And now that I've been clued into a little more about you, I really don't think I'm interested in proving anything to you. Those whose opinion I care about here know enough about me, and you - well, I think your screen name is most appropriate. So let's just drop the personal bickering here and get back on topic.

Southwest Texas is Arizona...hardly real Texas or Southern. Mind as well be Mexico, actually. I read SWTx and then looked up the Theta Tau chapter of Sigma Chi and it was only talking about Arizona State.
So again, you're not necessarily qualified to talk about something which is not on your radar screen or shoot my opinions down. Southern greek life is simply different. Texas State is not Southern. Unless you mean like Mexico. Then, yes it's very Southern. Texas States' KA chapter is home to Scott Grifo, but that's about as far as it goes.

I have a question - what if there is a situation where you have a "top" house who has taken a lesser pledge class (I think the term that the fraternities use is, "There are a lot of legacies in that pledge class.") Do you think that this can detrimentally effect the status of being on "top"?

Not really...in fact the term "there are alot of legacies in that pledge class" means that they don't ever expect that from the sorority and would continue having functions with them regardless of their looks...they're still a top sorority. It still looks good to have their letters with yours on the back of a shirt. Perhaps a continued poor rush could spell disaster but certainly not one....you would need at least four years of very poor rush to bring a top house down. And that just doesn't happen.
To the topic at hand,
Fraternities opinion is hard to come by when rush was before school. Now that it is after school starts, it matters alot more. The sorority which I was discussing previously happened to take a girl who was not up to....fraternity traditional standards, to put it nicely. I'm not specifically talking about looks. It drove away fraternities from having partys because no one wanted to have a party with that sort of girl. Rumor spread of this girl and things went downhill from there. My fraternity and sorority friends who went to school at the time acknowledge this.
