what are the real sorority rankings here?

"its" talked about???? what is talked about? By whom... a girls preference? shame. on. y'all.

your high horse there, sweetie. Shame on the mommas that gossip about where girls ended up. Like it or not, this is Mississippi, and even bigger places gossip like small towns in the pews every Sunday morning. It's a reality.

Must be a boring little town with small minds if all they have to gossip about is sororities. That's the reality sweetie.
or mommas that think they're still in one...bahahaha
those are the embarrassing ones.

I have to believe that you all don't see how silly you sound. Do you know that students that are not residents of the state of Mississippi attend MSU? Did you know that MSU - in an effort to increase national visibility and recognition - heavily recruits students from states other than Mississippi? These out of state students typically have outstanding academic credentials and/or athletic achievements. MSU has recently been very successful in these endeavors. Please don't hamper these efforts through his adolescent bickering. As an out of state student, I found all the sororities to be very very strong. However, the ones that the Mississippi girls are most attracted to are the ones that I found least appealing. The chapters seemed to be filled with cliques of girls from certain Mississippi high schools. And that's not a put down - they're really great girls - it just wasn't what I wanted. I knew I would be happy in either ZTA or DDD because they have a great reputation both in my state and nationally. Please help the MSU Greek system grow and move forward by acknowledging that each sororitiy has great qualities and that the out of state rushees are important assets to the chapters they join - even if their chosen sorority is not the one a girl from Indianola or Clarksdale would choose.

Seriously? KD pledges just as many Delta girls as Chi O and DG. Phi Mu would give anything to pledge Delta girls and even say that in a 2011 rush video on YouTube. Do you actually know how many "Delta" girls have been on the Homecoming Court, Homecoming Queen, SA officers, etc.? Your comment holds no merit at all. Grow up.

Just referring to the comment above....."most every delta girl goes Chi O or DG".
Not sure I would admit that! Must be those "Delta" girls that keep getting on here with their negative comments about the others.
And no Sweetie KD does not go after the delta nor does Phi Mu. There is WAY more out there in our big old world than that! HHHmmmmm, Atlanta, Memphis, Birmingham, Jackson, the Coast just to name a few! Homecoming Court and Queen are really what you're after? Oh yeah....You ARE a DG.

I didn't write that above but I am a KD and we have TONS of Delta girls and definitely fight 2 other houses for the best ones each year. And I'm pretty sure the girl above was mentioning the fact that in the past few years several members of Panhellenic Council, Homecoming Queen (who was a KD, mind you), 2 or 3 maids I think (and the past 2 Mr. MSU's for what it's worth), and SEVERAL Alumni Delegates, Roadrunners, OL's, and SA cabinet/committee heads are from the DELTA. So please, before you insult where I and many other outstanding MSU students are from, do your homework. The Delta girls go KD, DG, and XO because we are GOOD GIRLS and get into GOOD HOUSES. PEACE.

In response to "Wow" ... you are exactly right with your assessment of my comment yesterday!

So, what IS a Delta girl???? I'm guessing one which is triangular in shape..???? HAHAHAHAHAHA!

This is really very accurate. Chi O, KD and DG really want their chapters full of their friends from their high school. Sometimes they end up with an out of state girl because of really strong legacy connection or some other reason. Phi Mu ended up with lots of out of state girls in PC12, but just because the MS girls they wanted ended up somewhere else and it was the only way they could make quota. If you're from another state and you have good grades, recommendations and involvement in high school don't waste your time with these "Mississippi" chapters. Just read all those comments above to see what you can expect. ZTA, DDD and PI Phi are looking forward to meeting you!!!!! GO GREEK!

NONE of the above posts say anything negative about pledging out of state girls! They were simply statements concerning Mississippi girls. ALL sororities go after the top girls in state or out of state! The only disadvantage an out of state girl might have is not having "in house" connections (knowing active members) which can help or hinder a PNM.

2012 Homecoming Queen - Indianola; Freshman maid - Indianola; Junior maid - Greenwood; Mr. MSU - Indianola ... more than 1.

I was reading through this discussion thread and came across your comment above and had to make my correction ... SA currently has 1 member of Exec from the Delta (Hollandale) and during the previous year there were 3 members of SA Exec from the Delta (Greenville, Indianola, and Belzoni).

No the Delta does not have a strong hold on anything at MSU, as it shouldn't ... no region should. There is also NO REASON to make such rude comments concerning a particular region of any state. MSU is an outstanding university because students from all over the USA and WORLD come together to make it such.

I mostly agree with your order. I just don't think there's quite that many levels:

XO/KD (equal, good year for both)
DG/Phi Mu (both had less than stellar year, but most people would still put them here for now)
DDD/ZTA (fairly equal and both have had a very good year, either or both could move up. Changes just don't happen so quickly here)
Pi Phi
ADPi

It does take quite some time to change people's perceptions, but the reality is there are definitely shifts. XO and KD consistently do very well at rush and are well respected on campus. It's kind of a toss up after that though. Yes, DG and Phi Mu still did pretty well at rush this year (DG better than Phi Mu), mainly because they are perceived by rushees to be strong groups. They've had a strong reputation, especially in Mississippi, for a long time. But, if you ask most people in Greek organizations at State (or people that interact with sorority girls on campus and in various organizations) they would tell you that ZTA and DDD are often seen to be better supporters of Greek unity, are nicer and behave in a classier manner than either DG or Phi Mu. Both ZTA and DDD have had a very good year. We'll have to wait and see what that means during rush. A good year needs to lead to a strong rush for people's perceptions to change. And, no, I'm not a ZTA or DDD.

What was so wrong the DGs 2012 pledge class? What did they do? Could it be the older girls in the chapter blaming on the freshmen? I'm just extremely curious.
