Often the challenges of entering top-tier schools -- especially private ones make such a move impossible. Some organizations like DKE seem to have done so, limiting themselves to mostly prestigious schools while other organizations like PKA or Kappa Sigma seem to be able to put quality chapters together on virtually any campus in fairly short order.

I guess it depends on your organization's goal -- does it want to be small and elitist, or does it want to have a large and diverse brotherhood spread all over the country? Of course some organizations also try to be both.

I didn't go to a top tier school, most of us didn't. I think the greek system in general is better with us than without us, but feel free to disagree.
