"Best" Colleges and their Greek Systems

[Senusret I]

This morning, I was thinking about a few things. Prior to coming to GC, I had my own notions on what a "good" school was. I generally believed that to be the highest ranked schools in US News and World Report. I many ways, I still believe this to be true.

But coming to GC and seeing how people go apeshit over rush at a whole bunch of schools I had either never heard of or never heard much prestige about, I thought wow, I'm in some bizzaro world where state schools are considered "good" -- clutch the pearls.

I have also read studies which suggest that boys choose a school based on perceived prestige, and if that's true, then I definitely fit in that number.

That said, in the list compiling spirit of naraht and the subtle snobbery of oldu, I have compiled a list of the "best" colleges and what their Greek scene is like, with NPC, NIC, and NPHC data.

Feel free to chime in with your anecdotal data about the schools listed.

Do I have any particular objective here? I don't know. I am curious as to which of the highest ranked schools has the most robust and thriving Greek experience.

But we all know that the best school is the one which is best for the student who chooses it, just as the best fraternity or sorority is the one which the members choose for themselves.











gag barf, yeah right
