Frat Friend could be a good idea or a bad idea as they also have misconceptions. Often Fratties think the only that popular houses = where PNMs belong. If your D is cut from these houses and Frat Friend didn't think other houses were top tier, it might sway D from selecting a potential home. Worse, she could be embarrassed by perfectly good girls

I remember one Frat Friend of mine claiming XYZ was their "sister sorority" (p.s. there is no such thing). Another claimed, "oh we only have TGs with ABC" (another lie).

I also wouldn't look at the house numbers and assume they might close. Some of the smaller houses are small for a number of reasons. First, they may have just colonized, second, they may be a niche house. Small does not indicate they may close. It only means that they are small.

As for GPAs, that is somewhat one of the good indicators. When I rushed, I wasn't even interested in any house that was in the lower half of GPAs. My favorite two houses turned out to have the highest 2 GPAs probably because I found girls where we had a lot in common.

I really wouldn't worry about doing too much research because no amount of footwork will tell your D if she will click with other members.
