That's what made my rankings so tough.

Louisiana in itself is an odd state and very different from the rest of the South. Throw in a top school and it's another world I think. It has an excellent Greek system but there's somethin unexplainable about it in my opinion.

I had Auburn ranked lower because of my own admitted bias. I've visited there and found it very good for greek life, but last year I met some fraternity guys that I believed to have been top tier at another fraternity house pre-gaming for the Arkansas-Auburn game. They weren't dressed for the occasion for the game and had some odd people that weren't respectful. They were definitely not 3rd tier guys, but not 1st tier at Arkansas either. Of course, that is just one anecdote and there are perhaps thousands that contradict it.
