I actually meant to have Beta in 3 and Phi Psi in 4, DU I considered, and I'd throw them in 4, I'll make a fifth tier
TKE, Zete, ADPhi, Delta Sig, Theta Xi, Chi Phi, Chi Psi

as it pains me, absolutely pains me to say anything good about TKE.. their national chapter is very good. Sigma Chi SAE FIJI and PIKE all have strong national chapters as well. Credit to Sigma Chi and Pike, for most of their chapters at other schools are very highly respected. Kappa Sig and Sig Nu as well.

Is everywhere, but they're weak at most schools and Pike is big but has a somewhat mixed reputation nationally, the tiers above are pretty damned accurate for the most part.

Sae and sigma chi are on their own level. Kappa sig has no solid west coast chapters

Kappa Sig has more chapters than TKE now though, and unlike TKE a good percentage are strong.

KS is top house at Boulder. They're low top - high middle at most CA schools. But, UCB is the only place where I can think of that they're the undisputed top.

Is top tier at the University of Texas and LSU for sure, and I think a good number of Southern and maybe Northeastern schools. Not that good in the West and West Coast true.

They're actually lower tier at more California schools from what I've heard though. They're great in other parts of the country but not so much the Western US.

Good for you, beta. Good for you. Very strong alumni network. And yes, this is not a beta saying this. Believe it or not I'm actually a ZBT from UCLA

that they messed up a lot of the non-profit numbers cause a lot are zero, and it casts doubt on the others (it wouldn't be surprising if they screwed up given their sorority list was based on Twitter followers and Facebook likes), and there are something like 4 or 5 multicultural fraternities on their while Kappa Sig and Phi Delt couldn't be considered because they aren't in the NiC anymore.

one needs updating, it was based on size, and Phi Psi is number 20 or so size wise, so that needs to be fixed, the other has multicultural and ag fraternities in the top 10, and a lot of the philanthropy numbers and other criteria are really off.

I have been to 30 or so colleges around the country and this seems to be the consensus: 1. Sigma chi 2. Sae. 3. Fiji. Though I am not in one of the aforementioned fraternities, this seems to be the consensus around the country

is no clear-cut number 3. Sigma Chi and SAE are in their own league, and there are a lot of good ones right below them, but even if there was a 3 I don't think it would be Fiji.

I've looked at Greek life nationally quite a bit and the tiers that got posted above were relatively accurate, a few adjustments could be made, but overall it's a relatively accurate list.
