I'm curious which fraternities you would classify as "top fraternities" at UNC. Not necessarily asking you to post that here, though, since that usually results in some bloodshed. (Like you, I know people on here are against tiers -- I agree that they do exist, but the reality is that a lot depends on who is defining them and how.)
And I also assume you know that the rest of North Carolina has long considered metropolitan Charlotte/Mecklenburg County to be only nominally part of North Carolina -- not representative of and out of touch with the rest of the state.

I speculate that you would be right.

But what you have to understand is that in much of the population from which UNC pulls its students (and its fraternities pull their members), "leaning to the right" does not equal Republican. North Carolina is a state full of relatively conservative and moderate Democrats, many of whom vote Republican for president and US Senate, but Democratic otherwise.
