I don't know that anyone was saying that all fraternities on all campuses were completely equal. Some chapters may have better numbers, or be more popular on some campuses, some chapters may even have better numbers and be one of national's "favorites" (nationals are a subject I know little about seeing as I'm a member of a local, but I suppose it's possible for the national organization to have at least a slight preferance to specific chapters). However, "top tier" implies that there is some set ranking system and that there is a universally agreed upon definition of what makes a "good" chapter. The point is that "good" , and "top tier" are rather subjective terms, what works for you might not work for someone else, and your definition of a "great" chapter may well be far different from anyone elses (and that doesn't just mean different from how people in the north think or how "liberals" think. There are probably people on your campus, guys you lived in the same building as your freshmen year, people you have class with etc. who don't see things the way you do, and who wouldn't want to join a chapter that you think is "good"). Just because you think something is "good" or "top tier" doesn't make it true.
