Top tier: Kap Sig, Sig Chi, and SAE you may not like them always, call them a$$holes, etc. but they are strong, with large chapters and respect from other strong frats and sororities.

I can see where you are going with your statement, but you have made some extreme over-generalizations and you definitly picked the wrong groups to back up your argument with.

Delta Upsilon's premier chapter, from what I've been told, is at the University of Missouri, and they are quite strong there (feel free to chime in and correct me if I am wrong on anything).

Also, their IU chapter has greatly improved and they are a pretty strong house now.

And Sigma Nu....they are definitly one of Indiana University's top houses.

I actually have been to a lot of campuses on the east coast, and in the midwest and in the south, and while there are some houses that tend to dominate, its definilty not 99% of the time and you can probably find another chapter within that same state that is in a bottom tier.

Chi Omega, probably one of the strongest GLOs out there has a 2/3 "top house" population rating amongst all of their chapter's campuses (an IU Chi-O told me this information...Chi Omega is definitly one of the top sororities at IU). Considering the amount of chapters that they have, 66% is an AMAZING PERCENTAGE to have (remember, this is TOP HOUSE, it doesnt even include the "good house" chapters), but a far cry from 99%, or even 75%.

I really enjoy this thread and hearing people's perspectives, however, I beg of people to stop slinging groups nationally. While I will agree that there is a trend of certain GLO's to be stronger at most of their schools, I think that there are very few people here who have the actual experience and who have actually done the massive amount of in depth research to be able to back up who's who.

Besides, whether your house is top or bottom tier on a campus or not, they still belong to a greater national organization, and in the end after graduation, that network is what will really count.
