Greek rankings
 

Stumbled upon a website today... it's a guide for colleges, etc., and in ranks everything (including how hot the girls are)... but it does a pretty long list of greek life rankings, on a letter grade scale. What do you think?

Auburn got an A+ in girls, an A- in guys and a B+ in greek life.

I agree on the greek life grade, but I'd like to know who decides what grades are given in each category!

edited to add: parking as a B+? YEAH RIGHT!!

Arizona State is not even in this guide!!

These are a few of my school's rankings:

Academics B- (Yikes! :eek: )

Greek Life A (I can see that, we have a pretty strong system)

Guys A- (Ehh I dunno about that ;) )

Girls A- (Hah, we should get an A+ :p )

Diversity D (Wow, that's bad...I had no idea)

Parking D- (THIS CATEGORY DESERVES AN F!!! We have the worst parking ever!)

Safety and Security A+ (Ok that scares me, if my campus is that safe I'd HATE to know what other places are like....)

Hard to say what constitutes a grade you know. Like why is Nebraska a B in Greek Life?

With the info they give here it just seems like a tough sell. If they explained what went into their rankings then there would be something to discuss.

We got:

A- for academics
A for athletics
B+ for diversity
B+ for girls
B for guys
C+ for parking
B for Greek Life

Perhaps the methodology is discussed in the book--encouraging people who are serious about spending $6 on fluff to get it. Otherwise, it seems like a rip. A fun to read rip, but a rip nevertheless.

My school isn't listed, but that's no surprise b/c we are a smaller, private university.

WTF?
 

as said ASU isnt even listed. How can the number one party school, as ranked by playboy, not even be listed?

Ohio University isn't listed either

Dani! That's so funny because I discovered that site yesterday while I was trying to find out how to order an official transcript.

B+ girls? I think that's rather low but I agree with the B- men. I think the D+ for parking is waaaaay too high, though.

Tracy-
Some random ranking, don't remember, could've been playboy, about a year ago had us ranked in the top 10 for girls!

You're right about the parking though.

Greek life gets a B, while a school like Auburn gets a B+???? Go figure. We're just slightly below Auburn? haha

URI isn't listed either, which I find strange because they were the #1 party school (although that was like 10 years ago, not a party in site by the time I got there...).

Wisconsin got a B for Greek life, which I'd say is overall about right . . . but I wonder what they're using for criteria. The overall strength and size of the system? What they offer to students? Percentage of Greek students? Greek students in positions of power and influence? Quality of parties :p ?

Also, I found some of the numbers to be EXTREMELY arbitrary. For example, the University of Minnesota got a B+ in diversity while Wisconsin got a D. I've attended both schools and I can tell you that the only difference in diversity is that Wisconsin is actively trying to make their campus more diverse whereas Minnesota is perfectly content to stay 90 percent white. Some other numbers were just as random.

Indiana University
 

We got:

Greek Life A
Girls A
Guys A+
Athletics A+
Diversity C-
Parking C (should have been an F! It is 5 kinds of horrible at IU!)
