Yes, there is. And when we're talking about "tiers," however you measure them -- popularity, resources, size, prestige, visibility, stability, attractiveness -- the locals blow the nationals out of the water, especially when it comes to guys' groups.

FWIW, I'm a member of the "who gives a F*&$ about tiers" school of thought, but I stand by the point I was originally trying to make, which is that national powerhouse groups like Sigma Chi and KKG are NOT at the top of the totem pole on anything close to every campus in the East.

There was an article in The Nation years ago about rush and they talked to some of the KKGs at Yale. They said that they were in shock when they visited their sisters in Cali because it was so opposite of what their experience was - that the national sororities at Yale were like an antidote to the school's selective societies. In effect the nationals were made up of the girls who lacked the connections to get into the school societies.
