No. Although there may be fraternities that are almost universally strong or weak in a particular region, and there certainly are some national fraternities that are larger than others (although all have "good" and "bad" chapters).
Ignore tiers as best you can. Online everybody will say chapters are "weird" and "creepy", but when you get to campus I think you'll be surprised...there will be many incredibly confident guys with excellent social skills in virtually every chapter, and awkward/shy guys in every chapter (including "top" houses). I think many freshmen read up on these things and then expect to breeze through recruitment at certain chapters, only to find that the guys are actually so socially confident to the point of intimidating and are shocked when they get cut. On the flip side, at other times rushees mentally psych themselves out expecting perfect "Frat Gods" at some chapters, and stumble over their words and blow it despite the fact the guys they talked to have average social skills at best and could have easily been won over if the rushee had been even moderately confident.
Also, although this site heavily favors the sorority side of things, using your full name and naming your intended school on a public message board was a decidedly bad choice. I don't care about non-Greeks asking "stupid" questions because we all had to start somewhere, but some people most certainly do.
