Since Kappa Sigma was expanded, I can only assume the first list was taken from NIC groups only, of which some NPHC groups belong to, e.g., Alpha Phi Alpha and Kappa Alpha Psi (not sure about the rest).
I don't think it's shitty to rank at all. Ranking tells us where we are with respect to the competition and helps us to know what parts of the organization should be looked at for improvement, etc.
That's only, of course, if the rankings are based on facts which the organizations care about. I can't imagine an NIC convention where national officers and delegates are bragging about the number of brothers in Congress. For that matter, I can't imagine bragging about any association with anyone in Congress right now, but I digress.
These are clearly just-for-fun rankings, not meant to be taken seriously. I did enjoy the fact that Sigma Nu came in at #5, which is just about where we come in when ranking things like # of chapters and average chapter size.
I'd really like to see someone compile a ranking using meaningful criteria and can definitely see the use in such an exercise.
