won't know how they really compare to everyone else until the semester is over.

Zeta rushed very differently this year. They dropped every single grade risk and rushed more girls in state and involved. Although their new girls are beautiful, they also are great all around. I also heard they got almost every top African American girl that rushed. Huge props to them.

it doesn't matter how zeta rushed. cool, they dropped all girls below a 3.2... but in the grand scheme of things, a 3.2 unweighted high school GPA is still significantly low. zeta was also caught in that huge dirty rushing scandal. so i mean, sure they may be doing things differently but we also need to keep in mind that some of the things they are doing aren't honest.

zeta hasn't moved up in my opinion. all those posts about them being so great with like 30 up votes are from them. and it's fine to self rank. it's fine to love your house. and it's fine to want to share that. but at the end of the day, houses don't move up/down that significantly in the matter of just a few months... especially zeta. because we also need to keep in mind they have some of the worst grades on campus, they're not overly involved, they have a bad reputation, and a catty sisterhood.

^^^ all MY opinion. if you don't like it then that's fine. but that's how everyone who isn't a zeta sees things.
