"Best" Colleges and their Greek Systems

[Senusret I]

Harvard
Princeton
Yale
Cal Tech
MIT
Stanford
U Penn
Colombia
Chicago
Duke
Dartmouth
Northwestern
Wash U
Johns Hopkins
Cornell
Brown
Emory
Rice
Vanderbilt
Notre Dame
Berkeley
Carnegie Mellon
Georgetown
UCLA
UVA

Those are the colleges as ranked by US News and World Report in 2010. Rather than me going back and forth editing information about them (which I will quickly get annoyed with), let's just have free discussion on the topic at hand, which is the Greek systems at the aforementioned schools.

The existence of Alpha Phi Omega definitely doesn't indicate one way or another whether there is an active Social Greek system though.

A little off subject but was just reading an article about billionaire David Koch who is the second richest man (to Mayor Bloomburg) in NYC and learned that he is a product of MIT. He was a basketball star and a member of a fraternity. Does anyone know which one?
