Nebraska has a lot going for it. However it's certainly lost the party atmosphere it had in the 90's, and a lot of the issues with risk management, hazing/alcohol injuries (and deaths), awful grades, and the like hit chapters there a lot earlier than it did a lot of places.
This has resulted in a lot of positive aspects, but also things that when these sorts of debates crop up, people say Nebraska isn't "fratty" enough because they don't haze, they don't party in their houses, and most of the chapters have a decent relationship with their national organization and the campus administration (many of whom are Greek). The whole "just because a chapter wins awards doesn't mean they're a good chapter" argument could easily be leveled at Nebraska (and K-state), because many of the chapters are winning a lot of awards within their organizations.
There was one two-year period while I was in undergrad (I think it was 2002 and 2003), 9 - maybe even 10 or 11 chapters - counting both fraternities and sororities - won their organization's top chapter award at their annual or biennial convention. If this doesn't impress you, than you're going to say Nebraska isn't that good. If winning those awards means something to you, then you'll place Nebraska higher than some other schools on the list.
