There are many things in life that can be ranked, but I don't believe that Greek organizations should be. What's the point? Not everyone is meant to join every organization. It's not like sports, where everyone's goal is to win games. Different organizations have different goals and appeal to different types of people.
And with these types of rankings, I just think it creates, in some cases, unrealistic goals for young men and women, and can point them in the wrong direction.

I'd really like to see someone compile a ranking using meaningful criteria and can definitely see the use in such an exercise

Really? What good do you see this doing?
Let's face it - for the most part, the groups that "win" have the most members and donate the most to charity. How else do you compare them?
"Oh, but you don't understand.. our symbol is the crown, and kings wear crowns! Lowly fisherman use anchors," or, "Well, you see, in a fight, I think a panda bear would CLEARLY take down a giraffe or a turtle. And don't even get me started on those damn squirrels. What do they even DO anyway?"
