Maybe some of you misunderstood my post. I'm not trying to say that those four criteria are what girls should use to choose their sorority... not at all. Those are not the most important things and they certainly are not the only things that matter. You could choose a house that meets all those characteristics and have a pretty "miserable" sorority experience if the girls in the group can't get along, or if they're just "not your type."
The way I read this Happygurl's question, it sounded to me like she wanted to know how to quicky figure out which houses were considered strongest on her campus... "Strongest" in terms of general reputation and the respect that the group gets from other greek groups and from all the students at that school. Maybe my four points apply better to smaller colleges, but I think they are valid for a rushee trying to figure out which houses are generally held in the highest regard by their campus. That's not to say that those houses will be the best ones for that individual. Maybe a house that's not as "cool" (or whatever shallow word you want to use) is really where she feels like she belongs. This is obviously the place for her.
