Considering the amount of chapters that they have, 66% is an AMAZING PERCENTAGE to have (remember, this is TOP HOUSE, it doesnt even include the "good house" chapters), but a far cry from 99%, or even 75%.

I agree with most of the rest of your post but I am calling bullisht on this one. Either she made this statistic up or it was taken from an extremely limited sample size of a survey of her own design. I kinda doubt there's any national sorority out there who's taking surveys on whether or not their chapters are viewed as "top houses," especially since most national officers realize the irrelevance of this statistic. What could pass for "top chapter" on some campuses wouldn't even pass some sororities' minimum member requirements. Other times a house could be considered "bottom tier" and still have girls who with extraordinarily high GPAs and good looks who are very involved on campus and do lots of philanthropy, but compared to other groups on campus they are just not "as good."
I thought we were all mature enough to handle this discussion, but apparently we aren't. And really, the turn this debate has taken makes us look like idiots. Clearly Kappa and DG and Tri Delt don't comprise the top tier at every university out there. Some? Sure. Lots? Maybe. All? Nowhere close. The same goes for Sig Ep/SAE/Kappa Sig/Sigma Chi on the fraternity side. For anybody who thinks that they do, it just makes you look extremely ignorant of Greek systems outside your own. What goes for your campus or your state or even your entire geographic region varies drastically.
