It is kind of a straw man isn't it?

The entire article builds up this Greek System (that I don't think really exists). It does a great job of playing to all of the stereotypes. At the end, it knocks them down and seems to say "Rush Beta!".

It's an underhanded way of saying "We are cool, all the rest suck". I like that the author said that there ARE good houses on campus, I just don't think it was appropriate for him to use his position to mention that his house was indeed one of these great chapters.
