I would contend that there is a management/marketing/PR problem at this school that IS solvable. True, it would take someone more savvy than me, but I think for a system to achieve near parity and the growth some campuses have seen in the last several years, you have to have a Greek Life director who is nagging the chapters about mixing up their social schedules, getting everyone involved in each other's philanthropies and nixing the cat-fights. And include in that helping the chapters with member retention. Without that, as 33girl said, you're left with SBH.

Maybe balanced tiered, moderately balanced tiered and heavily tiered? If only 1 chapter out of more than 10 is the least desired and most girls would take 9 or more of the others, that is extremely well balanced. With 3 (again 10+) we could call it moderately tiered, and then we have the "these girls need to get over themselves" campuses. But I still say if it's YOU getting cut, it's competitive.

I would say that puts most Big 10 schools at Moderately Tiered. I can't tell with the SEC schools because they seem to have really strong parity, but that may be a paper thing that doesn't translate to real life.

But it still doesn't answer how you tell a girl she's going to a heavily tiered school, that every chapter has great things to offer and to get over herself about being too good for any but the top 3 chapters.
