Tiers of the Big 12

Texas has about 4 houses that would be considered a 'top' house at any school in the country. After that there's maybe 3 others at most that would stand a chance. Texas doesn't have a very high % of undergrads in Greek Life, I think a lot of this has to do with the difficulty of getting in the school.

Also, we have a few houses like ZBT that are traditionally jewish fraternities that are actually really strong chapters, they just tend to fly under the radar.

Yeah it has a lot to do with the difficulty of getting in.......and the fact that there are, what, 39,000 undergrads? Of course the % is going to be low.

I just don't think our system is "stagnant" or going down hill.
