If Panhellenic voted to implement random pairs perhaps it could happen. Then again, I wonder if fraternities were "forced" to invite certain chapters over if they would be gracious hosts. Perhaps a "top tier" chapter and a "bottom tier" chapter invited at the same time would be as eye opening for these men as it was for ForeverRoses when she met the chapters' recruitment chairs.

This whole "tier" thing is nonsense. Look each Fraternity and each Sorority are different. It seems the "tiers" are only based on parties, not the true makeup of the group -- he who parties the hardest is "top" tier. The reality is some houses (both boys and girls) are party animals -- think Animal House. Others are more grade focused. Some have lower key parties. Some do good philanthropy. Etc. etc. etc. Unfortunately (or fortunately) like minds tend to sick together. You can't pair the academics with the party animals -- it won't be all that much fun. Find your place and go with it.
To answer the question though, my kid who is in a "top" house paired up with a "lower" house to run a charity event and even had other schools involved. It worked out pretty good. Would they "party" with each other? Probably not because they are different types of people. By the way, Kid's house raised the most money -- so I guess they are top.
