(This is not necessarily historical fact, but makes a good story)
Its not a "fight." They are very good friends, and fellow trustees on our Endowment Fund.

They usually contribute in a very similar way. When one gets an idea, he usually leads with that idea. For example, one started our leadership school in Cabo (http://www.CaboAlpha.com/)

The other (who has a Phd in Economics) recently came up with a very complicated investment vehicle, and donated over $4 million to support it.

My understanding is that the top three are:
1) Phi Kappa Psi (almost $19 million)
2) Sigma Chi (just over $18 million)
3) Beta Theta Pi (over $13 million)

That information is 8 months old, so things could have changed.
