Tiers of the Big 12

KSU and OSU are pretty strong in my opinion. I put CU so low because they have no university backing. I'm pretty sure the University doesn't acknowledge the fraternity system there or something (no IFC).

Yeah that is true about CU. Forgot about that. I just really disliked OSU when I went up there. Stillwater is just a bad college town, in my opinion. Sorry to offend anyone if they go/went there. Just thought it was boring. I have a buddy in Sigma Nu there though, and from all indications they were a very strong house, probably the best on campus......and the only house it seemed to have the type of guys that you would find at your good Souther greek schools.

I was not aware that each of The Big XII schools had excellent Chapters of certain GLOs at each and everyone of them.

I just wonder if this is not true in any and all big conferences?

Is LXA,SAE, KA, KS, SX, SN, BTP, Etal on every campus in these conferences?

Maybe someone should check and find out.

There IS an IFC at CU, it's just that the system as a whole withdrew from University recognition over some new regulations (I think it was deferred rush, but I'm not sure)

KSU has a strong Greek system, cannot speak of OSU or ISU, Un Co. is not Greek friendly at all.

While never visited any of the Texas campi, UnNe. has a strong Greek base as does Un.Mo.

Un. Tx, seems to be gobbling up houses to expand.

I do not think anyone can belittle the Big XII schools for Greeks as most that I know are pretty strong. While spread out in housing sometimes it is hard to really tell.

Un. Ak should have joined the Big 8 when they had the chance and would not miss Un Co. at all!

Sorry miss typed the r! Wow, I am really sorry.

I am not sure what you mean by more money?

Oh, who won the NCAA Championship and who beat an SEC school? Oh, that must have been UNC.

How many other Conferences had so many schools in the NCAA than the Big XII? Oh, it must have been 5.

So, for what ever reason you mention money, that just might change won't it!

Oh, lest we forget, how many football teams were in bowls? Oh, seems that the Big XII was very well represented compared to some.
