So introduce them to all of greek life. It makes little to no sense to only show the biggest ones and say they are the best. Just because some of the organizations focus on expansion does not mean they are the best. Also if you are going to say that you are introducing high schoolers to greek life then show them all parts. Your list does nothing other than superficially put a ranking into the reader's heads that these are, for some subjective and superficial reason, better than other organizations. You completely ignore 16 other organizations in the NPC as well as all the other councils. You are simply not introducing greek life and not only that, way to perpetuate stereotypes with the image on your rebuttal. Yes, it's from a popular tv show, but come on. There wasn't a better picture? Also your idea that people are reading too far into a top ten list is ridiculous. If the list is to introduce high schoolers to greek life then they will absolutely read that far deep into the list. They have no reason not to read that way. People who are familiar with greek life, who wouldn't need the introduction, would read the list as subjective and in the way you mean.
