Numbers Determine Top Houses?

You ALWAYS misspell NPHC and I have asked you repeatedly to observe the proper spelling.

Do it once, it's rude, but can be forgiven. Do it numerous times, it's blatant disrespect.

And for the record, I agree with everyone else on GC who has accused you of being disrespectful of orgs other than NIC fraternities.

As usual, when you get a compliment you have to be a smart ?

Your s--- does get tedious at the very least.

How is misspelling NPHC on many occasions complimentary?

We can go head up, Tom, and you will never prove that you have been consistently respectful to organizations outside the ones most like your own.

You seem to believe in universal truths about fraternities when it is clear that some things are relative.

I choose to bring in the NPHC perspective on certain topics and I should be able to do so without you checking behind my posts and dismissing them.

I am sick of you. Please put me on ignore.

It's hard to say.

I think that rarely will the best house on campus have low numbers compared to everyone on campus. Of course, it depends what you measure the best house on campus with.

The best house could be the largest or it could be in the middle of the pack numbers wise. I will say that for the most part that the best house will get the most quality guys-the guys that they want-and be compariable to everyone else on campus.

Although even the best house can screw off and drop the ball a semester.

Yes they can and it happens a lot.

Big numbers never deem a best house situation.

One can have a huge house, but if they are screw ups, well that should say it all.

As the Marines always say give me a few good men!

I agree with you Coramoor. But I will take your last line a bit farther. Yes, one can drop "the ball" for a semester/term (et al) but someone better be smart and fast enough to pick it back up. From what I have seen and heard, does not take all too long for a long,hard, fast fall..........

unfortunately, while the "best" fraternties are the ones with the best men, the best in the eyes of outsiders (and many insiders) is almost always dependant on numbers, especially in a thoroughly greek infused campus. I am at a campus where half of the houses are at or above 80 members, reaching upwards of 150. and the other half of the houses are at or less than 35 members. While amongst the leaders of the different organizations (fraternities in my case), there is mutual respect for each other's efforts, among the general chapters, as well as outside eyes, the smaller chapters are CLEARLY lesser chapters.

I believe that smaller chapters do have it much harder as a mediocre member can truly ruin a semester and even a chapter. Whereas it would take a complete idiot to take down a significantly larger chapter. It's just a game of percentages...
