I don't doubt the rankings are basically accurate although I do sometimes wonder how people can get impressions to discern among different tier groups that they don't really associate with.

I would think that within your own tier, you'd actually know, but beyond that, how would anyone know about groups that they weren't having socials with who weren't clearly outstanding or on the brink of folding?

I've said this before, I think: the rankings may do disservice to the kind of journeyman groups that are a pleasure to be in and make college more fun but aren't really dazzling folks in the first tier. Guys and girls who aren't going to get bids to the top groups (because of lack of connections or whatever) might really benefit from looking at these groups in some other context other than just as third tier or whatever.

It's particularly true for girls who don't really end up having that much control over rush. If you aren't getting a bid to a higher tier group, what good does it do to know in advance that the group that wants you is "bottom feeder" in the eyes of a guy who graduated three years ago or even that the group is bottom half of the second tier?
