To keep this discussion in tangent with the original topic..
The houses that tend to be in the higher tiers tend to be their for several factors.
Many times its tradition, quality in recruitment, [sometimes] size, and even the $$$ that the alumni pour into the chapters for resources.
I wouldnt say that its parties that make "frats good" becuase there are strong fraternities at my campus that dont really throw a lot of parties (they dont need to...girls hang out their anyway) and there are some lower tier houses that throw awesome parties.
My school has lost 6 (and now possibly 8) fraternities in the last 4 years due in part to alchohol and partying. That negative publicity affected the entire greek system and those who did party responsibly had to scale back their social events to the point where the university asked them to serve punch and animal crackers! (not literally of course)
I dont have a problem with guys who "sit down and play bloody boardgames" since they're keeping my insurance costs down.
What are some of the positive and negative qualities that people notice in the top tier houses on their campuses? I think it would be interesting to compile this information to see if many houses are "up there" becuase they have recruited the ideal member...or becuase they just have the rep...
