I'd allow that all of the pre-Civil War nationals prominent today have assembled great wealth. They either have it invested, or, thay have access to it through alumni channels. Those would include SAE and Sigma Chi, Beta and Phi Delt, Phi Psi, DTD, DKE, Chi Phi, Theta Chi.
In the 19th Century there was a handsome bevvy of nationals very well established at the finest schools, but for whatever reason their comparative national standing declined over the next hundred years. They include Zeta Psi, Chi Psi, Alpha Delt, St. Anthony, Psi Upsilon, Sigma Phi and Delta Phi: still elite today but not as well known or widespread.
Those of us in post-Civil War fraternities feel that our organizations have done just fine. What we lack in old money we've made up for in terms of aggression and fraternal spirit.
