But State is one of the places where being greek is probably going to have a real impact on your collegiate and alumni life more than some of the other schools on the list, and it seems to me, certainly a lot more than NC State and whoever else it was grouped with.
I'm not really arguing it's top tier, just that it might be better than you think.

I agree. I think it could definitely be higher...possibly grouped in with Arkansas in the in-between 2nd and 3rd.
It's hard to rank with an incredible accuracy unless you did your undergrad at every college and even then you'd have problems. But I think it's a fair assessment of the standings.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
