Homecoming is a big deal for us at Nebraska (one of the guys who was most outspoken about morals and ethical behavior while in the house even got caught up in stealing other houses' event sign in sheets to help us win one year). Because of numbers of chapters the sororities are kind of at advantage. But because of our participation over the years, we're definitely considered a first tier chapter in that regard so that we'll be paired with a sorority for sure and only have a much smaller fraternity join us (usually an MCGLO group, who are historically sketchy about participation). Lucky for us when we were rebuilding, our lawn is perfect for lawn displays so even when we were smaller, we had an advantage for our guys to get a solid pairing. There are a lot of older guys who point to us winning HC in '99 as our announcement to campus that we were back.

Yeah, absolutely agree with the superficialness. Every year for the past 6 or so, one sorority who shall remain nameless to protect the obese, has called our chapter within days of transitioning new officers in an attempt to secure a football block partnership for the following season. It's become a standard chapter joke that the new social chair's first official duty is managing to dodge that request.
