theta

I’m a pmn from Florida. I had heard Theta sucked here but I was really impressed with them today. The girl I talked to was so sweet and cute and their room in the stadium looked gorgeous did any other PNMs feel this way?

Really? Are you a pnm who didn’t like them? Or a girl in another house being nasty? Curious.

I liked them a lot as well! I am trying to go into every house with an open mind but it’s hard knowing what houses are top and which ones aren’t when trying to act like I don’t know

Theta is not as strong as many, but it’s like the SEC in football. Even our lower teams can beat most others. Theta is excellent. Just not as excellent as some others.

I’m a Theta and being in a bottom tier house has sucked sometimes but mainly it’s just because it’s frustrating that people don’t see how great my sisterhood is. I’m glad I ended up where I did. Just keep that open mind!

The other houses see how great Theta's sisterhood is and want to bash it because they don't have that in their house.

Saying theta isn’t excellent is almost inaccurate. They just don’t meet the dumb criteria a lot of houses have. They’re more involved than most houses and choose their own sisters over the machine. The other houses (mine included) will sell out their own sisters to go along with the machine. So what their members aren’t as hot? All of my Theta friends have cute boyfriends so it doesn’t really stop them too much .

Keep being awesome, Theta!!

Pan love from ur neighbors!!!

I think it's also worth mentioning that Theta has a great national reputation. Sorority membership does extend past 4 years, and Theta is one of the most established chapters. After you graduate you will have lots of chances to connect with other Thetas and such because it is so big. This is actually true of all the chapters at Alabama. Each one has a strong national reputation. I don't think a sorority like Alpha Sigma Alpha would do well here (no hate to them, they're just small and less well known). Will be interesting to see how SK does since they aren't at the same level nationally as the others. Anyway I got sidetracked, Theta = great nationals!!

I agree. Theta is a great national. Also Kappa, Alpha Phi, and Pi Phi. Very, very strong.

The stadium looked great and the color scheme was really pretty. They moved us around well and I was impressed. The bad: Conversation was awkward with the active asking me multiple times where I was from and not much else. Longest conversation of the day because she didn't seem comfortable. It made me uncomfortable but it did give me a chance to glance around. They didn't match me with anyone from my area or with any of my interests. Other houses had me paired with girls that I clicked with and had easy conversations but it seemed like they didn't try to pair me up. Looking forward to another meeting with a different group of girls to get a better feel.

My house doesn’t match girls up unless they’re tops..... so unless you have a lot of connections most of the girls rushing you have been random and you’ve gotten lucky that you’ve clicked

If you don’t think they matched you then they probably didn’t want you

I am sort of confused as well about Theta. I thought they seemed really nice today and I enjoyed talking to the girls I met. I am also sort of interested in the next round with them. Can't really see much difference between them and several other houses, so it is not clear to me why they are a bottom house.

Old alums and moms who went through in the 80s, 90s, and 00s when the machine became self important and out of control can't stand that theta has continues to thrive without sacrificing sisterhood and self respect. Their own houses made the weak decision to honor and obey even as things went off the rails with assaults, threats, coercion, and thug practices. Theta carried on without lowering themselves. The machine is nothing like that now and all they have is some botched SGA elections,homecoming, and myths and legends. Theta not only persisted but continues to recruit and retain girls who take leadership positions and are active all over campus. They are top quarter of the grade report and are reported to have a great sisterhood. They are friendly to everyone and well liked on the row. They did all this while the machine tried to make an example of them so the other houses stay in line. The bottom ranking is a threat to the others to do what we say or be bottom like theta. Problem is theta defies that and just keeps going. They get stronger every year because of their girls and their culture. All while keeping their self respect and sisterhood intact.

I'm not a theta but I am here as my niece goes through rush. This struck a nerve. I was disgusted when my house turned on our sisterhood to follow the machine and have respected theta ever since. A few of us tried to get us to break away but fear of social retaliation kept our house in. Alums here will know which house I'm in and remember. It split our house and there are women who will defend the machine forever because it makes them feel like they are on the right side of this wrong. This includes keeping the party line that theta is bottom. They tell their daughters and it stays alive for another generation. I love that theta continues to give a little "bless your heart" to the ranks by recruiting great classes and being involved.
