I just abhor the "top/bottom" tier vocabulary. What makes one chapter "better" than another? I would love to see a study done... Show a photo of a chapter, no definable letters or colors lay them all out and have people rank.. I'll bet, based in looks, most chapters are very similar, but there are some "cookie cutter" houses out there. And I suppose tiers also play into other facets of the college community. I remember way back I went to a state school. There was a sorority, probably a mid to low "tier". But! Their claim to fame? They had the current miss Illinois in the house! She put her crown and sash on display during rush. You never know what type of girls are in the sea of smiling faces!
