I think the last one was in the early 1980s. I just thought his was a good thread to mention that there used to be a list... Currently, I can completely understand that many don't know the strengths of the NPCs not present on their campus or prominent in their region. Heller's list made me take note of Tri Delta, Kappa, Theta and Pi Phi -- even though they weren't on my campus (even though I was familiar with them due to high school friends joining at other schools.)

I think it is significant for that time. Currently, to speak of the top groups would be purely subjective, but in my opinion, it hasn't changed that much in 25 years.
