No

You have no idea who any sorority had as a top PMN. Stop pretending you do. Likes on Insta mean NOTHING.

Some of these I agree, some of these I disagree, but with each house getting over 100 new girls, it's impossible that we saw all the same girls while also having our own bid days. Overall, I think the quality of PNMs this year was great so every house got a number of beautiful, smart, involved girls so even houses I thought slipped still got their fare share of lovely new members. Some just really stepped up their game!

AXO: Seems like they got a good number of nice, pretty girls who are already going to be involved on campus, but no real standouts that I've seen.

ADPi: Surprisingly much cuter girls, reminds me of their PCs from a few years ago.

AGD: Frankly kind of boring, but far better to be safe and cute than try to be something they're not.

AOPi: Surprised with how well they did! I think their new house definitely helped them.

APhi: No matter what anyone says, any evaluation will be controversial. Personally, I have always thought APhi benefits from the "cheerleader effect," where they definitely have had unattractive girls every year but they do a good job of hiding them. This year was really going to determine their trajectory, and they got an even spread of stunning and less attractive girls, with probably more atypical APhi girls than usual. Notably, I did see some racial diversity, which is always a good thing and shows me they're heading in the right direction.

Chi O: Seem very similar to AGD this year, in that they're kind of unremarkable. I'd have loved to see some more diversity.

Tri Delta: Definitely got some hot girls! They got another good PC in my eyes.

DG: I only noticed a couple girls who went DG but they were all very pretty. Hopefully they got some fun personalities to bring them out of their shell.

DZ: Unlike AOPi, I think they didn't get the boost from having a new house that they were expecting.

Gamma Phi: Got a ton of hot girls. Maybe they're swooping in and grabbing the girls that would have normally gone APhi.

Theta: Not having a house didn't seem to hurt them! I think they got some great girls who would have otherwise fallen through the cracks or gone SK.

KD: Arguably made the biggest comeback and success this year. Saw a ton of stunning girls.

KKG: I'm glad they took some standout sophomores, but overall I wasn't as impressed as I usually am by them.

Phi Mu: Everyone's saying they didn't get outstanding girls, but their "average" girls are another house's outstanding. They didn't surprise anyone like some other houses did, but they clearly got the girls they wanted.

Pi Phi: I was less impressed by them this year. I think ADPi stepped it up and Pi Phi took a back seat to them this year. Cute girls, but no one stunning or big names.

Zeta: Once again, got a great group of beautiful girls. New house certainly helped. Definitely top new row.

So by this, no one did well except for ZTA and XO. You have lost your mind. PM did great and got some in house from others, same as AXO who did better this year, DDD was strong as well. Is this just based on looks? If so, out of 2000 girls there were only 300 or so decent girls? They went ZTA and XO? Stupid as hell.

Better than normal: DDD, KD, AOII, ADPi, Theta, GPhi, DG

Normal: Chi O, AGD, Phi Mu, Zeta

Not what I expected: APhi, DZ, Pi Phi

The “normal” chapters didn’t do poorly, but their normal would be an amazing pc for a different chapter. “Not what I expected” isn’t bad, just not a huge bump as we predicted.

ALPHA Phi pulled a huge pledge class with some great girls. That's what most of us were hoping for them...so compared to the negatives on here,they did far better than expected. Maybe not typical,but better than predicted for this recruitment . I imagine they are thrilled.
