We had two that were equally strong but for different reasons.. TKEs and LXAs.
They were the two largest chapters and ran about the same size. They were tight rivals for Greek Week, Intramurals, Homecoming, etc.. they generally ran neck in neck and one of the two always won those things. The TKEs held a lot of leadership positions on campus and were more preppy. They had weekly happy hours and were always well liked. They had higher scholarship than the LXAs. They weren't quite as warm and friendly as the LXAs though and sometimes seemed more like a business than a brotherhood.
The LXAs strengths were more that they were really friendly and warm and well liked. Their philanthropy was known campus wide (A Gangsta Party/Kidnapping of RAs and student leaders who then had to raise "ransom" to get out.. the money for MDA) and was a lot of fun. Their brotherhood was more evident as they were truly really close .. often stopping everything they were doing at a party to sing "We are all good brothers..." or "Magic Carpet Ride" and they just seemed to have a really strong bond.
If the TKEs seemed a little closer and the LXAs had a few more student leaders, they would be almost perfect.
