The entire article builds up this Greek System (that I don't think really exists). It does a great job of playing to all of the stereotypes. At the end, it knocks them down and seems to say "Rush Beta!".
It's an underhanded way of saying "We are cool, all the rest suck". I like that the author said that there ARE good houses on campus, I just don't think it was appropriate for him to use his position to mention that his house was indeed one of these great chapters.

I totally agree. He makes it sound like everyone else just bids for the numbers/what they can get out of you (i.e. helping raise chapter GPA) and Beta is the only one who cares about who you are as a person. I know nothing about the campus culture there, so he could be right, but I kinda doubt it. This just makes him look like he's bitter than his chapter got a small pledge class.
