Top Greek Schools

plus this is posted as the "Top greek schools" - so I wanted know in whose opinion these ranking were devised.

And it turns out that the article is actually 10 schools with the BIGGEST greek life.

It's been my observation that when it comes to articles or listings like this Biggest always =Top. They base these things on numbers- not local customs, traditions, history, etc.

First, AlphaFrog is right, and everyone else you have accused of being 'anal'. You HawaiiTKE are being quite rude.

Now back to that list...

Actually, I don't even think the list works if the sole criteria was Biggest (I assume you mean largest membership number). While its nice to see USC on this list I am pretty sure that Texas, Mizzou, UVA and even Michigan have much larger Greek populations than we do.

I would also be surprised if SMU has more Greeks than we do, let alone be large enough to be the sole representative from the state of Texas. Just on the basis that they are such a small school. And if the criteria was highest Greek percentage of the student body, there would be a whole lot more smaller schools than the big State universities on it. And I don't think it could be the number of Chapters either.

The creator must either have not had a strict criteria; not have done any proper research; or just plain did not care.

HawaiiTKE, though I appreciate you posting this list and wanting to get actively involved on this site, you might want to calm down a little because you may have pissed off a few people. It appears that you have posted TONS of stuff on this site already. While it's great to have someone so enthusiastic about Greek life (and TKE), just absorb some of the stuff on here for a little. I'm not trying to be hateful. It's just something to think about.

As far as the list goes, I really wish that if you are going to talk about Greek Life at Penn State they would take the time to mention Penn State's IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon--The LARGEST student-run philanthropy in the world. This year, the Greeks raised over $9.5 MILLION dollars in ONE year. That's something that makes me proud to be a Penn State Greek-not because of what this listing said.
